Barriers and facilitators in health education for adults with intellectual disabilities--a qualitative study
2014
Overview
The aim of this study was to explore barriers and facilitators in the implementation of a health course for adults with mild or moderate intellectual disabilities. An inductive qualitative design was used. Data were collected from a health course conducted in 16 study groups with 83 participants in Stockholm, Sweden by unstructured observations in course sessions, a group discussion with course leaders and evaluation notes from the course leaders. The data were analysed by qualitative content analysis. Four categories were identified: (i) \"individual characteristics\", implying various needs, (ii) \"pedagogical strategies\" used to meet those needs, (iii) \"interaction within the course\", dealing with active and less active participation and (iv) \"structures\", including learning climate and organizing. The overarching theme \"creating an individualized supportive context\" describes the challenge of educating people with intellectual disabilities towards an empowered and well informed decision making regarding their own health. Therefore, there is a need for support not only within the course but also from the social and physical environment as well.
