People with intellectual disabilities are known to have increased medical needs and are prescribed more medication than the general population. Understanding the reality of incorporating medication into their lives would help healthcare professionals provide care in more meaningful and personalised ways.
A narrative review of the current literature relating to people with intellectual disabilities and their experience of medication/pharmaceutical care.
Electronic databases were searched for articles relating to intellectual disabilities and medication administration or pharmaceutical care. Other relevant papers identified from included article reference lists were also identified. A narrative literature was undertaken due to the heterogeneity of the identified papers.
A total of 29 studies from the literature searches were included alongside other relevant papers.
The published literature noted some aspects of the medication-related experiences of people with intellectual disabilities. However, a greater understanding of medication-related experiences is still required.
智障人士的医疗需求比一般人群更高，他们服用的药物也更多。了解他们将药物融入日常生活的实际情况，将有助于医疗保健专业人员以更有意义和个性化的方式提供护理。
对与智障人士及其药物使用/药物护理体验相关的现有文献进行叙述性回顾。
电子数据库中搜索与智力残疾和药物管理或药物护理相关的文章。还从纳入文章的参考文献中确定了其他相关论文。由于所确定的论文存在异质性，因此进行了叙述性文献综述。
文献检索共纳入 29 项研究以及其他相关论文。
已发表的文献记录了智障人士与药物相关的一些体验，但仍需要更深入地了解他们的药物使用体验。
