Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There have been numerous research studies stating the fact that the pandemic affected people with disabilities’ working lives. Less research has been conducted on how people with disabilities coped with and learned from these challenges. This scoping review maps research conducted in the field of disability research and multidisciplinary research, published from the outbreak of the pandemic until October 31, 2022. The focus is on how people with disabilities adapted their working lives to the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and what working practices and strategies they applied to manage the situation. From an extensive search in bibliographic databases, eight research articles were identified. The review results reveal both challenges and new openings for the working life of people with disabilities post-pandemic. Implications for future research are identified, addressing intersectionality, hybrid work environments, digital gaps and increased participation of people with disabilities in research.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the result of a survey study where representing members of the disability movement in Sweden have shared their experiences of living and acting during the first year of the Covid-19-pandemic. The aim was to identify crisis communication challenges and where additional communication material and methods are needed for supporting people in going from knowledge to taking action for achieving a higher level of crisis preparedness. The paper also includes a brief summary of a literature review of previous international research on disabilities and the Covid-19 pandemic. Three categories of crisis communication challenges were identified displaying a vulnerability in society and pointing towards several important knowledge gaps that ought to be addressed in order to achieve crisis preparedness among all people. The results indicate that there is a need for additional communication materials and methods that can be appropriated to individual needs, and dialogue methods between authorities and people in order to counteract normative assumptions in crisis communication aimed at different target groups.

Working life of people with disabilities during the Covid-19 pandemic : An interview study conducted in Sweden
- 2023
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report presents the results from an interview study carried out as part of the research project "Working life during the Covid-19 pandemic: learning experiences, design opportunities and future working life for people with disabilities". The aims of the research project are, firstly, to investigate how people with various disabilities experienced and coped with their working lives during the Covid-19 pandemic, and what tools and strategies they used to achieve social participation. Secondly, to explore how these learning experiences and insights can contribute to improving the conditions for vulnerable groups to participate in and contribute to working life.The report includes a large collection of opportunities and challenges faced by people with disabilities in their working lives during the pandemic. The experiences and stories shared by the 26 interviewees evoke many thoughts and reflections about remote working conditions, often in hybrid settings. Opportunities and challenges are identified in three themes: I) Social support, II) Work environment, and III) Technology, accessibility, and infrastructure. Above all, the report is forward-looking, and the insights presented provide input to the shaping of future working life in a post-pandemic world. It highlights what is required in terms of leadership, work environment, digital competencies, access to technology and infrastructure.
