Abstract:
Objective:To explore the aging care willingness and requirements for long-term care services among elderlies with different activity of living(ADL).Methods:7 070 elderlies aged 60 years and above were subject to a questionnaire survey using stratified multistage random cluster sampling in three municipalities of Shandong province from August through September, 2017. Data information was obtained by a customized questionnaire and ADL scale. Rank sum test and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.Results:According to the ADL scoring, the participants were divided into 3 groups: normal, decreased function, and dysfunction, with 5 467(77.3%), 1 283(18.2%), and 320(4.5%)people respectively. Elderlies with different ADL had different aging care willingness, and the difference was statistically significant( Z=8.704, P<0.05). The factors influencing long-term care services need varied with the degree of ADL. The willingness was a common factor for long-term care services needs of the three elderly groups. The age and living arrangements were factors among the normal ADL group. The living arrangements and chronic diseases were those among the decreased function group, and the education and self-rated economic status were those among the dysfunction group. Conclusions:The demand for long-term care service were diversified with the degree of ADL. Targeted interventions should be taken to meet the needs of elderlies of different ADL.
