Aims: To identify barriers and facilitators to nursing care of individuals with developmental disabilities (DDs).
Background: Individuals with DDs experience health disparities. Nurses, although well positioned to provide optimal care to this population, face challenges.
Design: Narrative review of extant published peer-reviewed literature.
Data Sources: Electronic databases, ProQuest and EBSCO, were searched for studies published in English between 2000 and 2019.
Review Methods: Three reviewers reviewed abstracts and completed data extraction. Knowledge synthesis was completed by evaluating the 17 selected studies.
Results: Emerging themes were: (1) barriers and challenges to nursing interventions; (2) facilitators to nursing care; and (3) recommendations for nursing education, policy and practice.
Conclusion: Nursing has the potential to be a key partner in supporting the health of people with DDs.
Impact: There is a need for specific education and training, so nurses are better equipped to provide care for people with DDs.
