摘要
本研究使用 COVID 相关想法和行为症状-成人版 (COV-TaBS-A) 问卷调查了居住在得克萨斯州的智力和发育障碍(IDD)成人的家庭照顾者在 COVID-19 相关担忧方面的种族/民族差异。共有 26 名照顾者完成了调查。与白人照护者相比,拉丁裔照护者更有可能非常担心食物和用品是否充足(adj OR 3.41,95% CI [1.50,7.74]),如果考虑到他们是唯一的照护者和使用服务提供者的服务的话。在自由文本问题中,照顾者描述了因额外的责任、家庭医疗服务的中断以及对亲人健康的担忧而感到不知所措。研究结果可用于在大流行病/紧急情况下为成年 IDD 患者的照顾者提供策略支持。
Racial/Ethnicity Disparities in COVID-19 Worry for Caregivers of Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.
This study investigated the racial/ethnic differences in COVID-19-related worry amongst family caregivers of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) living in Texas using the COVID-Related Thoughts and Behavioral Symptoms-Adult Version (COV-TaBS-A) questionnaire. Two hundred and six caregivers completed the survey. Compared to White caregivers, Latino caregivers were more likely to be very concerned about having enough food and supplies (adj OR 3.41, 95% CI [1.50, 7.74]) when adjusting for being that sole caregiver and using provider services. In free text questions, caregivers described feeling overwhelmed by additional responsibilities, disruptions in home health services, and concerns about their loved ones' wellness. Study findings can be used to strategize support for caregivers of adults with IDD during pandemic/emergency situations.
