Self-esteem and its relationship with depression and anxiety in adults with intellectual disabilities: a systematic literature review
J. Y. Lee, M. Patel, K. Scior
doi : 10.1111/jir.13025
In the general population, low self-esteem has been linked with poorer mental and physical health. This systematic literature review aimed to summarise and evaluate the findings of studies that examined self-esteem in adults with intellectual disabilities and links with mental health outcomes.

N. J. Wilson, M. Barratt, M. Jorgensen, B. Limbu, M. Donley, M. Buchholtz, V. Smith, S. Deb (Shoumi)
doi : 10.1111/jir.13023
There is evidence that psychotropic medications are overprescribed and overused to manage behaviours of concern for people with intellectual disabilities. Disability support workers and support staff lack education and training on the administration and safety of psychotropic medication use.
Family carer and professional perceptions of the potential use of telehealth for behavioural support
S. R. L. Tomlinson, N. Gore, P. McGill
doi : 10.1111/jir.13026
Telehealth (i.e. the use of technology across distance) is widespread in many fields. Although its use for behavioural support for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD) is emerging, there are no known studies examining stakeholder perceptions of this.
Associations between physical fitness and cardiovascular disease in older adults with intellectual disabilities: Results of the Healthy Ageing and Intellectual Disability study
M. J. de Leeuw, A. Oppewal, R. G. Elbers, T. I. M. Hilgenkamp, P. J. E. Bindels, D. A. M. Maes-Festen
doi : 10.1111/jir.13027
Reduced physical fitness is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor in the general population. However, generalising these results to older adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) may be inappropriate given their pre-existing low physical fitness levels and high prevalence of co-morbidities. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the difference in physical fitness between older adults with ID with and without CVD.
Adult Independence Living Measurement Scale: Psychometric validation of a scale to estimate personal skills for independent living in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities
S. Zorzi, C. Dalmonego, L. P. De Vreese, T. Gomiero
doi : 10.1111/jir.13028
The United Nations has declared that people with disabilities should be enabled to live as independently as possible, since independence is correlated with a better quality of life. Consequently, services need to have common and validated measurement tools for the evaluation of the different levels of personal support needs in order to promote independent living skills.
Factors related to parenting styles of Chinese mothers of children with and without intellectual disability
H. Su, M. Cuskelly, L. Gilmore
doi : 10.1111/jir.13029
Parenting styles play a crucial role in children's development. However, approaches to parenting children with intellectual disability (ID) beyond Western cultures have been underexamined. This study compared the self-reported parenting styles of Chinese mothers of children with and without ID and examined some factors that might be related.
