Abstract
Background: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience inequitable health care and outcomes. Pre-licensure nursing programs do not adequately prepare student nurses to care for this population.
Purpose: To identify priorities for pre-licensure nursing curriculum content about nursing care for people with IDD.
Methods: A three-round, mixed-methods Delphi study, inclusively designed, was administered to nurses and people with IDD. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
Findings: A total of 16 nurses and 16 people with IDD participated in this study. At the end of the third survey round, consensus had been reached for 77% (10/13) of items under the category of person-centred care, 100% (6/6) of items about communication, 100% (5/5) of items about advocacy, 85.7% (6/7) of items about health and diagnoses, 100% (4/4) of items about collaboration, and 100% (3/3) of items about decision-making.
Conclusion: These findings provide nursing faculty with direction for action in IDD-inclusive nursing curriculum. Future studies are needed to explore teaching and learning methods for further implementation.

Résumé
Contexte : Les personnes avec des incapacités intellectuelles et développementales font l’expérience de soins et de résultats de santé inéquitables. Les programmes de formation en sciences infirmières menant à l’obtention du droit d’exercer la profession infirmière ne préparent pas adéquatement les étudiantes et étudiants à prendre soin de cette population.
Objectif : Identifier les priorités de contenu pour un programme d’études en sciences infirmières menant à l’obtention du droit d’exercer au sujet des soins à prodiguer aux personnes ayant des incapacités intellectuelles et développementales.
Méthodes : Une étude Delphi à méthodes mixtes en trois tours conçue pour favoriser l’inclusion a été menée auprès d’infirmières et infirmiers et de personnes ayant des incapacités intellectuelles et développementales. Les données ont été analysées en utilisant des statistiques descriptives et une analyse du contenu.
Résultats : Les participantes et participants à cette étude comprenaient 16 infirmières et infirmiers et 16 personnes ayant une incapacité intellectuelle ou développementale. À la fin du troisième tour de sondage, un consensus a émergé pour 77 % (10/13) des énoncés sous la catégorie des soins centrés sur la personne, 100 % (6/6) des énoncés au sujet de la communication, 100 % (5/5) des énoncés sur la défense des droits et intérêts, 85,7 % (6/7) des énoncés au sujet de la santé et des diagnostics, 100 % (4/4) des énoncés sur la collaboration et 100 % (3/3) des énoncés sur la prise de décisions.
Conclusion : Ces résultats fournissent aux membres du corps professoral des écoles de sciences infirmières des mesures à prendre dans les programmes d’études pour assurer l’inclusion des personnes ayant des incapacités intellectuelles et développementales. D’autres études sont nécessaires pour explorer des méthodes d’enseignement et d’apprentissage pour la poursuite de la mise en œuvre des mesures.
