The Application of a Positive Behaviour Support Model for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities: A Pioneering Study in Hong Kong
Phyllis K S Wong Department of Social Work, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong |
Abstract
| Background: Positive behaviour support (PBS) is increasingly viewed as the preferred service approach for people with intellectual disabilities (IDs); however, many services settings may not have equipped their frontline workers with practice skills in this field in Hong Kong. This study is a first attempt to systematically apply the PBS model to ID adult services, with the aims of providing training to staff members on the knowledge and skills in applying the PBS model and in alleviating the challenging behaviours of service user participants with IDs. Methods: A single-system research design was adopted to measure the alleviation of challenging behaviour. In total, 18 service user participants were involved in individual tailor-made interventions. Meanwhile, a pretestposttest design was adopted to measure the staff changes. A total of 18 social workers participated. Results: The challenging behaviours of seven service users were improved. Participating social workers’ competencies in managing challenging behaviour were also enhanced. Discussion: Reflections on the practice and recommendations will be discussed. |

Abstract
| This study aims to evaluate the outcome of Integrated Community Centre for Mental Wellness (ICCMW) services of the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong (MHAHK) in terms of clinical and personal recovery. 78 service users from 3 ICCMWs were recruited. In the first part of the study, the pretestposttest quasi-experimental approach was used to explore the participants’progress on clinical and personal recovery. In the second part, a qualitative study was conducted to explore the factors that are important to the clinical and personal recovery of ICCMW service users. Significant improvement in post-test scores on both clinical and personal recovery measures were found. The qualitative study identified five themes that were important to the participants’ clinical and personal recovery, including home-likeness, recovery coaching, empathetic understanding, social support and social relationships, and assertive engagement. The results provided preliminary evidence on supporting resource allocation to ICCMW services and a further step towards evidence-based practice. They also provided valuable reference to the development of built-in mechanism in ongoing monitoring of outcome of the services. |

政府現時營運或資助的各類殘疾人士就業支援服務不足及欠缺延續性，加上服務並沒有針對僱主提供支援，影響殘疾人士就業穩定性，僱主對聘用殘疾人士的各種憂慮亦未能釋除。針對以上的不足，香港心理衞生會訓練及就業服務中心於2016年開展「友約會就業支援先導計劃」(下稱：「此計劃」)。此研究主要透過問卷調查、聚焦小組及訪談，向參與過此計劃的殘疾人士、企業單位及企業員工，了解此計劃的成效，以及殘疾人士在就業上和企業在聘用殘疾人士上的需要，從而為探討優化現時就業支援服務的可行辦法。研究結果反映此計劃的功效，同時揭示了殘疾人士及僱主的需要。 |
Abstract
| Study on Vocational Support Service Needs of Persons with Disabilities in Hong Kong and Evaluation on the Pilot Scheme on Vocational Support for Persons with Disabilities The employment support services currently provided by the Hong Kong Government for persons with disabilities (PWDs) are inadequate and lack continuity. Moreover, the lack of supportive service to the employers leads to instability employment of PWDs and reveals the reason for the unwillingness and hesitation of the employers to hire PWDs. To combat the problem, the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong launched the “Pilot Scheme on Vocational Support for Persons with Disability” (hereinafter referred to as “the Scheme”) in 2016. A mixed methods approach was used in this research, data were obtained via questionnaire, focus group and face-to-face interviews. The study gives an overview of the current employment situation of PWDs, provides a brief introduction of their needs in employment, and evaluates the effectiveness of the Scheme. |
