Résumé
Background: Our qualitative study evaluated the following two questions: For what needs do adults with
intellectual disabilities consult a primary care outpatient treatment at a psychiatry department? How have hospitalization
rates and experiences evolved for this population over the last 20 years? Method: We explored the occurrence and
topographies of SBP across different severity levels of ID to inform clinical practice. We then quantified the number of
hospitalizations. Results: Aggressive-type behaviours were the most frequent. Our study showed that 23% of our sample
didn’t have any serious behavioural problems but did have psychiatric comorbidities and ambulatory care helped to
prevent the need for inpatient hospital admission. Conclusion: We attribute the decrease in hospitalisations to the
creation of our department of outpatient psychiatric care specialized in the field of ID. This is why improving primary
care services is vital in order to create equal treatment.
