Abstract (sommario):

A literature review examines how mental health difficulties may differ for people with learning disabilities (PwLD) and the general population; with respect to their vulnerability to mental ill-health and the definition, presentation and treatment of mental health problems. Factors which have been found to positively impact on the mental health of PwLD are then explored. The review considers methodological limitations and gaps in our understanding, highlighting a need for further research focusing on mental health recovery for individuals with learning disabilities. Section B presents a study exploring what recovery means for people with learning disabilities and mental health difficulties. Interviews were conducted with nine individuals and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis used. A model was developed which described participants’ entry to the therapeutic service and their progression towards recovery. The model firstly describes how participants felt entering the service, their Mental Health/Therapy Experience, and explains how these experiences were validated and the recovery process enabled through the therapeutic alliance. Once enabled, the second dimension of the model is detailed, that of the Client Recovery Experience which extends across three phases of recovery. The first phase, Feeling Better describes elements perceived as integral to improved mental health. The second phase, Recovery Ongoing identifies that more input is required. Thirdly, Attainability?: Reality, Ideals and Fantasy, reveals PwLD’s perceptions of recovery and the techniques used in striving to achieve this. Salient features of recovery specific to PwLD are recognised as important to clinical practice, and results suggest there is a need to openly discuss LD identity, and address idealisations surrounding a non-LD one. This would involve setting realistic goals and managing expectations accordingly and focussing on social integration as a way of enabling ongoing recovery.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Work, leisure and retirement are fundamental aspects of life for individuals with an intellectual disability, just as with the general population. Many educational efforts have taught knowledge and skills to persons with an intellectual disability to improve their functioning in the work and leisure domains. More recently, retirement concerns have become particularly salient because so many individuals now live much longer. The present study looked at using a conceptual approach to improve education in these three domains. It employed the principles that instruction works much better when it proceeds from an individual=s existing concepts and that instruction should teach useful concepts that an individual can apply to improve his or her real world functioning. This conceptual approach has not been used much with the education of persons with an intellectual disability. In Study 1, sixty adults with an intellectual disability were interviewed to determine their existing concepts of work, leisure and retirement and their work and leisure histories. Most had solid concepts of work and leisure, but with some gaps, particularly in notions of volunteer work and occupational status. Most reported satisfactory work and leisure lives. Most had a relatively poor concept of retirement at best and had done little or no retirement planning. These data suggested some key targets for an educational program to improve their knowledge and functioning in these domains. In Study 2, these data were used to develop an instructional program that focussed on gaps in knowledge of volunteer work, banking, budgeting and participation in satisfying leisure activities and in retirement planning. This instructional program was delivered over eight weeks to a class consisting of nine adults with an intellectual disability, with some success. This general conceptual approach can be usefully applied to teaching in other important domains with persons with an intellectual disability. They can be taught key concepts which they can use to live their lives more purposely and independently.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding and the perceptions of parenting skills of persons with mental handicaps and their perceptions of the quality and the availability of support services. Parenting skills were considered in terms of nutritional and meal planning skills, discipline and behaviour management, home safety and emergency and interaction and social stimulation. Supports were considered of in terms of formal and family services. An open-ended questionnaire was used to interview 25 mentally handicapped mothers. Findings indicated that mothers perceived the process of disciplining and providing a stimulating environment as the most difficult aspect of parenting. In terms of the support services, mothers were generally satisfied with the availability and sources of formal support. However, in terms of the quality of formal support, mothers indicated that such support should be modified to meet their needs. Mothers' perceptions of family support were differentially affected by their marital status. The presence of a spouse in the home and the opportunity to interact with extended family members were two factors which affected the quality of family support. In two-parent families, spousal support enabled the mothers to deal more effectively with their children. Findings also indicated that support from extended families was not available to most mothers.

Young, Sadie. "Personal constructs of intellectually disabled people". Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 1994. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.262355.

Abstract (sommario):

The main focus of this thesis is to investigate the mental worlds of intellectually disabled people. It is intended to provide information about how members of this population construe their environments and how recent changes in the philosophy of care have affected their construct systems. Personal construct theory is used as the model that underpins the studies in the thesis and a modified version of repertory grid technique is developed and used to explore physical and social aspects of each subject's environment. After a pilot study was conducted to establish the viability of using modified rep grid techniques with this population, a longitudinal study over a four year period investigated the social constructs of 15 intellectually disabled residents. Eight were still in an institution at the end of the study and seven had moved into the community during that period. A comparison group of eight staff were sampled at the beginning of the longitudinal study. Information is made available concerning the size and complexity of each subject's construct system. It was found that the size and content of the construct systems of intellectually disabled people is limited relative to the comparison group and does not change significantly over four years. construct systems were analysed using two computerbased programs that solved the patterns of interrelationships and a graphic presentation of the network of significant correlations between constructs was completed. It was found that the graphic presentation was adequate for the intellectually disabled respondents but not for the comparison group. No difference was found between the community-based group of intellectually disabled people and those still resident in the hospital after four years. A further study with 17 intellectually disabled people, parents and non-parents, found no difference in their construct systems of children. These results are discussed in the context of the present philosophy and practice of normalisation and social role valorisation.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation explores how an interdisciplinary analysis may contribute insight into how literary and policy discourses construct the life experiences of people who have mental disabilities that impair their ability to communicate their own life stories. Chapter One explains why a more comprehensive understanding of the cultural construction of mental disability may be achieved by exploring interdisciplinary relationships between social work, disability studies and literary theory. Subsequent chapters examine theoretical assumptions and frameworks associated with these contributing disciplines in greater detail, across systematic and interpretive analytic approaches. In addition, key concepts and questions relevant to constructing a vocabulary that facilitates collaboration between the contributing disciplines are considered. This literature review informs a methodology for undertaking an interpretive discourse analysis of pertinent policy and novels that depict disability within the context of Ontario's 'Institutional Cycle'. Specifically, the research attempts to answer the following questions: What is the relationship between the representation of mental disability in literary narratives and public policy discourses about mental disability; and, how may an interdisciplinary analysis of literary and policy discourses inform policy planning and the provision of services for people with mental disabilities in Ontario? Chapters 6-8 analyze the literary and policy data across Establishment, Reform and Dismantlement phases of the Institutional Cycle to arrive at a set of findings and recommendations that explain relationships between policy and novels across the phases of the Cycle. Finally, key themes for consideration in policy planning for people with mental disabilities are identified as priorities for action in an emerging 'post-institutional' era, in Ontario.

Abstract (sommario):

The effects of the Supported Work Model program components on the job stabilization and the job maintenance (short term and long term employment, respectively) of individuals with mental handicaps were determined using path analysis. The subjects for this study were 295 consumers receiving supported employment (SE) services from 70 service agencies in Virginia placed in individual job settings between September 1, 1987 and July 1, 1989. The data were abstracted from a national SE data bank maintained by the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RR TC) of Virginia Commonwealth University. Separate path models were estimated for consumer job stabilization and consumer job maintenance. Major contributors to job stabilization were on-the-job training and advocacy support. Transportation availability prior to placement and consumer participation in government benefit programs were identified as statistically significant background characteristics which enhanced job stabilization. Other background characteristics had no effects on job stabilization; however, they did influence the amount of training and advocacy support consumers required. Job maintenance was affected by the amount of on-going follow-along support consumers received as well as their employer's support for working with individuals who have handicaps. Background and job site character istics, as well as training/advocacy support, had no effect on job maintenance, but they did influence the amount of follow-along support consumers received. These results suggest that the Supported Work Model is a good framework for providing services for individuals with mental handicaps. Service providers can improve consumer employment success by making consumer transportation arrangements prior to placement and by placing consumers with employers who are supportive of individuals with handicaps.

Abstract (sommario):

People with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in similar ways as individuals in the general population. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and describe clinicians perceptions of trauma treatment for people with ID. Theories of trauma, PTSD, and stigma were part of the conceptual framework from which interview questions were developed. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit 8 participants in the Denver, Colorado area. Four participants had experience working with people with ID, and 4 participants did not have this experience. Participants sat for semi structured open-ended recorded interviews, which were used to gather data for interpretation. Eight essential themes were identified: (a) chosen field, (b) lack of training, (c) stigma and stereotypes, (d) they're just folks like us, (e) preying on their vulnerabilities, (f) PTSD and trauma symptoms are the same with people with ID, (g) EMDR and the adaptive information processing theory, and (h) mindfulness interventions. The participants dispelled myths such as people with ID do not experience trauma and PTSD, and people with ID cannot participate in trauma therapy such as EMDR. Participants who had experience working with people with ID wanted more training on adaptations for treatment interventions, and participants without this experience welcomed advanced training on trauma treatment for people with ID. This study adds to the research on trauma treatment for people with ID and may affect social change by inspiring more conversations among clinicians on appropriate trauma treatment for people with ID. Clinicians with experience can build stronger relationships with community mental health centers, and continue to educate, clients, families, direct care providers, and agency personnel on trauma-informed care.

Abstract (sommario):

The meaning of caregiving for a relative with mental illness has been explored in many research studies: however, there is a lack of studies on the caregiving experience within the Egyptian culture. This study aimed at getting closer to Egyptian families caring for a relative with mental illness in Australia in order to reveal how these families live and cope with mental illness, their attitudes, their beliefs and practices and how the experience affected them. Qualitative hermeneutic phenomenology informed by the work of Heidegger was used. Seven participants from Egyptian background, caring for a relative with mental illness participated and all interviews were audio-taped. Interviews were conducted in the Arabic language and were then translated and transcribed into English. All interviews were compared and five common themes were identified. Why did it happen?: How do I protect my loved ones?: What has it done to me?: What has it done to us?: and How do I survive? Findings of the study have the potential to raise health care professionals’ awareness of the needs of Egyptian families, their beliefs, values and coping with mental illness. Strengths and limitations of the study are also presented to inform future research

Abstract (sommario):

Intellectual disability, and in particular profound intellectual disability, has an impact on all aspects of a quality of life including that of spiritual development. Some insight into this influence can be gained from a historical review of the attitudes in general towards people with an intellectual disability. Such a review may be especially pertinent when inferences can be drawn from a religious context. References from the Bible through to contemporary sources present, at best, a mixed record. Contemporary responses from the church have taken the form of policies and guidelines, as well as theological argument, encouraging the inclusion of people with intellectual disability in many aspects of church life. Such policies support programs both within and outside the church. In spite of such initiatives there remains a sense of unease regarding the spiritual status of persons with a disability and, in particular, those with an intellectual disability. A field research study addressed the specific issue of the portrayal of disability in the Bible. Given that for many, the Bible is a significant reference source, and for some, literally conveying the word of God, it is a matter for some concern that a majority of Biblical references to disability were perceived as being unfavourable. Calls for a theology of disability are countered by a preference to find a place for disability in an inclusive theology. An acceptance of disability as an integral part of the human state has been supported by reflections on image Dei leading to the concept of a Disabled God. A long-standing scholastic tradition in the church has begun to respond to the influence which may be exerted by non-verbal, nonrational symbolism. That such means of communication may have an influence on the spiritual lives of people with an intellectual disability, is no more evident than in participation in the sacraments, more particularly in the Eucharist. A field research project focussed on possible modifications to the Eucharist such that participation by persons with an intellectual disability may be enhanced. Through omission of content, together with substantial editing and rewarding, a service order was developed with the text supported by auditory, sensory and symbolic input. For persons with a profound intellectual disability, their presence and participation in the Eucharist epitomizes the hope of their spiritual journey.
