“…Moreover, as noted in both Power (2008) and Chou et al (2008), Western countries strongly favour the deinstitutionalisation of adults with ID, where the provision of support to live in their own homes within the community has become a mainstream policy. Despite this trend, the number of people with intellectual (and other) disabilities receiving institutional care and services in Taiwan is still on the rise (Yen et al 2009).…”

The finding that the proportion of adults with ID and no social exclusion has risen from 18.1% in 2003 to 20.4% in 2006 represents an encouraging trend. However, there has been a marked increase in the proportion of the subjects with more categories of social exclusion, particularly with regard to those who have to endure all three categories, from 0.2% in 2003, to 1.1% in 2006. This implies that, at the time of the last survey, there was still considerable room for improvement in the social inclusion of adults with ID in Taiwan.

“…The caregiving provided to individuals with an ID is multifaceted and long term [ 22 ]. Research indicates that gender inequalities, old age, lack of companionship, and low socioeconomic status increase the risk of requiring long-term care [ 23 , 24 ]. Common challenges in long-term care include physical function, cognition, mental health, associated harms (e.g., accidents, abuse, and neglect), peer victimization (PV), implementation of acute care, mortality, and expenditures [ 25 , 26 ].…”

Caregiving for mental health among people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) in the ID services was reported as insufficient. The purposes of this study were to investigate five types of peer victimization (PV) experiences among adults with ID using ID services, and to gain a deeper understanding of the influence of PV experience on adults with ID’s long-term mental health status. A one-year longitudinal follow-up study was conducted from eight long-term care ID services (n = 176). Logistic regression analysis was applied to variables comprising personal characteristics, various types of PV experience and polyvictimization to predict period prevalence of psychiatric symptoms. The data indicated that nearly one-third of individuals with ID experienced at least one psychiatric symptom. The three most common psychiatric symptoms prevalent after one year were adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, and somatoform disorder. Over the 1-year study period, approximately 40% of adults with ID reported experiencing PV. The most frequently reported types of PV were physical force (26%) and verbal victimization (22%). Polyvictimization was experienced by approximately a quarter of adults with ID. The findings suggest that PV is a common experience among adults in ID services. Thus, for a clearer understanding of mental health risks, caregivers should pay attention to adults with ID who experienced PV.
