Holistic Rehabilitation Data Design Study on physical and brain disabilities

Research Objectives: As the elderly population increases rapidly, the incidence of disabilities among the elderly and the tendency of the disabled elderlies are increasing. These symptoms burden the socioeconomic costs. Especially disabled with physical and brain lesions, the cost of treatment and treatment due to aftereffects are costly, and the socioeconomic cost continues to increase.
To reduce such medical expenses, various rehabilitation policies are being promoted for disabled people with physical and brain lesions, and to propel these policies successfully, it is necessary to collect various rehabilitation-related data based on hospitals and communities.
In this study, we designed a Holistic Rehabilitation Panel Study on Physical and Brain Disabilities(HRPS) to provide longitudinal data for rehabilitation policy-related decision makers, medical personnel, parties with physical brain lesions, and researchers.

Design: Web-based survey

Setting: Not applicable

Participants: A panel planning and rehabilitation experts (N=19) completed the survey by invitation between March and November 2022.

Interventions: Not applicable

Main Outcome Measures: We searched domestic and international Panel data related to the disabled, and related literature about affecting the rehabilitation of people with physical brain lesions, and in particular, community activities and participation, various systems and services, and social environmental factors after discharge were investigated. And through panel planning experts, the survey method and population selection, panel planning, and item selection were investigated.

Results: The survey item collection model was based on the BioPsychoSocial Model (BPS) and ICF theory, and rehabilitation services were classified into three categories: medical, psychological and social rehabilitation. Variables and facilities were classified referring to ICF theory and iuput/output.

Conclusions: Through this study, we developed HRPS CORE-SET by completing the draft survey through multidisciplinary advisory meetings. In the future, we will prepare for sample design and panel operation methods.
