Perceptions of 269 community-based elderly persons and eighty health-care professionals were compared for opinions related to the health-care needs of the elderly, and major barriers faced by the elderly to the utilization of health services. The data indicate a high degree of incongruence between the perceptions of the elderly and those of the professionals. Health professionals were not good predictors of the health status of the elderly, and they did not accurately predict the barriers faced by the elderly seeking health care. Congruence of responses was found only related to the cost of health services. Reasons for these differences were explored, and recommendations for future program planning were made.
比较了269名社区老年人和80名医护人员对老年人医疗保健需求以及老年人在利用医疗服务时面临的主要障碍的看法。数据表明老年人与专业人员的看法存在高度不一致。医护人员不能很好地预测老年人的健康状况，也不能准确预测寻求医疗保健的老年人所面临的障碍。仅在医疗服务成本方面发现了回答的一致性。探讨了这些差异的原因，并为未来的项目规划提出了建议。
