Presentation Transcript

  1. Disaster rehabilitation and its need in developing countries James Gosney MD MPHSecretary - Committee on Rehabilitation Disaster Relief (CRDR)International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) 1st International and 3rd National Conference (RehabCon 2014) Rawalpindi, Pakistan April 5, 2014

  2. Severe disabling injuries Fracture Amputation Burn Spinal cord injury Traumatic brain injury Peripheral nerve injury

  3. Rehabilitation of disabling injuries:  positive outcomes reduced hospital stay increased functional recovery fewer complications Rathore MF, Rashid P, Butt AW, Malik AA, Gill ZA, Haig AJ. Epidemiology of spinal cord injuries in the 2005 Pakistan earthquake. Spinal Cord 2007;45:658-63.

  4. The disaster cycle

  5. Disaster rehabilitation continuum by time post disaster and stage Adapted from Fig. 1. A suggested plan of rehabilitation interventions after a natural disaster in the article. "Medical Rehabilitation After Natural Disasters: Why, When, and How? Arch Phys Med Rehab Vol 93, October 2012.

  6. Community integration

  7. HEALTH REHABILITATION

  8. Barriers to disaster rehab (in developing countries) underdeveloped civil infrastructure:  building standards, communication/transportation networks limited pre-hospital systems:  search & rescue, triage & initial stabilization, evacuation insufficient acute & definitive medical/rehab care:  supplies, equipment & facilities, trained personnel  

  9. Disaster rehabilitation continuum by time post disaster and stage Adapted from Fig. 1. A suggested plan of rehabilitation interventions after a natural disaster in the article. "Medical Rehabilitation After Natural Disasters: Why, When, and How? Arch Phys Med Rehab Vol 93, October 2012.

  10. Overcoming disaster rehab barriers Needs assessment (ongoing) Continuity of care (comprehensive) Rehabilitation-specific training (at all levels) Coordination (ongoing, comprehensive, at all levels)

  11. Injury and rehabilitation research needs An evidence review of research  on health interventions in humanitarian crises (LSHTM, 2013) • Evidence following natural disasters • Evidence on rehabilitation interventions in camp contexts • Evidence on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of long-term rehabilitative interventions (long-term health outcomes, functionality, and quality of life) • Understanding of mechanisms that enable a continuum of care as programs transition from the emergency tothe development phase • Studies evaluating rehabilitation interventions in the preparedness phase with their subsequent impact on health outcomes  • Appropriate quality standards and measurements of service performance
