Abstract:
Objective:To describe health service use and trend of treatment and rehabilitation rates among people with psychiatric disability from 2007 to 2013.Methods:Data collected by the 2006 Second China National Sample Survey and the 2007-2013 National Disability Monitoring Survey were utilized and analyzed.The 2006 National Sample Survey on Disabilities investigated 2 526 145 non-institutionalized representative civilians in 734 counties across mainland China.Psychiatric disability was diagnosed by clinical psychiatrists according to ICD-10 and WHO DAS Ⅱ criteria.The 2007 to 2013 National Disability Monitoring Survey selected 1 to 2 study sites among each of the 734 study counties that had been investigated by the Second China National Sample Survey.Information on living conditions,health service use,education and employment were recorded.Results:The data showed that treatment and rehabilitation rates for people with psychiatric disability had largely increased from 2007 to 2013 among adults aged 18 years or older,with the treatment and rehabilitation rates from 49.52% and 21.8% to 66.9% and 58.7% respectively,and the rates among those with 17 years or younger from 23.5% to 43.9%.However,with regard to the effect of the treatment and rehabilitation services,a much larger proportion of people with psychiatric disability reported that the effect was soso instead of good or very good.In addition,among those who received rehabilitation service,most received day care or psychotherapy service,only less than 8% participated work therapy,farming therapy or working skill trainings.Conclusion:The results suggest treatment and rehabilitation rates among people with psychiatric disability are largely increased from 2007 to 2013,while the quality of the service needs further attention.
