Abstract

Background

The aim of this feasibility study was to adapt and model a behavioural intervention for anxiety with autistic adults with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities.

Method

Twenty-eight autistic adults with moderate or severe intellectual disabilities, 37 carers, and 40 therapists took part in this single-group non-randomised feasibility study designed to test intervention feasibility and acceptability, outcome measures, and research processes.

Results

The intervention was judged as feasible and acceptable by autistic adults with intellectual disabilities, carers, and therapists. Minor intervention revisions were suggested. Carers completed 100% of outcome measures and the missing data rate was low. Complying with legislation governing the inclusion of participants who lack capacity to decide whether they wanted to take part in this study led to an average 5-week enrolment delay.

Conclusion

The intervention and associated study processes were judged to be feasible and acceptable and should now be tested within a larger randomised trial.

自闭症和中重度智障成人焦虑症的行为干预治疗：BEAMS-ID 可行性研究。

背景本可行性研究的目的是对针对中度至重度智障自闭症成人焦虑症的行为干预进行调整和建模：28名患有中度或重度智障的成年自闭症患者、37名照护者和40名治疗师参加了这项单组非随机可行性研究，旨在测试干预措施的可行性和可接受性、结果测量和研究过程：结果：成年自闭症智障人士、照护者和治疗师均认为干预措施可行且可接受。建议对干预措施稍作修改。照护者100%完成了结果测量，数据缺失率很低。根据相关法律规定，如果参与者没有能力决定是否参加本研究，则平均需要延迟5周才能加入：干预措施和相关研究过程被认为是可行和可接受的，现在应该在更大规模的随机试验中进行测试。
