Models and measurement in disability: an international review

Abstract: This article reviews the theoretical basis and methods for disability measurement. Different methods arise from different theoretical perspectives. Recent efforts to develop a general international disability measure consistent with the social model of disability aim to produce an internationally comparable measure of disability with which to assess the equalisation of opportunities. Such a measure cannot consistently identify disabled people in need of health and social services. Correctly identifying those i… Show more

“…WHO's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) highlighted the co-existence of both the biomedical and social dimensions of disability (WHO 2001), which defines disability as difficulties an individual may have in performing any personal care, functioning, or participating in social activities because of intrinsic impairment or contextual barriers (Field and Jette 2007;Hull 2012;Iezzoni and Freedman 2008;Palmer and Harley 2012;WHO 2001). This concept is useful for understanding and quantifying disability trends over time (Davis et al 2012;Field and Jette 2007), despite targeting the general population and not corresponding precisely with the widely used measures of functional disability (i.e., ADL and IADL) (Freedman 2011).…”

“…In addition, certain social groups (or cultures) also may have different interpretations for the same survey question (Banks et al 2008). Similarly, an individual's knowledge and perception of disability may change over time (Jang et al 2010;Palmer and Harley 2012), especially when new devices and technology make some tasks easier to perform (e.g., microwave cooking). Indeed, for results even within the same country, the disability trends are dependent on particular disability measures (see Freedman et al 2004;Lin et al 2012;Schoeni et al 2005).…”

“…Según estimaciones de Naciones Unidas (ONU, 2017), la proporción de población con 65 años y más en el país para el 2000 fue 2.4% y se proyecta que sea 7.6% en 2020 y 18.9% en 2050. Entre las consecuencias más notorias del envejecimiento poblacional se encuentra el aumento absoluto y relativo de casos de morbilidad, así como el incremento del riesgo de mortalidad por Enfermedades Crónicas (EC) (Lee, Go, Lindquist, Bertenthal y Covinsky, 2008; Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS], 2015), así como el desarrollo de dependencia funcional (Nagi, 1976;Palmer y Harley, 2011).…”

“…Sin embargo, la evaluación mediante dificultades para el desarrollo de actividades básicas de la vida diaria (AVD) es uno de los enfoques más utilizados (OMS, 2015;Palmer y Harley, 2011). Las AVD es una escala basada en el rol personal y las tareas de autocuidado mediante la evaluación de la independencia en la realización de seis actividades: alimentarse, vestirse, bañarse, incontinencia urinaria, transferirse de la cama a la silla y uso del sanitario (Katz, Ford, Moskowitz, Jackson y Jaffe, 1963).…”
