StoryAid: Nursing Students' Relational Learning for Adolescents With Intellectual Learning Disabilities.

Background: Nursing students express fears and anxieties about caring for people with intellectual learning disabilities (ILDs). Educational storytelling interventions may help overcome these concerns and improve nursing care.

Method: StoryAid was used and developed in the Heritage-2Health (H2H) Virtual Art and Drama Project.

Co-design and delivery of a relational learning programme for nursing students and young people with severe and complex learning disabilities.

Background: National Health Service (NHS) staff in the UK are required to undergo training about learning disabilities at the appropriate level for their role. However, this requirement does not apply to nurses in training and student nurses report fear and anxiety about caring for people with intellectual learning disabilities (ILDs). Young people with intellectual disabilities report feeling scared of nurses and parents feel staff do not listen to them or involve them in care.
