ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current status of community rehabilitation services for the older adults and the related factors based on the framework of Anderson Health Model and World Health Organization Community-based Rehabilitation Guideline. Methods:Data from 2016 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey were analyzed with multiple response to explore the needs of community rehabilitation services, analyzed with Logistic regression to explore the related factors. Results:The older adults needed somehow community rehabilitation services (11.07%). However, the ratio of actual utilization of rehabilitation services (0.94%) and the meeting of needs (6.75%) were very low. The demand of community rehabilitation services related with education among the propensity factors (OR = 1.299); income (OR = 1.245), pensions (OR = 1.337), financial support from children (OR = 1.236), community's health support services (OR > 1.547) and community participation (OR = 1.640) among the enabling factors; disability (OR = 2.336) and suffering some chronic diseases (diabetes, cerebrovascular diseases, cervical and lumbar diseases, and Alzheimer's disease, etc.) among the demand factors. Conclusion:There are structural differences between the demand and supply of community rehabilitation services for the older adults. Education, economic conditions, community's health support services, community participation and health status are the factors related with the needs of community rehabilitation services, in the framework of Community-based Rehabilitation Guideline.
