Positive behavioural support (PBS) has been identified as a means of improving the quality of life and support of people with an intellectual disability. This qualitative study explored the views of service providers about a regional PBS programme, that was underpinned by a workforce development approach.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior staff (n = 42), from organizations which provided services to people with an intellectual disability, about their views about, and perceived impact of, the PBS programme, Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
Two themes were identified: "It's what PBS is about, isn't it?" emphasized the importance of the programme being systemic- and evidence-based; "Macro to micro" highlighted the different points in the systems of care at which the programme was seen to impact.
We discuss the results in the context of the study limitations.
积极行为支持（PBS）已被确定为提高智障人士生活质量和支持的一种手段。这项定性研究探讨了服务提供者对一个以劳动力发展方法为基础的区域 PBS 计划的看法。
对提供智障人士服务的组织的高级工作人员（n=42）进行了半结构化访谈，了解他们对 PBS 计划的看法和感知影响。使用主题分析对数据进行分析。
确定了两个主题：“这就是 PBS 的意义，不是吗？”强调了该计划具有系统性和基于证据的重要性；“宏观到微观”突出了在护理系统的不同点上，该计划被认为具有影响。
我们在考虑研究局限性的情况下讨论了结果。
