Administrative Prevalence of autism spectrum disorders based on national disability registers in Taiwan / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 3-1 (January 2009)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 3-1 (January 2009) . - p.269-274 Titre : Administrative Prevalence of autism spectrum disorders based on national disability registers in Taiwan Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jin-Ding LIN, Auteur ; Lan-Ping LIN, Auteur ; Jia-Ling WU, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.269-274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Autism-spectrum-disorders Autism-prevalence Disability-register Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aim of this paper was to describe the over time prevalence of autism from 2000 to 2007 in Taiwan, with particular focus on the age, gender, prevalence and causes. We analyzed data from the public web-access information collected by the Department of Statistics, Ministry of the Interiors, Taipei, Taiwan. The data included: (1) the physically and mentally disabled population by age and severity level; (2) the physically and mentally disabled population by cause; and (3) the Taiwan general population by age. The registered number of people with autism drastically increased from 2062 to 7207 (increase rate = 249.5%), and the male/female ratio of autism was 6.0–6.6 from 2000 to 2007. The autistic cases increased significantly, particularly in children between 6 and 11 years of age, occupying about 43.9–49.5% of the autistic population. The reported prevalence of each age group, aged 0–5 years was 2.4–7.8/10,000, aged 6–11 was 5.0–17.3/10,000, and aged 12–17 years was 2.1–10.4/10,000 from year 2000 to 2007. The main cause of autism was congenital (48.5–58.0%), followed by disease (9.5–31.1%) or other (20.0–32.7%). An increase in prevalence would suggest the need for more attention and funding of services for children with autism.

Aged and dependency ratios among autism, intellectual disability and other disabilities: 10-year trend analysis / Jin-Ding LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-1 (January-March 2011)

The present paper focuses on the description of dependency ratios and over time change in different kind of disability which include autism, intellectual disability, vision, hearing, and limb impairments. We analyzed data mainly from the public web-access information which collected by the Taiwan MOI. We analyzed the national register data in two ways for 2000–2009: the Disabled Population by Aged and Grade and the Taiwan General Population by Age, to examine the dependent ratios in disabilities. The dependency ratio measures the percentage of dependent people (not of working age)/number of people of working age (economically active), and it is decomposed into the child dependency ratio, the aged dependency ratio and index of aging. The results found the aged dependency ratios in general or disabled population were significantly increased in 2000–2009. Vision, hearing and limb disabilities had the higher aging index in all disabilities. Intellectual disability and autistic cases were relatively younger age population than other disabilities. However, the trend test revealed that child dependency ratio in autism decrease significantly as the identified case number increase during the past 10 years. Many reasons were discussed in the context of the trend changes. Finally, the results highlights that the increasing dependency ratio trends revealed that we are facing an aging population, the social security system need to provide for a significantly older and non-working population. The future study should consider the indicators such as the number of people receiving disability benefits or the use of disability-adjusted life years, they would provide more accurate for tracking dependency in the society.

Disparity in autism spectrum disorder prevalence among Taiwan National Health Insurance enrollees: Age, gender and urbanization effects / Shang-Wei HSU in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 6-2 (April-June 2012)

A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze data from 895,639 random health insurance claimants who claimed medical services in the year 2007. Autism was defined using the ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 299.0 (autism, current or active). The prevalence of autistic cases was found to be 12.3‰ (10,868/884,771) in the general population, with the prevalence among males (19.2‰) significantly higher than that among females (6‰). With regards to age distribution, we found that the autistic group (mean age = 16.0 years) was significantly younger than the general population (mean age = 37.2 years). A logistic regression analysis found that age, gender, residence urbanization level and Bureau of National Health Insurance regional division all constituted influence factors for autistic occurrence. The results demonstrate the importance of taking into account age, gender, and geographical disparities in autistic prevalence in order to implement appropriate public health policies for the ASD population.

Geographic differences in social-welfare oriented institutional care for people with disabilities in Taiwan, 2002–2009 / Lan-Ping LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-1 (January 2013)

Data were analyzed using governmental reported general population by administrative area, population of persons with disabilities, and the profile of disability service institutions in Taiwan-Fuchien Area from 2002 to 2009. Results revealed that there were averagely 956,549 persons with disabilities and 15,172 institutional service beds (15.86 beds per 1000 persons with disabilities; range = 0–33‰) and the mean occupancy rate was 79% (area range: 36.26–92.09%). during the past 8 years. Many rural countries and off-shore islands have poorer disability service beds than other urban cities. The results also showed that the disability population (R2 = 0.093, p < 0.001), institutional service beds (R2 = 0.885, p = 0.001) and occupied service beds (R2 = 0.917, p < 0.001) were significantly increased in curve tests during 2002–2009. However, the service beds per 1000 persons with disabilities and occupancy rate were not statistical change during the past 8 years. The study highlights the service authorities should focus on the uneven distribution problem of disability institutional care, particularly in rural countries and off-shore islands in Taiwan.

Job burnout amongst the institutional caregivers working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities: Utilization of the Chinese version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory survey / Lan-Ping LIN in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 7-6 (June 2013)

To identify personal and workplace characteristics associated with burnout, this study aimed to utilize the Chinese version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to provide a burnout profile of caregivers who served individuals with ID/DD and evaluate the potential factors associated with burnout in this group. A purposive sampling method and a self-administered structured questionnaire were employed to recruit 276 caregivers from 4 different disability institutions for study participation. The results revealed that the average personal burnout score (PBS) and work-related burnout score (WBS) were 44.0 (SD = 16.8) and 34.2 (SD = 15.9). These burnout scores were higher compared with general full time employees in Taiwan. The results showed that that 17.8% of the staff were moderately burnt out (PBS score: 50–70), and 7.6% of the staff were in the highest exhausted level (PBS score ? 70) of PBS. With regard to the WBS score, 20.7% were moderately burnt out (PBS score: 50–70), and 5.1% of the staff were in the highest exhausted level (WBS score ? 70). Finally, a multiple regression analysis reported that the factors of self-report health status and WBS significantly predicted higher respondent PBS (R2 = 0.642). The study highlights the need to improve the psychological health and well-being of the caregivers who work with individuals with ID/DD and the need for the institutions to strengthen supportive healthy working environments to decrease staff burnout.
