Abstract

The study examines the structure and characteristics of self-determination of people with intellectual disabilities in residential facilities, based on the reports of their direct care staff. The study analyzes the relationship between five domains of self-determination and some characteristics of the residents. The validity of the data received from the proxy respondents is also examined. A survey was conducted by mail with the direct care staff of facilities affiliated with the Osaka Association of Intellectual Disabilities. Information was collected regarding 693 residents of the facilities. The response rate to the survey was 71.7%. Factor analysis identifies five domains related to self-determination. Correlational analysis indicated that age is positively correlated with most of the five identified domains, and that the level of disability is positively correlated with all of the domains. However, length of stay was found to be negatively related to the performance of activities of daily living and also to going out with and visits by friends and acquaintances.
