ATTITUDINAL BARRIERS
Adults with learning disabilities are a marginalized group within society, and, unfortunately, this is reflected in attitudes expressed by professional health and social care staff. Shanley and Guest (1995) highlighted that adults with learning disabilities are stigmatized by adult nurses. Slevin and Sines (1996) reported that adult nurses showed an unenthusiastic attitude towards people with learning disabilities. This may be explained, in part, by their lack of exposure to adults with learning disabilities and that even in a ‘Common Foundation Program’ (CFP), the majority of content and teaching centered on adult nurses. It is possible, though, that even with a more balanced CFP and exposure to adults with learning disabilities in a short practice experience, these attitudes may still not change. Fitzsimmons and Barr (1997) identified a number of factors that could influence attitudes. These included: poor preparation and education and awareness of people with learning dis abilities; communication barriers; difficulties in dealing with their behavior; and limited understanding of what constitutes learning disabilities.
Other health and social care professionals may also have stigmatizing attitudes towards adults with learning disabilities which need to be challenged. This is evidenced by the report Facing the Facts (Department of Health 1999), which details that health professionals were ‘not in tune with the way that people with learning disabilities experience health interventions’. It is hoped that the strategies outlined by the Department of Health (2001a) will help to foster effective working relationships that will promote understanding and overcome stigmatization. Later we will highlight good practice initiatives that are being put in place to support adults with learning disabilities.
