Despite awareness of the age related health needs of people with intellectual disabilities little is known regarding how residential social care staff are prepared to meet such needs.
Data were gathered via semi-structured interviews from 14 managers of supported living settings. Transcripts were thematically analysed.
Staff may work in supported living settings with no prior experience of care work, and previous knowledge/experience of supporting people in relation to their health is not required. Whilst health related training is provided there is a lack of specific training regarding healthy ageing, and training seems to be reactive to changing needs of tenants meaning that proactive monitoring for changes in health status may not occur.
Whilst some training is provided for residential social care staff in relation to health and ageing a more proactive approach is required which should include a focus on healthy ageing.
尽管人们已经意识到智力残疾者的年龄相关健康需求，但对于居住在社会关怀环境中的工作人员如何准备满足这些需求，知之甚少。
通过半结构化访谈从 14 名支持性居住环境的管理人员处收集数据。对记录文本进行主题分析。
工作人员可能在没有任何护理工作经验的支持性居住环境中工作，并且不需要具备与他们的健康相关的先前知识/经验。虽然提供了与健康相关的培训，但缺乏关于健康老龄化的具体培训，并且培训似乎是对租户需求变化的被动反应，这意味着对健康状况变化的主动监测可能不会发生。
虽然为居住在社会关怀环境中的工作人员提供了一些与健康和老龄化相关的培训，但需要采取更积极主动的方法，其中应包括关注健康老龄化。
