“…The DROS-SV consists of 26 items (such as problem awareness, taking responsibility, attitude towards professional help and coping skills) that can be scored from 1 (present to the highest extent) to 5 (not present at all). Reliability and validity of the full DROS are good (Delforterie et al 2018). In our study, Cronbach's α was 0.92.…”

BackgroundAssertive community treatment (ACT) and Flexible assertive community treatment (FACT) are organisation models for intensive assertive outreach that were originally developed for individuals with severe mental illness. The models are increasingly applied to people with mild intellectual disability (MID) or borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) and challenging behaviour or mental illness. Research on these types of care for this population is limited. To gain experience in FACT MID/BIF in the Netherlands and to obtain insight in its outcomes, four organisations specialised in the treatment of individuals with MID/BIF and challenging behaviour participated in a 6‐year implementation and research project.MethodsA longitudinal study was set up to investigate outcomes over time. Outcome measures concerned admissions to (mental) health care, social and psychological functioning, (risk of) challenging and criminal behaviour, social participation and client satisfaction. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and linear mixed models.ResultsOver time, clients showed improvement in their social and psychiatric functioning and living circumstances. The number of admissions to (mental) health care diminished as well as the number of contacts with police and justice, the level of social disturbance and the risk factors for challenging and criminal behaviour. Problems related to finances, work and substance abuse remained unchanged.ConclusionsThe results are encouraging and give rise to continued development of and broader research on FACT MID/BIF.

Background This study examined the psychometric properties of the Group Climate Instrument (GCI) in a sample of N = 189 adults (79% men) with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning who were residents of a treatment facility in the Netherlands. Method Construct validity of the GCI was examined by means of confirmatory factor analysis. Also, reliability and convergent validity of the GCI were examined. We also examined the variability in perception of the living group climate between and within living groups by computing intraclass correlation coefficients. Results The model contained four first‐order factors (support, growth, group atmosphere and repression) and a second‐order factor overall climate, providing preliminary support for construct validity of the GCI. Reliability coefficients were good for all factors. Preliminary evidence for convergent validity was found in significant moderate associations between subscales and single item ratings for the factors of group climate. The intraclass correlation coefficients indicated that a considerate proportion of variance can be attributed to between‐group differences. Conclusions The GCI might be used to assess perception of the living group climate for individuals with mild intellectual disability or borderline intellectual functioning in psychiatric and forensic care settings, although further development of the GCI and replication of our findings seem necessary.

A high number of aggressive incidents in secure forensic care are considered a serious problem, not only for clients but also for sociotherapists 1 as well (Robinson et al., 2018;Ros et al., 2013).According to the results of a study presented by one of the Dutch labour unions (CNV, Zorg & Welzijn, 2018) addressing aggressive incidents in Dutch health care for people with intellectual disabilities, more than 50% of the 640 caregivers experienced physical (70%) or verbal (79%) aggressive incidents in their work.About half (53%) reported an increase in aggressive incidents during the past year. These results are worrying given the range of negative consequences for victims, the aggressor and the organization in which aggressive incidents occur. Negative consequences for the victim can include psychological effects (e.g. anxiety, sleep disturbance, fear, anger and resentment) and physical injury (Knotter, 2019). Sociotherapists and clients may feel less safe in living groups where there are a high number of aggressive 1 Throughout this paper, the term 'sociotherapist' is used to describe the role of a professional caregiver.
