| dc.description.abstract | The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in adults and seniors is increasing in the United States, with an incidence of 1 in every 44 individuals. Adults with ASD carry a substantial burden from medical comorbidities, thus the provision of care to this population can be complex, resulting in many barriers to receiving satisfactory care. Literature suggests that healthcare providers lack the knowledge and adequate preparation needed to provide necessary care to this population, but little is known about nursing knowledge. The aim of this study is to explore the knowledge and experience level that nurses have when caring for an adult with ASD. | en_US |
