According to many authors, the access to public health service is obstructed for the intellectually handicapped people. To meet this argument Special Olympics created a program Healthy Sportsmen. This program relates to intellectually handicapped people all over the world and its aim is to diagnose selected clinical illnesses and create data bank of this social group. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for the 'young physicians' to improve their knowledge and skills in the area of practice with the handicapped.
The aim of the study was to answer the question: what is the parents' evaluation of the quality of the selected health services provided to children with different degree of intellectual handicap on the example of two voivodeships of southern Poland. 108 parents of intellectually disabled children took part in the study (51 women and 57 men): 71 respondents (66%) from the Silesian voivodeship and 37 (34%) from the Lesser Poland voivodeship. The study included the author's questionnaire in which 15 questions, concerning the opinions about selected medical services, were asked.
In the opinion of parents' of the intellectually handicapped the access to dental services was evaluated at the lowest level. The attitude of the society towards the people with mental handicap, support and help offers from the Health Service units and the accessibility of the secondary health care were evaluated at similarly low level. The services provided by the primary care physicians and physiotherapists were evaluated at the highest level.
There is a constant need to improve the methods of practice with the intellectually handicapped patients.
许多作者认为，智障人士获得公共卫生服务存在障碍。为应对这一问题，特奥会创建了“健康运动员”项目。该项目面向全球智障人士，旨在诊断特定临床疾病并建立这个社会群体的数据库。此外，它还为“年轻医生”提供了一个在为残疾人提供医疗服务的实践领域提高知识和技能的机会。
本研究旨在回答以下问题：以波兰南部两个省为例，家长对为不同程度智障儿童提供的特定医疗服务质量的评价如何？108名智障儿童的家长参与了研究（51名女性和57名男性）：71名受访者（66%）来自西里西亚省，37名（34%）来自小波兰省。研究采用了作者设计的问卷，其中包含15个关于对特定医疗服务看法的问题。
在智障儿童家长看来，获得牙科服务的评价最低。社会对智障人士的态度、卫生服务单位提供的支持和帮助以及二级医疗保健的可及性评价同样较低。初级保健医生和物理治疗师提供的服务评价最高。
持续需要改进针对智障患者的医疗实践方法。
