Abstract

Background: This study compared anxiety and depressive problems in adolescents with a mild to borderline intellectual disability in a residential treatment facility (MBID-RT) to those in the general community (MBID-GC).

Method: Participants (N = 923, aged 11.9-19.3 years, M = 14.6 years, SD = 1.51, 42% girls) completed measures on anxiety and depressive problems. Part of this group (n = 155) participated twice, roughly 1 year apart.

Results: Adolescents in the MBID-RT subgroup reported statistically more anxiety and depressive problems (higher average scores, higher percentages above cut-off scores and higher percentage of comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms). Over a 1-year period, anxiety and depressive symptoms decreased in the MBID-GC subgroup but not in the MBID-RT subgroup.

Conclusions: Findings call attention to the high prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in adolescents with MBID in general, and those in residential treatment in particular, especially when externalising problems may be on the foreground.

轻度至边缘性智力障碍青少年住院治疗内外焦虑抑郁症状的患病率及病程

背景：本研究比较了居住治疗机构（MBID-RT）和普通社区（MBID-GC）中轻度至边缘性智力残疾青少年的焦虑和抑郁问题。方法：参与者（N = 923，年龄11.9 ~ 19.3岁，M = 14.6岁，SD = 1.51, 42%为女孩）完成焦虑和抑郁问题的测量。该组的一部分（n = 155）参加了两次，大约间隔1年。结果：MBID-RT亚组的青少年报告了统计学上更多的焦虑和抑郁问题（更高的平均得分，高于临界值的百分比和更高的共病焦虑和抑郁症状百分比）。在1年的时间里，MBID-GC亚组的焦虑和抑郁症状有所减轻，而MBID-RT亚组则没有。结论：研究结果引起了人们对MBID青少年焦虑和抑郁症状普遍存在的关注，特别是那些接受住院治疗的青少年，特别是当外化问题可能出现在前景中时。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intellectual Disability Research is devoted exclusively to the scientific study of intellectual disability and publishes papers reporting original observations in this field. The subject matter is broad and includes, but is not restricted to, findings from biological, educational, genetic, medical, psychiatric, psychological and sociological studies, and ethical, philosophical, and legal contributions that increase knowledge on the treatment and prevention of intellectual disability and of associated impairments and disabilities, and/or inform public policy and practice. Expert reviews on themes in which recent research has produced notable advances will be included. Such reviews will normally be by invitation.
