dc.description.abstract | Background: This article reports on an evaluation of four family support programmes in Ireland
for families of people with a physical or an intellectual disability or autism. The focus of the evaluation,
which took place within a year of the programmes’ completion, was on establishing
whether the programmes had an impact on families’ capacity to effectively support their family
member. Method: A mixed-method design was used, which included a survey (n ¼ 38) and interviews
(n ¼ 19) with participating family members. Ethical approval for the study was given by the
relevant university ethics committee. Results: Findings suggest that participation in the programmes
enhanced knowledge, attitudes, and competencies of families and also impacted their
ability to advocate for their family member and to connect with the community. Discussion and
conclusions: Whilst outcomes were overwhelmingly positive, further follow-up would be
required to ascertain if sustained capacity building took place. | en |
