Abstract

Background: Adults with Down syndrome have demonstrated lower rates of community participation, which is known to reflect a poorer quality of life. This cross-sectional study used survey data completed by 27 care partners of adults with Down syndrome to understand if lower community participation was associated with a recent decreased independence in activities of daily living.

Method: Decreased independence in activities of daily living were examined using the NTG-Early Detection Screen for Dementia. The frequency of participation was reported using the Guernsey Community Participation and Leisure Assessment.

Results: All changes in activities of daily living showed statistically significant associations with lower participation. Decreased independence in dressing was most strongly associated with a lower frequency of visiting museums (ρ=-0.533, p = .006).

Conclusions: Decreased independence in activities of daily living may be useful clinical indicators of lower community participation.

唐氏综合症成人日常生活功能改变与社区参与度降低相关

背景：患有唐氏综合症的成年人社区参与率较低，这反映了较差的生活质量。这项横断面研究使用了27名唐氏综合症成人护理伙伴完成的调查数据，以了解较低的社区参与度是否与近期日常生活活动独立性下降有关。方法：使用ntg -痴呆早期检测筛查检查日常生活活动独立性下降。参与的频率是使用根西社区参与和休闲评估报告的。结果：所有日常生活活动的改变都与较低的参与率有统计学意义的关联。穿衣独立性下降与参观博物馆的频率较低密切相关（ρ=-0.533, p = 0.006）。结论：日常生活活动独立性下降可能是社区参与程度较低的有用临床指标。
