Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the focuses and shortcomings of the long-term care policy for disabled elderlies in China, for references to optimize such policies.Methods:The data came from the policy documents on long-term care for disabled elderlies published on respective official websites of various ministries and commissions from January 1, 2013 to April 20, 2022. Text quantitative analysis was used to extract policy clauses, and three types of policy tools(including 13 types of sub-tools) were used to analyze these provisions.Results:132 clauses were extracted from a total of 34 policy documents, of which the number of clauses of supply, demand and environmental policy tools were 28(21.21%), 25(18.94%) and 79(59.85%) respectively. There were few clauses on scientific and technological information support(5) and capital investment(3) in the supply-type policy tools; In terms of demand-based policy tools, there were only a few clauses for government purchase(5), pilot projects(3) and service outsourcing(2); In terms of environmental policy tools, there were only a few clauses for standard design(9) and supervision and management(7).Conclusions:The long-term care policy structure of the disabled elderly in China was not balanced, the supply-based policy tools had less scientific and technological information support, the demand-based policy tools were short and single, and the environment-based policy tools were widely used but lack of standard design. Relevant policy-making departments should further improve the accuracy of policy targets, optimize the internal structure of policy tools, pay attention to the application of scientific and technological information policies and clarify the relevant standards of care services.
