简要总结
Falls can have a significant impact on the lives of adults with intellectual disabilities. The ACTION FALLS programme is a systematic falls management intervention that has been shown to be of benefit for older people however this programme in its current form needs to be adapted for use with adults with intellectual disabilities who have specific risk factors for falling and specific actions to reduce these risks. An adapted version of the programme to account for the different needs of adults with intellectual disabilities and the different services and support networks they access will be developed. A draft programme has been developed based on the views of adults with learning disabilities, carers and clinicians. This programme will now be tried out to see how easy it is to use. Adults with an intellectual disability, clinicians and carers will try out the programme and will be asked to give verbal feedback on their views on how easy it is to complete and what could be improved.
详细描述
The draft ACTION FALLS programme that will be used in this proof-of-concept study includes the following sections:
- Section One: A falls checklist, videos, and resource booklet for adults with an ID and carers.
- Section Two: A falls checklist for clinicians and a clinician manual for use in a clinical service.
Section one has been designed to be able to be used by adults with an ID and their carers independently of a clinical service. Additionally, section one could be used to support a clinical assessment in a clinical team to capture the views of adults with an ID. Section two has been designed to be used by a healthcare professional undertaking a more detailed assessment with adults with an ID.
There will be two components of work to explore views and acceptability of both the sections of the programme and how they work independently and together.
