Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Currently in Japan, there is almost no method of evaluating the mental health for adults with intellectual disabilities. The aims of this study were to develop a questionnaire for adults with intellectual disabilities and to find various changes by a longitudinal study. I investigated the mental health of workers with intellectual disabilities by the Mood, Interest and Pleasure Questionnaire which was translated into Japanese (MIPQ-J) . The MIPQ-J relies on proxy not self-reports but reply from support staff. Participants who decrease score in MIPQ-J consistented with information about depression from support staff. The result suggest that MIPQ-J would be a useful tool for the assessment of the mental health of adults with intellectual disabilities. I suggest that using the MIPQ-J is effective for planning vocational supports for adults with intellectual disabilities.
