Information regarding the common-daily support needs of older people with intellectual disabilities remains scarce, despite the necessity of such knowledge to the provision of adequate support. This exploratory study aims to identify the most important support needs.
A mixed-method design was conducted, in which 11 semi-structured interviews were held with psychologists to gain insight into the support needs of older people with intellectual disabilities.
The data provide an overview of the support needs of older people with intellectual disabilities in all quality-of-life (QoL) domains. Physical well-being, emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships and self-determination were identified as the most important domains for older people with intellectual disabilities.
The findings of this study may guide the development of a specific training for support staff and constitute a valuable contribution to raising awareness among support staff concerning the broad range of support needs existing among older people with intellectual disabilities.
尽管了解老年人智力残疾的常见日常支持需求对于提供适当的支持至关重要，但此类知识仍然十分匮乏。本探索性研究旨在确定最重要的支持需求。
采用混合方法设计，对心理学家进行了 11 次半结构化访谈，以深入了解老年人智力残疾的支持需求。
数据概述了老年人智力残疾在所有生活质量（QoL）领域的支持需求。身体健康、情绪健康、人际关系和自决被确定为老年人智力残疾最重要的领域。
本研究结果可以为支持人员的特定培训提供指导，并为提高支持人员对老年人智力残疾存在的广泛支持需求的认识做出有价值的贡献。
