Unmet Needs and Services of Rehabilitation for People with Intellectual Disabilities Using Logistic Regression Analysis / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of unmet needs and services of rehabilitation for people with intellectual disability (PIDs). Methods:A total of 250 654 PIDs had been sampled and administration data of unmet needs and services of rehabilitation at provincial level had been analyzed the characteristics of unmet needs and services of rehabilitation, and the related factors of needs and services were analyzed with Logistic Regression. Results:The rate of unmet needs reported by PIDs from high to low were nursing (47.8%), medicine (37.2%), functional training (26.1%), assistive devices (19.8%) and surgery (1.3%). The PIDs reported received service of rehabilitation, including nursing care (43.5%), medicine (29.3%), functional training (27.2%), assistive devices (19.6%) and surgery (0.8%). Logistic Regression Model showed that age and severity of disabilities significantly affect the reported the unmet needs and received services (P < 0.001). Conclusion:PIDs reported unmet needs mainly involved in the fields of nursing care, medicine and rehabilitation training and therapy. The unmet needs and received services had similar structure. It proposed to develop rehabilitation services tailored to PIDs' intellectual function and adaptive behaviors to develop services items and to deliver individualized and precise services.
