CARVALHO, Alana Nagai Lins de    SILVA, Joilson Pereira da. Social Representations of University Students with Physical Disability about the Sexuality of Disabled Persons. []. , 20, 3, pp.709-728. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2020.54343.

The main objective of this study was to identify and analyze the social representations of university students with physical disability, about the sexuality of disabled persons. Ten physically disabled students, of both sexes, aged 18 years or older, volunteered to participate and were submitted to a semi-structured interview script, associated with a sociodemographic questionnaire. The analysis was developed through software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaire (IRAMUTEQ) by means of a Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC) and descriptive statistics using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The dendrogram presented as results the concept and experience of sexuality, the family participation, the importance given to the body, the construction of identity as a disabled person and their rights. Thus, the social representations about the sexuality of disabled persons reported to two perspectives: subjective and social.
