    Att förstå och uppleva hälsa - En kvalitativ studie av personer med lindrig intellektuell funktionsnedsättning2011Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Objective: This study aims to investigate how adults with mild intellectual disabilities describe their understanding and experience of health. How do they describe the concept of health themselves and how do they then see their health in perspective in their everyday lives? There is also even an interest in being able to describe both the positive and the negative factors which affect their experience of health. Issues: • What does health mean for adults with mild intellectual disabilities? • Is there anything that they consider important in order to feel well? • Have they learned something that they themselves are able to do in order to feel well? Method: The qualitative approach is the main method, and the phenomenological way of thinking has been used. Giving individual interviews is the main method of collection. The study is based on ten interviews with people who have mild intellectual disabilities. Respondents are from two different groups. One group is called mothers of adult rehabilitation and the other young adults in daily activities. Results: The study describes what people with mild intellectual disabilities understand to be the concept of health; what they consider to be important in order to feel well; what they identified as negative health reasons while, at the same time, trying to live a more healthy life. The results of the studies are consistent with part of previous research concerning this particular group which show that health arises from interaction between the individual and his environment. The study also shows that it is meaningful with different contributions that can increase knowledge and influence the behaviors of people with intellectual disabilities. While it is encouraging to continue the education that is already in use for this group, for example in the FUB (Association for children, youth and adults with developmental disabilities), it can be good also to begin more new projects to both draw attention to the group and to reinforce the individual's self-esteem and confidence that contribute to greater participation ability.
