text: "BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) suffer from special
health problems and risks for diseases compared to the general population. Furthermore,
they often have complex care needs, limited health literacy and polypharmacy occurs
more frequently in their medication regimen. However, despite their special needs
they often have limited access to health services. \r\nPURPOSE: The aim of the
low-threshold intervention is that people with intellectual disabilities have,
understand and adherently follow a medication plan that is integrated into their
individual daily routine. This is intended to improve medication adherence and
the reduction of medication complexity.\r\nAPPROACH: The intervention consists
of 1) two outreach home visits to the client, 2) continuous telephone contact,
3) case conference with an external multiprofessional team, 4) case review with
the prescribing physicians. In close cooperation with the formal and informal
care system as well as the prescribing physicians, the APNs analyze and reflect
the different components of medication management and initiate changes to prescriptions
where appropriate. They offer patient education and counseling concerning health
literacy and medication adherence, and they actively involve the people with ID
and their social environment.\r\nRESULTS: The impact of the presented complex
intervention on medication adherence (primary outcome), medication complexity,
use of psychotropics and quality of life (secondary outcomes) is currently evaluated
in an RCT with N=202 in Germany. Furthermore, the evaluation design comprises
qualitative stakeholder interviews and an inclusive research approach. Initial
findings will be available mid-2020.\r\n\r\nLearning objectives:\r\nGet an impression
of APN roles in intellectual disability nursing\r\nLearn about necessary skills
and competencies APNs require for the presented interventions\r\nLearn about initial
findings of the evaluation\r\n"
