摘要: 目的 对云南省德宏州瑞丽市傣族农村老人失能情况进行调查研究,为边疆地区评估老年人养老服务需求、规划养老事业发展提供有参考价值的建议与意见。 方法 运用多阶段随机整群抽样方法进行样本抽取,采用国际通用的老年人日常生活活动能力(ADL)标准化评定量表-Barthel指数,对瑞丽市12个村民小组的187名傣族农村老人(≥60岁)失能情况进行评定。 结果 傣族农村老人失能率点估计及其95%置信区间分别为:重度失能率为6.95%(6.02%,7.88%),中度失能率为4.28%(3.69%,4.87%),轻度失能率为77.01%(74.47%,79.54%),无失能率为11.76%(10.28%,13.25%),合并重度与中度失能即中重度的失能率为11.23%(9.80%,12.66%)。分年龄段的ADL比较,呈现出明显的趋势:随着年龄的增加,失能越严重(P<0.001);65岁前女性老人的失能状况比男性老人严重(P<0.01)。65岁及以上,失能状况的性别差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 结论 本文在国内首次报道了瑞丽傣族农村老人的失能率情况估计及其95%置信区间,为评估民族地区老年人长期照护服务需求和养老事业发展规划决策提供依据。瑞丽傣族农村老人随着年龄的增长,其日常生活活动能力(ADL)逐渐下降,失能率随之升高。女性年幼老人(≥60岁,≤65岁)日常生活活动能力低于男性老人。瑞丽傣族农村老人的中重度失能状况低于全国平均水平。Abstract: Objective To investigate disability of the Dai elderly in traditional rural communities in Ruili,Dehong Prefecture in Yunnan province,in order to well evaluate the needs of the increasing elderly for long-term care services in remote and border area in China,and provide reference for the long term strategic planning for elderly among EMGs in China. Methods The multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to sample 187 Dai elderly from 12 traditional villages in Ruili.Barthel index was used to evaluate the activities of daily living(ADL)of of the Dai elderly aged over 60 years. Results Based on the ADL measures on 187 elderly in Dai villages,the disability rates of Dai elderly were estimated statistically in terms of point estimation and 95% confidence interval(CI) estimation.The severe disability rate and its 95%CI were 6.95%(6.02%,7.88%),and moderate disability rate and its 95%CI were 4.28%(3.69%,4.87%),while mild disability rate 77.01%(74.47%,79.54%).Meanwhile,the rate of non-disability and its 95% CI were 11.76%(10.28%,13.25%).The disability rate,defined as severe and moderate disability,of Dai elderly and its 95%CI were 11.23%(9.80%,12.66%).Age was found closely associated with disability:the older,the lower the ADL,meaning more serious disability(P<0.001).High-significantly higher disability was found for the young elderly women than men(P<0.01),but no significant difference was identified between women and men among those groups aged 65 years old and above(P>0.05). Conclusion s This paper reports,as the first time in China,the disability rates of elderly in Dai villages.The disability rates gradually have been increasing by age for the Dai elderly in traditional rural communities in Ruili.Among the rural elderly Dai villagers younger than 65 years old,women show a higher disability rate.No significant difference has been identified between men and women among the age groups older than 65 years old.The disability rates of the Dai elderly in traditional rural communities are relatively lower than the national average ones stated by other studies in China.
