To help people with intellectual disabilities lead a more independent life, it is important to promote their self-management. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a self-management training for people with intellectual disabilities directed at independent functioning in daily life.
In the training, 17 people with intellectual disabilities worked on personal self-management goals covering a wide range of everyday affairs. Primary outcome measures focused on goal attainment, independence and support needs. Moreover, outcomes regarding psychopathological behaviour and quality of life were explored. Data were collected before and at the start of the training, and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months later.
The training contributed to the attainment of self-management goals and to the reduction in support needs (p < 0.01). There were no changes in independence, psychopathological behaviour and quality of life.
Results indicate that the training supports people with intellectual disabilities to self-manage their daily affairs.
为帮助智障人士过上更独立的生活,促进他们的自我管理非常重要。本研究评估了一项针对智障人士的自我管理培训在日常生活中实现独立功能方面的有效性。
在培训中,17名智障人士致力于涵盖广泛日常事务的个人自我管理目标。主要结果指标集中在目标达成、独立性和支持需求上。此外,还探讨了心理病理行为和生活质量方面的结果。在培训开始前、培训开始时以及3、6、9和12个月后收集数据。
培训有助于实现自我管理目标并减少支持需求(p < 0.01)。独立性、心理病理行为和生活质量没有变化。
结果表明,该培训支持智障人士自我管理日常事务。
