Abstract

Purpose This study aims to understand the experiences of professional paid carers providing community support to people with intellectual disability “at risk of admission”. This study explores factors that were helpful or lacking in terms of the support the carers received from NHS health services during this time. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted semi-structured interview with eight participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings Three main themes and ten subthemes were identified. The first main theme was “support systems” that were available or lacking for the client and their carers. The second main theme was “training and supervision” available to the carers and their team when the individual they supported needed additional support. The third theme was “change” clients encountered which included changes in the environment as well as changes because of COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study on experiences of carers during specifically high stress periods, such as when the clients they are supporting are at risk of hospital admission.

调查专业护理人员支持有入院风险的智障人士的经验-一项定性研究

目的本研究旨在了解专业带薪护理员为“有入院风险”的智障人士提供社区支援的经验。本研究探讨了在此期间护理人员从NHS保健服务中获得的支持有帮助或缺乏的因素。设计/方法/方法本研究对8名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。采用主题分析法对数据进行分析。研究结果确定了三个主题和十个副主题。第一个主题是“支持系统”，即客户及其护理人员可用或缺乏的支持系统。第二个主题是“培训和监督”，当他们所支持的个人需要额外的支持时，护理人员及其团队可以使用。第三个主题是客户遇到的“变化”，包括环境的变化以及COVID-19大流行带来的变化。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一次对护理人员在特别高压力时期的经历进行研究，比如当他们所支持的客户有住院的风险时。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
