Abstract

Background

This study aimed to apply the COM-B model to understand the capabilities, opportunities, and motivations for walking behaviour among adults with intellectual disabilities.

Methods

A qualitative study was conducted with adults (≥ 18 years) with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities living in Greater Glasgow using one-to-one interviews (n = 12; women = 5) and a photo-elicitation activity followed by a focus group discussion (n = 5; women = 1). The framework approach to analysis allowed for the influences of walking to be mapped onto the COM-B model.

Results

Walking is a complex behaviour with many capabilities, opportunities and motivations to consider. Adults with intellectual disabilities were involved in making decisions about what results should be prioritised.

Conclusions

The COM-B model is a flexible framework that can be applied to understand health behaviours of adults with intellectual disabilities. It is imperative to work with adults with intellectual disabilities throughout the research process.

理解能力、机会和智力残疾成人步行体育活动动机：一项基于定性理论的研究

本研究旨在应用COM-B模型来了解智力残疾成人行走行为的能力、机会和动机。方法采用一对一访谈的方法对居住在大格拉斯哥地区的轻中度智力障碍成人（≥18岁）进行定性研究(n = 12；女性= 5)，然后是焦点小组讨论(n = 5；女性= 1)。框架分析方法允许将行走的影响映射到COM-B模型上。步行是一种复杂的行为，需要考虑许多能力、机会和动机。智力残疾的成年人也参与了决定应该优先考虑哪些结果的工作。结论COM-B模型是一个灵活的框架，可用于理解智力残疾成人的健康行为。在整个研究过程中，必须与智力残疾的成年人一起工作。
