BackgroundHealth care providers are often unfamiliar with the needs of women with disability. Moreover maternity and postnatal services may not be specifically tailored to the needs of women with disability and their families. We conducted a systematic review to determine the effectiveness of healthcare interventions to improve outcomes for pregnant and postnatal women with disability and for their families.MethodsStudies on pregnant and postnatal women with disability and their families which evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention using a design that met the criteria used by the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organization of Care group were eligible for inclusion in this review. A comprehensive search strategy was carried using eleven electronic databases. No restriction on date or language was applied. Included studies were assessed for quality and their results summarized and tabulated.ResultsOnly three studies fully met the inclusion criteria. All were published after 1990, and conducted as small single-centre randomized controlled trials. The studies were heterogeneous and not comparable. Therefore the main finding of this review was the lack of published research on the effectiveness of healthcare interventions to improve outcomes for pregnant women with disability and their families.ConclusionsMore research is required to evaluate healthcare interventions to improve outcomes for pregnant women with disability and their families.

Background There is a general agreement in the literature that no systematic correlation exists between parental intellectual disability per se and parenting performance. Yet, a few studies in the field of parents and parenting with intellectual disability have explored other potential determinants of parenting and child outcomes. In this study, we examined the relationship between maternal social support, psychological well‐being, parenting style, quality of the home environment and child problem behaviours. Materials and Methods The sample included 32 mothers recruited through agencies that offer services exclusively to persons with intellectual disabilities and their families, and each mother’s oldest child in the 2‐ to 13‐year age range. In a series of semi‐structured interviews, participating mothers completed a demographic and social support questionnaire, the SF‐36 (health measure), the Parenting Stress Index, the HOME Inventory and the Child Behavior Checklist. Parenting style was assessed using the Canadian National Longitudinal Study on Children and Youth parenting questionnaire. Results On an average, the participating mothers reported poorer physical and mental health compared with population norms. However, a few reported clinically significant levels of parenting stress. Overall, the target children did not have significant problem behaviours, but these were more common in older children. Main findings include a significant correlation between parenting stress, parenting style and perceived child problem behaviours. Conclusion Global assessment, including health status (mental and physical) and level of parenting stress, as well as everyday life and parenting skills is recommended as basis for designing individualized supports and services for mothers with intellectual disabilities.

Service Delivery to Parents with an Intellectual Disability: Family‐Centred or Professionally Centred?

Background Studies support the use of family-centred practices in service delivery to families where a parent has an intellectual disability. This paper examines the importance of such practices to parents. Materials and Methods Interview responses from 32 parents with intellectual disability were coded by two independent raters as reflecting family-centred or professionally centred practice. Responses reflecting family-centred practice were then coded as 'relational' or 'participatory' helpgiving. Results Service characteristics considered helpful by parents were more likely to be rated as family-centred practice than professionally centred practice. Family-centred practices considered helpful were more likely to be coded participatory than relational helpgiving. Conclusions The results support the conclusion that parents find family-centred practices more helpful than professionally centred practices, and participatory helpgiving more helpful than relational helpgiving. The findings are discussed in relation to the tendency for an 'implementation lag' in service delivery to families.
