“…Regarding the 18 RSE programmes that could not ensure sample randomness, the majority had a control group (n = 7%) and five proposed a single-group design. Four programmes collected pre-postintervention data, but only two of them took multiple measures at both time points (Chou et al, 2020;Graff et al, 2018).…”

BackgroundSpecial attention is required when considering any educational intervention aimed at its promotion and development. Our objective is to conduct an umbrella review of systematic reviews that gather evidence from relationships and sex education programmes tailored for individuals with intellectual disabilities.MethodsThe protocol was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analyses Protocol. Systematic reviews were identified through a search in Web of Science, SCOPUS and PsychINFO, using the descriptors: ‘intellectual disab*’ AND ‘sex*’AND ‘systematic’.FindingsThe results of the nine reviews included in the meta‐review yield relevant outcomes related to 50 sex education interventions carried out with people with intellectual disabilities. This provided the opportunity to delve into the characteristics of these interventions to ascertain the accomplishments achieved to date.ConclusionsThe findings serve as foundation to propose and promote new research on this important area of life, addressing the inequalities identified concerning the sexuality and affective‐sexual education of people with intellectual disabilities. It offers valuable information for the educational, social and healthcare fields, facilitating the design of more effective and rights‐respecting initiatives.

“…Por estos motivos es necesario desarrollar programas de educación afectivosexual adaptados a las diferentes características/necesidades derivadas de los distintos niveles de autonomía que muestran las personas de este colectivo. Estos programas deben presentar un enfoque positivo de la sexualidad que contribuya al desarrollo óptimo de la sexualidad en las PDI (Chou, Jane, Chen y Lin, 2019;O'Shea y Despott, 2018). Estas iniciativas deben presentar los conceptos de forma explícita y no fragmentada, inconsistente ajustándose al nivel apropiado para facilitar el correcto procesamiento de la información (Forrai, 2020).…”

Un aspecto esencial para garantizar la calidad de vida en las personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (PDI) es la salud sexual. Pese a que en los últimos años se ha aumentado la atención en esta cuestión, es determinante conocer si existen prejuicios que pueden afectar al desarrollo saludable. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido comparar las actitudes hacia la sexualidad de las PDI que tienen ellas mismas con las que tiene la población general (PPG). Para ello un total de 100 PDI (50% hombres y 50% mujeres), de 19 a 55 años completaron la Escala de Percepción Sexual, y 454 PPG (39.4% hombres y 60.6% mujeres), de entre 20-82 años completaron la Escala de Actitudes para la Sexualidad en Personas con Discapacidad Intelectual (ASEXDI). El 71.1% de las PPG presenta unas actitudes moderadas hacia la sexualidad de las PDI, el 18.7%, actitudes liberales y 10.1% conservadoras. Ambos grupos difieren en la tolerancia a las caricias siendo superior en el grupo de PPG (68.28% lo considera muy aceptable, frente al 22.78% de las PDI). Por el contrario, las relaciones sexuales con penetración entre PDI están ligeramente mejor valoradas por las PDI que entre la PG, aunque en ambos casos son actitudes conservadoras (el 15% de las PDI lo considera nada aceptable en absoluto, frente al 37.89% de la PG). Sin embargo, la PG tiendeaconsiderar deforma más positivalascompetencias delas PDI parael uso correcto del preservativo. Los resultados permiten concluir que la PG muestra una tolerancia moderada hacia la expresión de la sexualidad de este colectivo, con la excepción de la práctica de penetración hacia la que muestran cierta prevención. La actitud positiva de los PDI hacia esta práctica unida a su baja percepción de competencia en el uso del preservativo justifica la necesidad de programas de educación afectivo-sexual adaptados.

“…It is worth highlighting the need for instruments that allow for a measurement that focuses on women with intellectual disabilities and their sexuality [ 19 ]. One of the most valuable functions of a scale is the approach to prevention and decision-making, as well as its efficiency in identifying attitudes and behaviors that can be used to make decisions [ 20 ].…”

Background: The main aim of this study was to design and validate a questionnaire in Spanish to acknowledge the perception of the sexuality of women with intellectual disabilities. We sought to cover specific spheres of sexuality, such as sexual capacity, decision-making capacity, sexual disinhibition, and sexual education and quality of life. Methods: A questionnaire was developed based on a literature review. Validation was performed using content validation through a panel of experts; construct validation was performed using exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses; reliability tests were also performed, using Cronbach’s Alpha and the two-halves test. Results: Two-hundred forty-four participants pilot tested the initial 34-item questionnaire. After content validation and exploratory factorial analysis, the resulting 10-item questionnaire showed four domains, with Cronbach’s Alpha values between 0.69 and 0.82. Confirmatory factorial analysis confirmed the domains, and the model’s goodness-of-fit tests were adequate. Conclusions. The final ten-item scale developed in this research proved to be a valid and reliable instrument, as it has good psychometric properties of both validity and reliability. Thus, researchers interested in investigating the social perception of the sexuality of women with intellectual disabilities can use this tool. Future research can extend the validity of this scale to other languages and settings.
