Las personas con discapacidad intelectual ante el covid-19: una revisión sistemática

El modelo actual de comprensión de la discapacidad intelectual se refiere a esta como un estado de funcionamiento que variará significativamente en función de los apoyos que recibe la persona. La actual pandemia ha situado a este colectivo en una situación de especial vulnerabilidad, limitando sus apoyos y repercutiendo negativamente en su calidad de vida. Las investigaciones parecen haber obviado las perspectivas de estas personas por lo que el objetivo general de esta revisión es analizar las publicaciones que aborden el impacto de la situación de pandemia en personas con discapacidad intelectual. Se plantea una búsqueda en Web of Science y un análisis siguiendo el método PRISMA. Se concluye que el COVID-19 ha tenido importantes repercusiones en la salud física y mental de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y ha agudizado las desigualdades existentes en torno a estas personas y sus familias.
