We compared a group of people with learning disabilities who have been deinstitutionalized with a control group remaining in an institution on measures of adaptive and maladaptive behaviour, community living skills, social skills, and quality of life. In general, there was no change over 30 months for the control group. Changes for the experimental group were either not seen or were generally modest in scale, and tended to occur within 6 months of moving, the measures staying relatively stable thereafter. Implications for detailed examination of the effects of deinstitutionalization were discussed.
我们将一组已去机构化的学习障碍者与仍留在机构中的对照组在适应性和适应不良行为、社区生活技能、社交技能及生活质量等方面进行了比较。总体而言,对照组在30个月内没有变化。实验组的变化要么未被观察到,要么规模普遍较小,且往往发生在搬离后的6个月内,此后各项指标相对稳定。文中讨论了对去机构化效果进行详细检查的意义。
