Staff Stress and Morale in Community‐Based Settings for People with Intellectual Disabilities and Challenging Behaviour: A Brief Report

Abstract: Background There are no studies that have compared outcomes for staff in different types of supported accommodation for people with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviour. This study looked at stress, morale and intended job turnover in staff in two types of community-based residential supports: non-congregate settings where the minority of residents have challenging behaviour; and congregate settings where the majority of residents have challenging behaviour.

Similarly the outcomes for employed full-time carers who work with individuals with challenging behaviour also need to be considered; over a quarter of full-time staff working with individuals with challenging behaviour met criteria for experiencing emotional distress (Robertson et al, 2005). The greatest perceived sources of stress were a lack of staff support and a lack of resources (Robertson et al, 2005).…”
