The life expectancy of people with intellectual disabilities has increased. The implications of ageing have resulted in changes in their support needs and challenges to support staff. Access to evidence based strategies for support staff providing care to elderly with intellectual disabilities remains scarce. A systematic review was conducted to provide an overview of available psychosocial interventions.
Four databases were searched and assessed according to the PRISMA guidelines. A narrative, integrative method of analysis was conducted to synthesise quantitative and qualitative data.
The 36 studies included in the review reported on interventions aimed at either identifying and meeting the needs or perceptions of older individuals or at improving their behaviour and skills. Furthermore, the role of support staff in the implementation of interventions was either active, assisting or undefined.
This overview of studies could contribute to the existing body of knowledge and help to optimise psychosocial support for a growing population.
智障人士的预期寿命有所延长。随着人口老龄化，他们的支持需求发生了变化，给支持人员带来了挑战。为智障老年人提供护理的支持人员获取基于证据的策略的机会仍然很少。进行了系统评价，以提供现有心理社会干预措施的概述。
根据 PRISMA 指南搜索并评估了四个数据库。采用叙述性、综合的分析方法来综合定量和定性数据。
综述中纳入的 36 项研究报告了旨在确定和满足老年人需求或认知，或改善他们行为和技能的干预措施。此外，支持人员在干预措施实施中的作用是主动的、辅助的或未定义的。
对这些研究的综述可以丰富现有知识体系，并有助于为不断增长的人口提供最佳的心理社会支持。
