“…The instrument is divided into 13 subscales, although our study focused on anxiety, mood disorder (depression), and organic syndromes. For this study, the frequency of occurrence of the main symptoms of these disorders was taken into account, ensuring that this measure identified change at each time period of readministration [ 41 ]. This scale has been completed by all participants.…”

Background: The impact of the COVID-19 on the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities (PID) has been little studied. Methods: We analyzed its impact with a cohort study quantitatively analyzing anxiety, depression, organic symptoms, quality of life, and support needs in 24 PID, aged 19–74 years (x¯ 40, σ = 13.09), living in a residential center, before, during, and after the pandemic. Results: Their mental health improved unexpectedly at the onset of the lockdown although there was an increase in organic symptoms. But, with the progress of the lockdown, their mental health deteriorated drastically. On the contrary, as expected, their quality of life and support needs worsened from the beginning of the lockdown until the country returned to normality, a time when there was a general recovery, without reaching pre-pandemic levels. These results show that the mental health of PID was affected differently to that of people without intellectual disabilities.

“…It has to be administered by professionals or family members who have close contact with the users; second, the Mini PAS-ADD, a scale targeted at detecting symptoms and the formulation of guide diagnoses; and third, the PAS-ADD interview, a semi-structured interview to be administered by clinical psychiatrists or psychologists with training in ID-related psychiatry. The Spanish version of the Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped scale (DASH-II) was used to assess psychiatric disorders in the population with severe/profound ID (Vargas-Vargas et al, 2014), and is an observational scale consisting of 96 items to diagnose psychiatric disorders based on the criteria of the DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). This scale has to be administered to the individuals by their caregivers or family members.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the relation between quality of life (QoL), mental illness, challenging behaviour and institutionalisation in an adult population with intellectual disabilities (ID). Design/methodology/approach The study assessed the QoL and its conditioning factors in 142 subjects with different degrees of ID. The GENCAT and Quality of Life in Late Stage Dementia scale were used to evaluate QoL, the Psychiatric Assessment Schedule for Adults with Developmental Disability and Diagnostic Assessment for the Severely Handicapped-II scale to assess mental illness and the Inventory for Client and aetiology Planning scale to assess challenging behaviour. Findings Individuals who live in residential care homes were found to have significantly impaired QoL (<0.001). Individuals with challenging behaviour presented significantly lower QoL, regardless of ID aethiology and degree, while psychiatric disorders did not seem to have a direct influence on individual QoL. Originality/value This paper provides new insight into the importance of challenging behaviour and psychiatric disorders in the QoL of individuals with ID.
