Abstract:
Due to improvements in healthcare and the standard of living advancing, the life expectancy of people with intellectual disabilities (ID) has increased, with a greater number of people with ID now included among the ageing population. The aim of this review was to understand how social work practice can facilitate a dignified dying experience for this group of people. Six academic databases were searched with thematic analysis of included articles. The review included empirical qualitative, quantitative, mixed method studies as well as literature reviews, conceptual articles, and grey literature. Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria, and four themes were identified.
