To analyze and evaluate the efficacy of evacuation plans described by individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Descriptive study from a convenience sample.
Outpatient population center in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Twenty-one individuals with SCI who previously indicated that they had a plan of evacuation from either their homes, places of work, or towns/cities were contacted via telephone and asked to describe their evacuation plans. The number of critical elements (scale of 0-10 with 10 indicating a more thorough plan) and assistive technology (AT) devices were recorded.
The number of critical elements (scale of 0-10 with 10 indicating a more thorough plan) and AT devices were recorded.
Median home and town/city evacuation scores were both 3.00 (ranges: 1.0-4.0 and 0.0-8.0, respectively). Median evacuation scores of individuals with paraplegia were higher in home (P = 0.05, r = 0.44) and town/city (P = 0.045, r = 0.63) than individuals with tetraplegia. Median evacuation scores of subjects who were employed were higher in home (P = 0.036, r = 0.47) and town/city (P = 0.064, r = 0.59) than unemployed.
Low scores indicate that individuals with SCI who believe that they have plans are not adequately prepared for an emergency evacuation. Interventions are needed to improve evacuation readiness and lack of preparedness in a catastrophe should be considered by emergency personnel when responding.
分析和评估脊髓损伤(SCI)患者所描述的疏散计划的有效性。
基于便利样本的描述性研究。
美国宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡的门诊人群中心。
通过电话联系了21名曾表示自己有从家中、工作场所或城镇疏散计划的SCI患者,要求他们描述疏散计划。记录关键要素的数量(0 - 10分制,10分表示计划更完善)和辅助技术(AT)设备。
记录关键要素的数量(0 - 10分制,10分表示计划更完善)和AT设备。
家庭和城镇疏散得分的中位数均为3.00(范围分别为1.0 - 4.0和0.0 - 8.0)。截瘫患者在家庭(P = 0.05,r = 0.44)和城镇(P = 0.045,r = 0.63)的疏散得分中位数高于四肢瘫患者。就业受试者在家庭(P = 0.036,r = 0.47)和城镇(P = 0.064,r = 0.59)的疏散得分中位数高于失业者。
低分表明认为自己有疏散计划的SCI患者对紧急疏散准备不足。需要采取干预措施来提高疏散准备程度,应急人员在应对时应考虑到灾难中准备不足的情况。
