Academic Scientific JournalsIn search of the patterns and indicators of quality of life among people with intellectual disability. Review of theoretical approaches and selected empirical studies
Keywords:
intellectual disabilities, quality of lifeAbstract
This article presents the theoretical framework of the current concept of the construct of quality of life as it pertains to persons with intellectual disabilities. The multidimensionality of the concept of quality of life causes that uniform, “generally accepted”, definition has not been developed. However, there are common theoretical reference points: the concept of well-being, theory of needs and theory of development tasks. Research on the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities has identified eight key, cultural sensitive domains of quality of life. These domains are included in three overarching areas of quality of life: independence, participation in society and well-being. Its subjective indicators have been selected for each domain. This model should be used in designing activities to improve the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities at the level of public policies as well as assistance and suport practices.
