“…The results of these CHNAAs provided more information to researchers, community organizations, and local policy-makers. Their results also may guide further research agenda in the community [ 18 , 21 , 23 , 29 , 35 , 39 , 40 , 42 , 44 , 48 – 50 , 52 , 54 , 55 , 62 , 64 – 66 , 69 – 73 , 76 – 78 , 85 , 96 , 106 , 122 , 123 , 131 – 135 ]. Some of these studies tried to present their results to the local authorities through various channels in the hope that it would modify existing programmes or implement new ones to meet the needs of the community residents.…”

Background Community health needs and assets assessment is a means of identifying and describing community health needs and resources, serving as a mechanism to gain the necessary information to make informed choices about community health. The current review of the literature was performed in order to shed more light on concepts, rationale, tools and uses of community health needs and assets assessment. Methods We conducted a scoping review of the literature published in English using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PDQ evidence, NIH database, Cochrane library, CDC library, Trip, and Global Health Library databases until March 2021. Results A total of 169 articles including both empirical papers and theoretical and conceptual work were ultimately retained for analysis. Relevant concepts were examined guided by a conceptual framework. The empirical papers were dominantly conducted in the United States. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method approaches were used to collect data on community health needs and assets, with an increasing trend of using mixed-method approaches. Almost half of the included empirical studies used participatory approaches to incorporate community inputs into the process. Conclusion Our findings highlight the need for having holistic approaches to assess community’s health needs focusing on physical, mental and social wellbeing, along with considering the broader systems factors and structural challenges to individual and population health. Furthermore, the findings emphasize assessing community health assets as an integral component of the process, beginning foremost with community capabilities and knowledge. There has been a trend toward using mixed-methods approaches to conduct the assessment in recent years that led to the inclusion of the voices of all community members, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. A notable gap in the existing literature is the lack of long-term or longitudinal–assessment of the community health needs assessment impacts.

“…The transition period post‐discharge can be chaotic, especially for those who were physical independent before hospitalisation as they have to cope with the dramatic changes caused by the decline in physical function, which will make them feel difficult to adapt to new roles and living situations, leading to further social, emotional and behavioural disorders (Cornwell et al, 2012; Perry & Middleton, 2011), which can be avoided by early transitional care (Field et al, 2015). The key component to provide appropriate quality care to the older people is to understand their needs correctly (Lee et al,2015). Therefore, it is necessary to assess care needs of the older people with HAD post‐discharge.…”

“…The care needs refer to the need for health services arising from a relative lack of resources due to changes in physical, psychological and social life circumstances (Wang & Cui, 2018). The needs assessment of the older people with HAD can help caregivers provide better care services, improve the health outcomes of the older people post-discharged and can also promote the rational allocation of care resources (Lee et al,2015).…”

Aims: To investigate the change and associated factors of care needs within 6 months post-discharge in older people with hospital-associated disability, and the relationship between time-varying care needs and physical function.Background: Older people with hospital-associated disability will have various care needs post-discharge. Understanding their care needs will help to improve their health. However, studies on this population are still limited.Design: A longitudinal study. Methods:The older people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected in 2 tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China. The questionnaire survey method was used to collect data about socio-demographic characteristics, physical function and care needs. The data of 375 older people who completed follow-up were analysed using logistic regression analysis, generalised estimating equations and generalised additive mixed model. We followed STROBE checklist for reporting the study. Results:The care needs of the older people with hospital-associated disability declined unevenly, it decreased rapidly in the first three months, and then flattening out. The percentage of people with care needs in each dimension decreased over time, but daily care and rehabilitation needs were consistently more important. Sociodemographic factors and physical function had different effects on need at different time points, the physical function was the main factor among them. There were non-linear relationships between the physical function and different care needs with different inflection points. Conclusion:This research revealed change patterns of the care needs of older people with hospital-associated disability post-discharge and the non-linear relationship between physical function and care needs. These findings may help healthcare professionals and caregivers to provide accurate care.

Background: The Population Ageing is poised to become an inevitable and predominant demographic changes occurring in every country around the world including Thailand. The country is facing challenges of the coming demographic shifts and enacting policies proactively to adapt to an ageing population. Therefore, the actual need of the elderly should be evaluated properly in order to manage the continuing growth of the ageing society. Method: This study is a cross-sectional description for quantitative data study which aimed to access the needs and identify the met need and un-met need of the elderly living Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand using Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly questionnaire (CANE). The CANE questionnaire was translated to Thai and the validity and reliability test were performed. The IOC (Index of Consistency) score of the questionnaire was 0.76 and the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was 0.82. The Chi-square analysis was used to explore the association between and sociodemographic, living status and health status and need identification. The regression analysis was also performed to evaluate association of independent factors which can explain the number (level) of need, met need and unmet need Results: Among 330 elderly participants who age 60 years old or above, 66.4 percent of them had at least one need per 24 items of need and 22.7% had at least one unmet need. The average need score of the sample was 3.09 per person out of 24 CANE topics (s.d.= 3.33) which 0.4 were unmet need (s.d.=1.05). The areas which had high percentage of need were physical health, eyesight/hearing/communication and memory respectively, while the area with the high percentage of unmet need (per total need) were the self-care, caring for other, benefit and accommodation. The age, number of disease and type of insurance had significant association with the number of total needs whereas, the monthly income and living environment had relationship with the unmet needs determination (p-value < 0.05). Conclusions: Although the most frequent identified need was in physical need, the highest proportion of unmet need was found in function category. Even age, number of disease and type of insurance had association with the number of total needs, the monthly income and living environment were the factors determining the unmet need.

Health needs of older Aboriginal people in Taiwan: a community‐based assessment using a multidimensional instrument

Abstract: The findings can be used to identify effective approaches to addressing health needs among older Aboriginal people with a consideration of gender. Only then can resources be allocated and prioritised in a culturally sensitive and gender-specific manner nationally and globally.
