Canadians with intellectual disabilities experience barriers in accessing federal government services and programmes. Evolving from established models of patient navigation, service navigation has emerged as a potential way to address systematic barriers.
A scoping review was conducted with a search strategy implemented across six databases, including APA PsycInfo, Medline, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and ProQuest Sociology Collection.
One hundred and twelve studies were identified as relevant to the research question. Despite variance in terminology, definition, and practice, included studies affirm the need for navigational support and highlight the potential impact of support.
The included literature identifies navigation support as a promising practice to remove barriers and advance access to programs and services for people with intellectual disabilities. Additional study is needed to specify the impact related to accessing federal programs and services in a Canadian context.
患有智力残疾的加拿大人在获取联邦政府服务和项目时面临障碍。从既定的患者导航模式发展而来,服务导航已成为解决系统性障碍的一种潜在方式。
进行了一项范围综述,采用在六个数据库中实施的检索策略,包括美国心理学会心理学文摘数据库(APA PsycInfo)、医学索引数据库(Medline)、护理学与健康领域数据库(CINAHL)、荷兰医学文摘数据库(Embase)、Scopus数据库和ProQuest社会学文集数据库。
112项研究被确定与研究问题相关。尽管在术语、定义和实践方面存在差异,但纳入的研究肯定了导航支持的必要性,并强调了支持的潜在影响。
纳入的文献将导航支持确定为一种有前景的做法,可消除障碍并促进智力残疾者获得项目和服务。需要进一步研究以明确在加拿大背景下与获取联邦项目和服务相关的影响。
