Abstract

ABSTRACT Background Issues of risk and safety can be challenging to discuss with forensic patients with an intellectual disability. Talking Mats is a visual communication tool that facilitates therapeutic conversations. Method A pilot study, adopting an ethnographic approach, was used to evaluate Talking Mats. Interviews and video observations were conducted with nurses and forensic patients with an intellectual disability from two forensic wards in Scotland. Results Exploratory evidence suggests that Talking Mats offers a non-biased platform to discuss potentially emotive issues around risk, safety, and wellbeing. Pre-existing notions of Talking Mats, staff availability, and the context of COVID-19 acted as barriers to adopting the visual communications tool. Conclusion There is value in further research regarding communication tools to facilitate input on care planning and risk management for patients with an intellectual disability.

评估一种视觉沟通工具，以探索智力残疾法医服务中护士和患者的风险和安全性:一项试点研究

背景:与智力残疾的法医患者讨论风险和安全问题是具有挑战性的。谈话垫是一个视觉交流工具，促进治疗对话。方法采用民族志方法进行初步研究，对说话垫进行评价。对来自苏格兰两个法医病房的护士和智力残疾法医患者进行了访谈和视频观察。探索性证据表明，“说话垫”提供了一个无偏见的平台，可以讨论有关风险、安全和健康的潜在情感问题。现有的谈话垫概念、工作人员可用性和COVID-19背景是采用视觉通信工具的障碍。结论沟通工具在智障患者的护理规划和风险管理中具有重要的应用价值。
