McKeon, Michael (2009) A survey of clinical nursing skills in intellectual disability nursing. Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, 13 (1). pp. 31-41. ISSN 1744-6295
In this study the question asked is: what clinical nursing skills are predominantly used in intellectual disability nursing? A survey of the nursing needs of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability in both residential and community units was undertaken with a questionnaire.The measure was a Likert design scale ranging across: skills used more than once a day, skills used daily, skills used weekly, skills used monthly, skills very rarely used, and skills never used.The results of the study help to identify, plan, and direct the type and level of nursing skills taught to the intellectual disability nursing students and provides an insight into the current nursing skills used in the intellectual disabilities field.
