Summary
Adapted self-management interventions improve health outcomes for adults with intellectual disabilities. Caregiver support and tailored approaches are key to successful engagement and participation in healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Disability Studies
- Public Health
Background:
- Chronic health conditions necessitate effective self-management strategies.
- Adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) experience higher burdens of chronic illness.
- Barriers to accessing self-management support disproportionately affect individuals with ID.
Purpose of the Study:
- To map the existing literature on self-management interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities.
- To identify characteristics of effective self-management approaches in this population.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review methodology was utilized.
- A systematic three-step search strategy included databases, reference lists, and advocacy websites.
- Data synthesis focused on study design, intervention features, and reported outcomes.
Main Results:
- 38 articles from 34 studies focusing on adults with intellectual disabilities were included.
- Adapted self-management interventions demonstrated feasibility and positive health outcomes.
- Interventions incorporating caregiver support showed enhanced engagement and success.
Conclusions:
- Tailored self-management interventions are effective for adults with intellectual disabilities.
- Future research should explore long-term effects, caregiver-client models, and co-design approaches.
- Optimizing self-management support is crucial for improving health equity in the ID community.
