This study aims to grasp the characteristics and trends of case records and staff awareness in institutions for persons with intellectual disabilities. The study analyzed the descriptive content of the case records of users with many problematic behaviors as well as those with fewer problematic behaviors in a certain residential facility. To this end, the study conducted a questionnaire survey on the staff regarding the case records. The results confirmed that the case records contained accounts of health status and daily routines, regardless of the user. However, users who reported serious problematic behaviors were significantly more likely to have accounts of individual episodes and problematic behavior. Furthermore, a considerable number of the staff felt burdened by the case records. Based on these findings, the study discusses the future directions for case records.
