Abstract:
[Objective] To evaluate mental health status of the rural disabled population, so as to provide reference for future mental health service to help them.
[Methods] A total of 260 disabled people (except those with psychic disability or intellectual disability) were cluster sampled from 4 villages and completed a Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90).
[Results] Of the study subjects, the average scores of 9 SCL-90 items were 1.73-2.19. The detection rate of item scores greater than 2 ranged from 38.6% to 56.6%. The top five items were obsessive symptoms, depression, psychotic symptoms, somatization, and human relations, with high detection rates of 56.6%-51.4%. The scores of human relations, depression, anxiety and phobia were significantly higher in the female disabled people than in the male ones.
[Conclusion] Psychological problems are prevailing among the rural disabled people, which call for much more attention to the improvement of their mental health, quality of life, and communication ability.
