Taiwan's increasingly aging population has increased demand for elderly and long-term care dramatically. Professional competency based on the latest information and best-practice techniques is essential for nurses to provide high-quality care. As of 2012, the Protection Act for the Rights and Interests of Disabled Citizens requires that healthcare providers evaluate level of disability according to the WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Professional nurses thus must fully understand the ICF. This article introduces ICF concepts as well as its development, coding system, core sets, and application. We also introduce a case situation to illustrate ICF coding methodology. This article is intended to raise awareness of the ICF evaluation approach and facilitate its quick and proper application in clinical work and guidance on best-practice nursing interventions.
台湾人口老龄化日益加剧，对老年护理和长期护理的需求大幅增加。基于最新信息和最佳实践技术的专业能力对于护士提供高质量护理至关重要。截至2012年，《身心障碍者权益保障法》要求医疗保健提供者根据世界卫生组织的《国际功能、残疾和健康分类》（ICF）评估残疾程度。因此，专业护士必须充分了解ICF。本文介绍了ICF的概念、发展、编码系统、核心组合及其应用。我们还介绍了一个案例情况来说明ICF编码方法。本文旨在提高对ICF评估方法的认识，并促进其在临床工作中的快速、正确应用以及最佳实践护理干预的指导。
