Treatment Outcomes from Forensic Intellectual Disability Services: The Perspectives of Patients and Their Family/Carers
Chester, Verity; Geach, Nicole; Morrissey, Catrin
Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, v23 n4 p473-485 Dec 2019
Introduction: Research investigating the treatment outcomes of forensic intellectual and developmental disability (FIDD) services has largely focused on the perspectives of clinicians and researchers. This study sought the perspectives of patients and family/carers on the outcomes important to them. Methods: Semi-structured consultation groups were conducted with patients in FIDD services (n = 21) and family carers (n = 6). Interview data were content analysed, and outcomes identified fell into three main domains (effectiveness, safety and patient experience). Results: The consultations identified outcome domains not considered in the published literature. Patients and carers also had differential perspectives on treatment outcomes commonly reported within literature. Illustrative quotes are used to evidence the domains. Discussion: This study is the first to investigate the outcomes of relevance to patients and their families. These views have been incorporated into an outcomes framework which will form the foundation of future prospective outcome studies.
