This study aimed to apply the COM-B model to understand the capabilities, opportunities, and motivations for walking behaviour among adults with intellectual disabilities.
A qualitative study was conducted with adults (≥ 18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities living in Greater Glasgow using one-to-one interviews (n = 12; women = 5) and a photo-elicitation activity followed by a focus group discussion (n = 5; women = 1). The framework approach to analysis allowed for the influences of walking to be mapped onto the COM-B model.
Walking is a complex behaviour with many capabilities, opportunities and motivations to consider. Adults with intellectual disabilities were involved in making decisions about what results should be prioritised.
The COM-B model is a flexible framework that can be applied to understand health behaviours of adults with intellectual disabilities. It is imperative to work with adults with intellectual disabilities throughout the research process.
本研究旨在应用COM-B模型来理解成年智障人士步行行为的能力、机会和动机。
对居住在大格拉斯哥地区的轻度至中度智障成年（≥18岁）开展了一项定性研究，采用一对一访谈（n = 12；女性 = 5）以及一项照片引发活动，随后进行焦点小组讨论（n = 5；女性 = 1）。分析的框架方法有助于将步行的影响映射到COM-B模型上。
步行是一种复杂行为，有许多需要考虑的能力、机会和动机。智障成年人参与了关于应优先考虑哪些结果的决策。
COM-B模型是一个灵活的框架，可用于理解智障成年人的健康行为。在整个研究过程中与智障成年人合作至关重要。
