Abstract

Background

Canadians with intellectual disabilities experience barriers in accessing federal government services and programmes. Evolving from established models of patient navigation, service navigation has emerged as a potential way to address systematic barriers.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted with a search strategy implemented across six databases, including APA PsycInfo, Medline, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and ProQuest Sociology Collection.

Results

One hundred and twelve studies were identified as relevant to the research question. Despite variance in terminology, definition, and practice, included studies affirm the need for navigational support and highlight the potential impact of support.

Conclusions

The included literature identifies navigation support as a promising practice to remove barriers and advance access to programs and services for people with intellectual disabilities. Additional study is needed to specify the impact related to accessing federal programs and services in a Canadian context.

使用导航服务改善智障人士节目的可及性检讨

加拿大智障人士在获得联邦政府服务和方案方面遇到障碍。从已建立的病人导航模式演变而来，服务导航已成为解决系统障碍的潜在途径。方法采用APA PsycInfo、Medline、CINAHL、Embase、Scopus和ProQuest社会学Collection等6个数据库进行检索。结果确定了与研究问题相关的112项研究。尽管在术语、定义和实践方面存在差异，但纳入的研究肯定了导航支持的必要性，并强调了支持的潜在影响。纳入的文献表明，导航支持是一种很有前途的做法，可以消除障碍，促进智障人士获得项目和服务。需要进一步的研究来具体说明在加拿大的背景下获得联邦项目和服务的影响。
