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.

Personal and workplace factors for the risk of low back pain among institutional caregivers of people with intellectual, autistic or multiple disabilities / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-5 (May 2014)

A cross-sectional, purposive sampling method was used to recruit into the study 1073 staff who were working in 15 disability welfare institutions. The survey materials included an introduction letter, an informed consent, and a structured questionnaire that queried the participant's demographic and working characteristics, healthy lifestyle, and previous and current LBP experiences. The present study results showed that 63.2% of the participants reported that they had LBP in the previous year. Many factors of the participants’ demographic characteristics (gender, BMI, and marital status), working conditions (years of working experience, weekly work days, labor-oriented work, and direct care staff), and health status (exercise habit, perceived health status, previous and more recent medication experience of musculoskeletal discomfort) associated with LBP occurrence were analyzed in univariate Chi-square analyses. Finally, multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the factors of female gender (OR = 1.534, p = 0.039), being married (OR = 1.469, p = 0.027), being direct care staff (OR = 1.844, p = 0.025), having fair health status (OR = 1.518, p = 0.012), or previous (OR = 1.996, p 0.001) and more recent (OR = 2.744, p 0.001) medication experience of musculoskeletal discomfort were found to be more likely to have LBP than their counterparts. This study highlights that we should pay much closer attention to LBP risk factors and to plan necessary initiatives to avoid the progression of LBP in the workplace.

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)

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.

The interference of low back pain on everyday functions of life in care workers for persons with intellectual, autistic, and associated multiple disabilities: The Brief Pain Inventory short form (BPI-SF) survey / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 8-6 (June 2014)

The present study aimed to investigate the interference of low back pain with everyday functions of life in disability care workers, and to examine the influencing factors of the interference, such as workers’ demographic, lifestyle habits, self-reported health status, working conditions and previous pain experience. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale and Brief Pain Inventory – Short Form were used to identify the pain severity and life interference of 677 participants who had experienced low back pain conditions in the previous year. The results indicated that the mean score of the pain severity was 3.78 ± 1.82, 78.9% subjects experienced mild pain (score 2–4), 13.7% subjects experienced moderate pain, and 5.3% subjects experienced severe pain. More than twenty percent of the respondents reported that low back pain moderately or severely interfered with their daily functions. Many working conditions and pain experienced significantly correlated with the score of pain interference in the care workers after controlling for factors of healthy lifestyle and health status (R2 = 41.7%). These findings may garner attention from health welfare authorities and lead to improvements in health promotion initiatives to prevent low back pain from interfering with the daily activities of care workers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated disabilities.

Caregivers for patients with disabilities have a high LBP prevalence that requires attention in the public health system. This study aimed to understand the LBP disability outcomes and determinants of care workers for people with intellectual, autistic and associated multiple disabilities. Study subjects included 678 care workers in 15 disability institutions who reported that they had experienced acute or chronic nonspecific LBP in the previous year. The effects of the LBP outcome were measured by the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ), which is a self-rated assessment of pain-related disability used in this study. The mean score of the RDQ was 3.97 (range 0–24). Of the respondents, 14% expressed that they were free from pain disability (score = 0), 66.4% subjects expressed they had a little pain disability (score 1–6), 14.7% subjects reported that they were mildly affected by pain disability (score 7–12), 3.8% subjects reported that they were moderately affected by pain disability (score 13–18), and 1% reported they had severe pain disability (score 19–24). A multiple linear regression of the pain disability score revealed that those care workers who expressed that LBP affects their work and living (p lt; 0.001), had ever sought pain care (p = 0.008), with moderate (p = 0.001) and severe (p = 0.001) levels of LBP were significantly associated with a higher score of pain disability than their counterparts (R2 = 22.6%). This study suggests that a comprehensive assessment of pain disability and treatment strategies for LBP should be undertaken regarding the needs of care workers in disability sectors.
