• Description:
  Experiencing the institution by adults with intellectual disability still evokes controversy in source literature. The study presents the results of the research based on the analysis of narratives by nursing home workers. The reality they experience revealed the ‘subjective truth’ about the adulthood of intellectually disabled people. The analysis of the narratives showed personnel’s work that can support, initiate and shape the lives of adults in the institution or can impair their functioning to such an extent that they become passive, withdrawn and isolated. Experiencing the institution, intellectually disabled adults more frequently face limitations that affect their lives and shape them according to a particular pattern. The adulthood of intellectually disabled people depends on the personnel’s approach and attitude towards this group.;
  Experiencing institutions by adults with mental retardation still evokes controversy in literature. The study presents the results of the research on the analysis of narratives by long-term care centre workers. The reality they experienced revealed ‘subjective truth’ about adult lives of mentally retarded people. The analysis of the narratives showed both the personnel’s work which can support, initiate and create adult lives in institution and work which can impair people’s functioning to such an extent that they become passive, withdrawn and isolated. More often mentally retarded adults in institutions experience limitations which affect their lives and create them according to a particular pattern. The lives of adults with mental retardation depend on personnel’s approach and attitude towards a group.
