Service managers' experiences of how the participation of people with intellectual disabilities can be promoted in Swedish group homes.
Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities : JARID 2018 November 20
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities in staffed group homes often need lifelong support and dependency on others. Thereby, special demands are placed on staff and service managers to ensure opportunities for participation in everyday life. This study aims to explore how service managers promote participation in Swedish group homes for adults with intellectual disabilities.
METHOD: A qualitative research design involving individual interviews with 14 service managers was used to gain an understanding of how the participation of adults with intellectual disabilities can be promoted in Swedish group homes.
RESULTS: The results comprise two main themes; Creating preconditions for participation and Barriers for promotion of participation.
CONCLUSIONS: Service managers experienced that promoting service user participation in group homes was an important part of their responsibility. The findings indicate that structural strategies such as coaching, supervision and reflection are important and should be further developed.
