Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: Despite an emerging evidence base, the existing literature on positive behavioural support (PBS) has been criticised on a number of grounds. The P- CPO project was designed to establish a pragmatic, ongoing database that could be used within clinical services to routinely collate the impacts of PBS intervention and address deficits in the current literature. Materials & Methods: A variety of standardised and novel measures were employed to track the impact of PBS intervention on behaviour, quality of life and use of restrictive practices in three centres in the UK and Ireland. Results: Significant decreases in challenging behaviour were evident. These were accompanied by significant changes in community participation and adaptive behaviours, and significant reductions in the use of restrictive practices. Conclusions: The P- CPO database appears to be a practical tool for measuring the effects of PBS interventions.
