Implication

Randomized trial explores healthcare needs and disability acceptance in Koreans with disabilities, suggesting psychosocial support can enhance access.

Key Points

This study examines the relationship between disability acceptance and unmet healthcare needs over time.
Analyzed data from seven annual waves (2018–2024) of the Korean Disability and Life Dynamics Panel (N=6121).
Measured disability acceptance using a 12-item scale and unmet healthcare needs with a dichotomous item.
Utilized a Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM) for analysis.
Significant negative trait-level correlation between disability acceptance and unmet healthcare needs (r = −0.132, p = 0.001).
Cross-lagged associations indicated that higher disability acceptance was linked to lower unmet healthcare needs at various waves (e.g., β = −0.057, p = 0.002).
Significant paths occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, implying impacts on healthcare access.
