abstract: 'PurposeLockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic may have had a
disproportionate impact on the daily lives of people with intellectual
disabilities. Many of them had to deal with limited social contacts for
an extended period. This study explores in depth how people with
intellectual disabilities in the Netherlands experienced their daily
lives, in particular due to lack of access to regular work
activities.Materials and methodsEight participants with intellectual
disabilities were interviewed. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
(IPA) was employed in conducting and analysing interviews.Results and
conclusionsAnalysis yielded three overarching themes that are
conceptually linked. Participants experienced a prolonged lack of social
connections that resulted in experiences of social isolation and
feelings of loneliness. This led to different kinds of struggles: either
internal struggles involving negative thoughts or depressive feelings,
or a perceived threat to their autonomous position in society. Meanwhile
participants had to sustain their sense of self-worth in the absence of
work activities. The findings emphasise the importance of social
opportunities through the access to work activities for people with
intellectual disabilities. Interventions are suggested to help reverse
the increased social inequalities and enhance rehabilitation via work
activities for people with intellectual disabilities.IMPLICATIONS FOR
REHABLITATIONMore awareness may be raised among authorities, employers
and the general public about the significant value people with
intellectual disabilities attribute to meaningful social connections, in
particular through work activities.Also, more awareness may be raised
about the potential adverse effects of the loss of work activities and
social connections on the quality of life of people with intellectual
disabilities.Providing social support to others may help people with
intellectual disabilities to construct social valued roles, either in or
outside the work situation.Professionals and employers can support
people with intellectual disabilities to find opportunities to provide
social support to others.It is important to invest in sustainable and
innovative post-pandemic community participation initiatives and
particularly in accessible post-pandemic employment support, for example
by organising paid in-company training placements.It is essential that
professionals support people with intellectual disabilities to enhance
their sources of resilience and coping strategies, that may have
diminished as a result of the pandemic.'
