CHU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.275-280 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disability  Aging  Caregiver  Dementia  DSQIID Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract As life expectancy increases for persons with an intellectual disability, concerns have been raised that there will be an increased demand for health or social services, particularly to address the challenges posed by the problems of dementia. To plan services for people with an intellectual disability who might experience the consequences of aging, an important first step is to obtain epidemiological data on the prevalence of dementia in this vulnerable population. This study aimed to investigate the dementia prevalence rate and its associated demographical factors in adults with an intellectual disability in Taiwan. A national survey was conducted to recruit 460 community residents of at least 45 years of age with an intellectual disability. The Dementia Screening Questionnaire for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (DSQIID) was administered to caregivers to determine the symptoms of dementia in adults with an intellectual disability. The results indicated that 16.5% of the adults with an intellectual disability might have dementia conditions (DSQIID score ? 20). After controlling for other factors in a multiple logistic regression analysis, the older adults with intellectual disability (?55 vs. 45–54, OR = 2.594, 95% CI = 1.438–4.679) and those individuals with a comorbid diagnosis of mental illness or neurological disease (with vs. without, OR = 2.826, 95% CI = 1.593–5.012) had a higher risk of dementia than their counterparts. This study suggests that further longitudinal studies are needed to examine the specific aspects of the functions of living and morbidity that might be affected by aging and concomitant conditions in adults with an intellectual disability.

Self-reported awareness and coping behaviors of low back pain among institutional caregivers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated multiple disabilities / Shang-Wei HSU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 10 (February 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 10 (February 2015) . - p.22-29 Titre : Self-reported awareness and coping behaviors of low back pain among institutional caregivers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated multiple disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Shang-Wei HSU, Auteur ; Sheng-Fang SU, Auteur ; Lan-Ping LIN, Auteur ; Fu-Gong LIN, Auteur ; Cordia M. CHU, Auteur ; Chia-Ling WU, Auteur ; Jin-Ding LIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.22-29 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Intellectual disability  Autism  Low back pain  Awareness  Coping behavior  Perception Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study aimed to investigate the self-reported knowledge and coping behaviors for low back pain (LBP) among institutional caregivers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated multiple disabilities and to gather information about factors that affect these coping behaviors in the workplace. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to recruit 1073 caregivers (response rate of 89.5%) from 15 medium to large disability welfare institutions in this study. This study specifically developed a scale to examine objective (10 question items) and subjective knowledge (one question item) of LBP and its coping behaviors (10 question items). The mean score of objective knowledge of LBP was 7.15 (range of 0–10; over 70% correct). A total of 54.2% of respondents expressed that they had a low level of subjective knowledge of LBP, and 45.8% or respondents had a high level. The study also found that many objective knowledge items need to be improved in future health promotion initiatives regarding LBP. Without adjusting for other factors, the study indicated that those caregivers with more subjective LBP knowledge were more likely to adopt higher levels of LBP coping behaviors than their counterparts (OR = 1.536, 95% CI = 1.152–2.046). After adjusting for demographics, working conditions and health status factors, LBP knowledge was not statistically correlated with LBP coping behaviors. Caregivers who worked more days per week (OR = 1.984, 95% CI = 1.408–2.795), had break time on duty (OR = 2.457, 95% CI = 1.5–4.025), exercised regularly (OR = 1.594, 95% CI = 1.115–2.28), had poor health status (OR = 0.497, 95% CI = 0.249–0.995), or had a history of LBP (OR = 1.433, 95% CI = 1.008–2.039) were more likely to adopt higher levels of coping behaviors than their counterparts. This study highlights that institutional managers should pay attention to factors that influence LBP coping behaviors in caregivers, and future studies should examine the effects of the characteristics of care recipients and caregivers’ families on caregivers’ perception of LBP.
