Abstract
This study shows that although nurses and social workers positively appraise the quality of end-of-life care for people with intellectual disabilities, the majority feel inadequately trained to provide good end-of-life care. As the number of people with intellectual disability in need of end-of-life care grows, organizations need to offer additional relevant training and must give information about the availability of external expert consultation for nurses and social workers.
