The impact of the COVID-19 on the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities (PID) has been little studied.
We analyzed its impact with a cohort study quantitatively analyzing anxiety, depression, organic symptoms, quality of life, and support needs in 24 PID, aged 19-74 years (x¯ 40, σ = 13.09), living in a residential center, before, during, and after the pandemic.
Their mental health improved unexpectedly at the onset of the lockdown although there was an increase in organic symptoms. But, with the progress of the lockdown, their mental health deteriorated drastically. On the contrary, as expected, their quality of life and support needs worsened from the beginning of the lockdown until the country returned to normality, a time when there was a general recovery, without reaching pre-pandemic levels. These results show that the mental health of PID was affected differently to that of people without intellectual disabilities.
新冠疫情对智障人士福祉的影响鲜有研究。
我们通过一项队列研究分析其影响，定量分析了24名年龄在19至74岁（平均年龄40岁，标准差 = 13.09）、居住在寄宿中心的智障人士在疫情前、疫情期间和疫情后的焦虑、抑郁、躯体症状、生活质量及支持需求。
尽管躯体症状有所增加，但在封锁开始时，他们的心理健康意外改善。然而，随着封锁的持续，他们的心理健康急剧恶化。相反，正如预期的那样，从封锁开始到国家恢复正常（这一时期总体有所恢复，但未达到疫情前水平），他们的生活质量和支持需求不断恶化。这些结果表明，智障人士的心理健康受到的影响与非智障人士不同。
