ObjectivesTo capture the extent and nature of intellectual disability nursing publications in Ireland.DesignScoping review using Arksey and O’Malley approach.Data sourcesSix databases (PsycINFO, CINAHL, Medline, Academic Search Complete, Scopus, Embase) were searched along with a web-based search of the eight academic institutions delivering intellectual disability nurse education in Ireland for publications indexed from the earliest available date to the 31 December 2020.Eligibility criteriaPublications by an academic, practitioner or student working in intellectual disability practice or education in Ireland relating to intellectual disability nursing, care or education.Data extraction and synthesisData pertaining to type of paper/design, authors (academic/professional/student), year, collaboration (national/international), topic/content area and title were extracted from each paper. Data were analysed by two authors using Colorafi and Evans content analysis steps where data was tabulated, and a narrative synthesis undertaken.ResultsThe reporting of the review is in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews Checklist. Database and web-based searching resulting 245 articles meeting the criteria for this review. Through content analysis the 245 articles were mapped onto six themes: supporting inclusion, future planning, aspects of health, interventions, education, professional development and research, and personal and professional accounts of caring.ConclusionsThis review highlights the extent and nature of intellectual disability publications by academic, practitioner or student working in intellectual disability nursing in Ireland together with opportunities for future growth and development. From the findings it is apparent that there is an ongoing need for intellectual disability nurses to define their role across the full trajectory of health provision and to make visible their role in person-family centred support, inclusion, and contributions in health education, health promotion and health management.

“…Currently, Ireland has CNS posts and four relate to intellectual disability and ageing and with the increasing profile of people with intellectual disability, the role of the CNS in the older person needs to be prioritised. The CNS has specific knowledge relating to specific health problems associated with this population group, the barriers they encounter in accessing care, their specific communication needs and liaise between specialist and generic services (Caples et al, 2010). However, given the current economic climate, the nonreplacement of staff and staff embargos, there may be little advancement in the provision of CNS posts.…”

The number of people with intellectual disability living into old age continues to increase. As one ages, generally, functional ability decreases and health issues increase, with recognising and responding to the health needs of the person with intellectual disability of great importance and the responsibility of the intellectual disability nurse. The nurse must review and adjust the way they deliver care to ageing people with intellectual disability, not only in terms of responding to their health needs but also through collaborative working within teams and other services. As Ireland has specifically trained nurses in intellectual disability, it has a prime opportunity to address the health needs and concerns of people with intdisability and actively advocate for how services develop and responds to the changing health needs of ageing people with intellectual disability.

People with intellectual disabilities are now living longer and as a consequence are likely to have greater physical and mental health needs compared to the general population. Nurses may have a crucial role to play in meeting such needs, although it is unclear whether nurses are prepared for this role. This review of the available literature found little evidence of nurses undertaking effective interventions in meeting the health needs of older people with intellectual disabilities in the UK and Ireland. Nurses have been alerted to the increase in numbers of older people with intellectual disabilities and offered some direction on their future role in this area. Most of the available literature is based mainly on informed opinion rather than research findings.
