Adults with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) have problems to be actively involved in essential life activities that affect their health. The aim of this study was to explore the utility of goal attainment scaling (GAS) in evaluating an intervention for adults with PIMD, and to describe how the GAS goals were set according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) domains of body function as well as activity and participation.
As part of an aquatic intervention (Structured water dance), 28 adults with PIMD received GAS goals which were adapted to their individual needs and which the intervention could affect.
Twenty of the goals were formulated within the ICF Activity/Participation domain and eight within the Body Functions domains. On average, participants improved by 1.25 levels on the five-level GAS scales.
GAS can be a useful tool for setting and evaluating individualized and meaningful goals, in body functions as well as in activity and participation, related to a healthpromoting activity for adults with PIMD.
患有严重智力和多重残疾（PIMD）的成年人在积极参与影响其健康的基本生活活动方面存在困难。本研究的目的是探讨目标达成量表（GAS）在评估针对PIMD成年人的干预措施中的效用，并描述如何根据国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）的身体功能以及活动和参与领域来设定GAS目标。
作为一项水上干预措施（结构化水舞）的一部分，28名患有PIMD的成年人接受了根据其个人需求调整且干预措施能够影响的GAS目标。
其中20个目标在ICF活动/参与领域内制定，8个在身体功能领域内制定。在五级GAS量表上，参与者平均提高了1.25个等级。
GAS可以成为设定和评估与针对PIMD成年人的健康促进活动相关的、在身体功能以及活动和参与方面的个性化且有意义目标的有用工具。
