Abstract
Cada día aumenta la expectativa de vida para personas con discapacidad intelectual (DI/RM). El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir la calidad de vida de familias de adultos con DI/RM en Cali, Colombia. La muestra estuvo conformada por 158 familias. Se utilizaron dos instrumentos de recogida de información un Cuestionario Sociodemográfi co y la Escala de Calidad de Vida Familiar (Beach Center, 2001), ésta última adaptada previamente a población colombiana (Verdugo, Córdoba & Gómez, 2005, 2006). Los principales hallazgos demostraron que la calidad de vida de las familias está afectadapor la falta de oportunidades para la inclusión social de personas adultas con DI/RM. Estas difi cultades, aparentemente, desencadenan efectos en el bienestar del adulto con DI/RM y su familia. Los resultados proveen información para la definición de políticas sociales para estas familias. Everyday the life expectancy for people with intellectual disabilities (ID/MR) increases. The aim of this research was to describe the quality of life of the families of adults with ID in Cali, Colombia. The sample consisted of 158 families. Two instruments for gathering information were used: a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, and the Family Quality of Life Scale (Beach Center, 2001). The latter was previously adapted for the Colombian population (Verdugo, Córdoba & Gómez, 2005, 2006). The main fi ndings showed that family quality of life is affected by the lack of opportunities for social inclusion in adults with ID/MR. These diffi culties lead to repercussions on the wellbeing of the adult with ID/MR and his or her family. The results provide information for the defi nition of social policies for these families
