The impact of a virtual wellness course for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the third year of COVID-19.
The current study examines how a virtual wellness intervention may improve health outcomes in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Thirty-six adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities participated in the wellness intervention. Outcome measures related to satisfaction, mental health, wellbeing, health behaviours and overall health were completed at three time points (pre, post and follow-up). Participants reported high levels of satisfaction and had significant improvements in outcomes related to mental health and wellbeing. Changes in sleep, sedentary behaviour and overall health were not reported, though qualitative evidence suggests that some changes were implemented. The study provides evidence to support the use of virtual interventions to address health concerns in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
期刊介绍:
The principal aim of the journal is to provide a medium for the exchange of best practice, knowledge and research between academic and professional disciplines from education, social and health settings to bring about advancement of services for people with intellectual disabilities. The idea of a practice-led journal is both exciting and timely. This journal serves as a medium for all those involved with people with intellectual disabilities to submit and publish papers on issues relevant to promoting services for people with intellectual disabilities.
