How can nursing better support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities? Dr. Regine Reaves, a 2021-2022 Golisano Fellow, explores the answer in a new Nursing Outlook article on standards, concepts, and competencies. loom.ly/sWuHTT0

Line chart titled “Variation of IDD Concepts Across ANA Standards.” The x-axis lists ANA standards: Assessment (S1), Diagnosis (S2), Outcomes (S3), Planning (S4), Implementation (S5), and Evaluation (S6). The y-axis shows the number of competencies. Multiple colored lines represent IDD concepts, including Accessibility, Advocacy, Autonomy, Capacity Building, Communication, Cultural Competence, Diversity, Equity, Holistic Health, Inclusion, Integration, Lifespan, Self-Determination, and Systems Change. Most concepts remain relatively low during Assessment through Outcomes, rise sharply and peak at Planning and/or Implementation, then decline at Evaluation. Self-Determination and Systems Change show the highest peaks around Planning, while most other concepts reach moderate peaks before decreasing in the final standard.
