“…One possible explanation is that the more intensive input may have led participants to make negative self-comparisons with mothers in the general population. Such social comparisons have been found to be associated with poor self-esteem (Dagnan and Sandhu, 1999) and the mothers in the present study certainly portrayed the additional input as disempowering, undermining of their sense of self-esteem and their role as mothers. This may also partly offer an explanation for why mothers appeared to prefer to turn to unhelpful informal supports for the care of their infant, in preference to seeking more intensive involvement from professionals.…”

A definitive versio n was subsequently published as: Design: A qualitative design was used and data were collected using a semi-structured interview format and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Setting:The study took place in community settings in Scotland.Participants: Six mothers with intellectual disabilities were interviewed about their experiences. Measurements and findings:Two super-ordinate themes are discussed with accompanying subthemes: challenges of providing support and how support was delivered. Key conclusions:The mothers valued formal postnatal care, but this was secondary to informal support. How mothers perceived the support impacted on its effectiveness and building effective relationships with professionals presented challenges. Implications for practice:The study suggests the structure and quality of the wider support networks of mothers with an intellectual disability are central and should be taken account of by professionals. Providing information and advice in ways that validates the mother's role is also important, particularly as the mother's perception of how help is given can impact on the degree to which mothers engage with professionals.

“…Dagnan and Sandhu (1999) investigated the relationship between social comparison, depression and self-esteem in individuals with disabilities. They found that total social comparison scores positively associated with total self-esteem scores and negatively associated with reported levels of depression (Dagnan and Sandhu 1999). Literature beyond the Dagnan and Sandhu study focused on self-esteem for those with physical disabilities (see Jemtå et al 2009;Manuel et al 2003;Miyahara and Piek 2006).…”

Adolescents with disabilities face many challenges common to their typically developing peers. However, the ways that they resolve them may differ. The focus of this narrative overview was to summarize results from the disabilities in adolescence literature, highlight common research directions, evaluate the overall big picture of this literature, and draw conclusions based on general interpretations. Evidence suggests that the literature in this field of study is lacking. Suggestions for improvement include increasing the number of studies that focus specifically on adolescence across the various types of disabilities, establishing a theoretical base to anchor research, forming cohesion across disabilities among researchers, and taking a comprehensive approach to intervention studies. By addressing these issues in future research, scholarly knowledge will be increased, but more importantly, the lives of young people with disabilities can be greatly enhanced.

Self-reported quality of life was assessed using the ComQoL-ID; 77 the scaling exercises that were administered at the baseline assessment (see Baseline measures, above) were omitted from follow-up assessments.…”

It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance.
