摘要：

BackgroundPositive interpersonal relationships have been found to enhance an individual's quality of life. However, people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) often have restricted social networks, and little is known about their views on close social relationships. The study aimed to explore how this group perceives and experiences close relationships. Materials and MethodsTen (6=men 4=women) PWID participated. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, and analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. ResultsThe results report on three of five themes drawn from a larger qualitative study: Relationships feeling safe and being useful'; Who's in charge?' and Struggling for an ordinary life'. ConclusionsClose relationships are valued and desired by PWID, but a variety of barriers inhibit their development and maintenance. This includes the failure of others to value, accept and appropriately support the independence and relationships of PWID. Potential ways of addressing these issues are discussed.
