神经系统疾病患者的需要。

背景：在印度，许多神经系统疾病患者从几家医院出院，但需求严重未得到满足。目的：评估印度班加罗尔一家三级护理医院神经系统疾病患者的需求。方法和材料：这是一项横断面描述性研究，通过有目的的抽样选择了30名在班加罗尔NIMHANS接受住院服务的PwND。使用了Camberwell需求评估-研究版本。结果：绝大多数（90%）的受访者在日间活动、心理困扰、疾病和性信息方面的需求未得到满足。大多数人（70%）在工作、自我保健、药品、流动性和儿童保育方面的需求未得到满足。一半（50%）的受访者在住宿、亲密和社会关系、财务等方面的需求未得到满足。四分之三的人透露，他们对食品、安全和社会福利的需求已经得到满足。结论：低经济、低文化程度和城市户籍的患者有更多的服务需求。本研究试图进行系统的需求评估，这对解决残疾人未满足的需求以提高他们的生活质量具有重要意义。
