This research was a study with a quasi-experimental design which investigated the effects of an empowerment program on intrinsic motivation of persons with disabilities. The study was based on the concept of the empowerment process, as proposed by Gibson. The samples of this study were men and women with disabilities aged 20-60 years who had lost their limbs. They were residents of Nakhonsawan Province, Thailand. Sixty participants met inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned into either an experimental group or a control group. Intrinsic motivation was measured before and after the empowerment program. The experimental group received an empowerment program. The empowerment program was conducted through group sessions. Participants in the experimental group were divided into two subgroups with 15 participants in each group. One group had the empowerment program on Saturday and the other on Sunday. The program was given five hours a day each week for six consecutive weeks. Thus, each group had a total of 30 hours in the program from June 3 until July 8, 2006. Participants in the control group performed their regular activities. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using frequency, means, and standard deviations. Intrinsic motivation score was analyzed by using dependent t-test and independent t-test. The results indicated that the intrinsic motivation score of participants in the experimental group after receiving the empowerment program was statistically higher than before receiving the program (p‹.05). In addition after the intervention, scores of intrinsic motivation of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group at a statistically significant level of .05. This study shows that an empowerment program could improve the intrinsic motivation of persons with disabilities. Therefore, this method might be useful for promoting intrinsic motivation among people with other kinds of disabilities.
