abstract = {Introduction: People with intellectual disability (ID) experience the process of grief in
the face of the loss of a loved, like the general population. However, there are a series of
risk factors characteristic of this population that can hinder the development of adaptive
grief, including cognitive and affective aspects. The objective of this study was to
evaluate the effectiveness of a brief intervention program in people with ID to improve
understanding of the concept of death, grief processes, and adaptive attitudes.
Method: A mixed method design was used. A total of 38 people with ID participated.
The variables measured were: grief, biological and cognitive concept about death.
Results: The program increased understanding in dimensions of the concept of death of
Inevitability and Universality, and showed a greater understanding and healthier
attitudes regarding death and grief.
Conclusions: It is recommended that in future research studies, education on death be
worked as early as possible in people with ID, in order to prevent future pathological
grief.},
