Materials and methods. This study adopted a mixed method. The participants involved in this study were students with disabilities who came from two special schools students with disabilities in Karawang Regency, Indonesia (n=40). Participants were divided into an experimental group who carried out a movement game program (n=20) and a control group (n=20) who followed routine learning without participating in any activities. After implementing the movement game program, 20 participants were interviewed about the experiences, advantages and disadvantages of the movement game program. Quantitative research instruments used muscular strength, muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory fitness tests. Meanwhile, the qualitative research instrument used in-depth interviews for 30 minutes. Analysis of quantitative data used IBM SPSS, and analysis of qualitative data used thematic analysis. Results. The quantitative study results showed that there was a significant increase in the level of physical fitness and mental health in the experimental group (p<0.05), and no increase was found in the control group (p>0.05). In addition, the qualitative study results showed that the majority of participants acknowledged that the movement game program was a fun method of education and had a positive effectiveness.

“…3,4 A lack of high-quality research on appropriate (mental health) care for this specific patient group contributes to this health disparity. 5 There are several reasons for concern regarding the quality of care for patients with a combination of MID and mental health disorders in mental health services. First, either the MID or the mental health disorder may often be missed when symptoms are attributed exclusively to either of these specific disorders despite both states being present, so-called diagnostic overshadowing.…”

This also applies to those patients whose MID is potentially missed, and whose specific needs are thus a blind spot for mental health service professionals.…”

Background Adults with mild intellectual disability (MID) experience more mental health disorders than the general population. However, mental healthcare may be insufficiently tailored to match their needs. Detailed information is lacking regarding care provided to people with MID in mental health services. Aims To compare mental health disorders and care provided to patients with and without MID in Dutch mental health services, including patients with missing MID status in the service files. Method In this population-based database study, we used a Statistics Netherlands mental health service database, containing health insurance claims of patients who utilised advanced mental health services in 2015–2017. Patients with MID were identified by linking this database with Statistic Netherlands’ social services and long-term care databases. Results We identified 7596 patients with MID, of whom 60.6% had no intellectual disability registration in the service files. Compared with patients without intellectual disability (n = 329 864), they had different profiles of mental health disorders. They received fewer diagnostic (odds ratio 0.71, 95% CI 0.67–0.75) and treatment activities (odds ratio 0.56, 95% CI 0.53–0.59), and required more interprofessional consultations outside of the service (odds ratio 2.06, 95% CI 1.97–2.16), crisis interventions (odds ratio 2.00, 95% CI 1.90–2.10) and mental health-related hospital admissions (odds ratio 1.72, 95% CI 1.63–1.82). Conclusions Patients with MID in mental health services have different profiles of mental health disorders and care than patients without intellectual disability. In particular, fewer diagnostics and treatments are provided, especially in those with MID with no intellectual disability registration, putting patients with MID at risk of undertreatment and poorer mental health outcomes.
