BACKGROUND
The literature emphasizes that friendships are essential to youths' successful transition to and adjustment in adulthood. Few studies have explored the friendships of transition-aged youths with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and even fewer include youths' own perspectives. This qualitative study explored the perspectives of transition-aged youths with IDD regarding their own experiences of friendship.
METHOD
A subset of video-recorded data of 21 interviews with seven participants (20-24 years) was extracted from a larger study for secondary analysis. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, informed by constructivist grounded theory methods.
RESULTS
Three themes were revealed: meanings of friends and friendship, deepening self-knowledge and negotiating in(ter)dependence.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings expand existing knowledge about friendships of transition-aged youths with IDD. Findings can potentially inform development of new services or enhancement of existing services aimed at facilitating transition to adulthood for youths with IDD and point to key areas for future research.
背景
文献强调，友谊对于青少年成功过渡到成年期并融入成年生活至关重要。很少有研究探讨过渡年龄阶段的智力和发育障碍（IDD）青少年的友谊，而纳入青少年自身观点的研究更少。这项定性研究探讨了患有IDD的过渡年龄阶段青少年对自身友谊经历的看法。
方法
从一项规模更大的研究中提取了对7名参与者（年龄在20 - 24岁）进行的21次访谈的部分视频记录数据，用于二次分析。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析，并以建构主义扎根理论方法为指导。
结果
揭示了三个主题：朋友和友谊的意义、深化自我认知以及协商相互依赖。
结论
这些发现扩展了关于患有IDD的过渡年龄阶段青少年友谊的现有知识。研究结果可能为旨在促进患有IDD的青少年向成年期过渡的新服务开发或现有服务的改进提供参考，并指出未来研究的关键领域。
