Abstract

BEHAVIOUR DISORDERS IN ADULT PERSONS

WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY LOCATED IN

A RESIDENTIAL CENTRE

People with intellectual disability (ID)

institutionalized usually have a high rate of

behavior disorders. In addition they usually

take psychotropics for a long time.

Objective:

Know the characteristics of behaviour di-

sorders in this population. As well as the

pharmacological treatments that are used.

Description of the study:

Epidemiological, naturalistic, observatio-

nal, prospective study over 3 months in a

group of patients with ID.

Population:

80 adult residents institutionalized in a

residential centre, diagnosed of Intellectual

Disability with behaviour disorders.

Material:

Sociodemographic, clinical and treatment

data. Scales: Global Assessment of Functio-

ning scale (GAF), Clinical Global Impression

scale (CGI) and Overt Agression Scale (OAS).

Method:

Statistics with the SPSS v. 15.0. Descrip-

tive statistics and correlation analysis were

performed.

Results:

53 women and 27 men. The average age is

50 years. 38.8% have moderate ID, 33.8%

mild, 25% severe and 2.5% unspecified.

They have an average of 4.68 in the CGI

scale, of 35.78 in the EEAG and of 7.10 in

the OAS scale.

32.1% of the residents presented verbal

aggressiveness, 13.8% self-aggression, 20%

aggressiveness towards objects and 23.9%

aggressiveness towards people, with an im-

portant degree of intensity.

Young residents present more aggressive

behaviour.

78.8% take antipsychotics, 63.8% benzo-

diazepines and 58.8% antiepileptic drugs.

Conclusions:

The population is characterized by serious

behaviour disorders with a low psychosocial

functioning. The degree of ID is related to

severity and functionality.

The prevalence of behaviour disorders is

high, is related to the clinical severity and

is higher in the youngest.

The use of psychotropic drugs is high and

is related to behaviour disorders.
