Abstract

People with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities face many barriers toward their sexual health. To promote sexual health and overcome these barriers, they need individualized forms of sexuality support and education. To align sexuality support and education insight is needed on their understanding of sexual health. The current paper aims to provide greater insight in what sexual health consists of according to people with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities. Nine people with a mild to borderline intellectual disability participated in a concept mapping procedure, consisting of brainstorming, sorting, and ranking the statements. The resulting clusters and concept map were interpreted by an expert group. Analysis resulted in five clusters which participants considered important for their sexual health. According to people with mild to borderline intellectual disability cluster pertaining to romantic relationships and sexual socialization were the most important. These were followed by clusters on sexual health and lastly sexual selfhood. These results have implications for the development of sexuality support and education, as well as further research.

使用概念图来探索轻度至边缘智力残疾者对性健康的看法。

轻度至边缘智力残疾的人在性健康方面面临许多障碍。为了促进性健康并克服这些障碍，他们需要个性化的性支持和教育形式。为了协调性支持和教育，需要对他们对性健康的理解进行深入了解。目前的论文旨在根据轻度至边缘智力残疾患者的情况，进一步了解性健康的构成。九名轻度至临界智力残疾的人参加了概念映射程序，包括头脑风暴、分类和对陈述进行排名。一个专家组对由此产生的集群和概念图进行了解释。分析结果分为五组，参与者认为这五组对他们的性健康很重要。根据轻度至边缘智力残疾的人的说法，与浪漫关系和性社会化有关的集群是最重要的。随后是关于性健康的集群，最后是性自我。这些结果对性支持和教育的发展以及进一步的研究都有启示。补充信息：在线版本包含补充材料，可访问10.1007/s11195-023-09796-w。
