Open-ended interviews were conducted with 12 people with a mental handicap who had left parental homes in order to live as tenants in community residential hostels. Parents and hostel staff were also interviewed. The nature of life in the family home, and the tenant's role in the move, reasons for leaving home and expectations for the future were explored. It was found that social life, autonomy and opportunities to develop self-help skills had been limited at home. The tenants who had the widest social experience and the greatest use of self-help skills at home were the most active in changing their situation. Tenants hoped to gain more freedom by leaving home, although they were also in agreement with parents and staff about the value of learning new skills.
对12名智障人士进行了开放式访谈，他们已离开父母家，以租户身份居住在社区寄宿公寓。同时也采访了父母和公寓工作人员。探讨了家庭生活的本质、租户在搬家过程中的角色、离家原因以及对未来的期望。研究发现，在家时社交生活、自主性和发展自助技能的机会都很有限。在家中社交经验最丰富且最常使用自助技能的租户，在改变自身状况方面最为积极。租户希望通过离家获得更多自由，尽管他们在学习新技能的价值方面也与父母和工作人员达成了共识。
