註釋Introduction There is little evidence of the use of guided self-help as an intervention for people with intellectual disability. The Self-Assessment and INTervention, is a guided self-help tool designed specifically for this group. There are three linked studies within this thesis that aim to; [1] develop a guided self help intervention [2] test its reliability and validity and [3] pilot it in practice using a single case experimental design. Method The SAINT was developed using Delphi methodology and focus groups and has demonstrated good reliability and validity. The pilot was conducted in two parts; part 1 had 15 recruits to test the intervention, whilst part 2 (which aimed to replicate the findings over an extended period) had three recruits, including two from part 1. A Nurse visited each participant weekly to facilitate the intervention. Results Reliability testing was completed on 59 participants. The SAINT showed significant correlation at thep O.001 levels, (2-tailed) with the GDS-LD (r = 0.619), GAS-ID (Worries) (r = 0.496), with test-retest correlation C/V=25), 0.881 at the p
