Development of intervention program on self-neglect and establishing regional care system

2008年度，根据与地区支援中心进行的全国调查，共有1,528例自我忽视，平均每个站点1.7±3.2例。所描述的846例自我忽视病例的特征表明，大约60%有人格问题，20%有酒精问题，20%有精神疾病，大约10%是糖尿病患者，大约40%患有需要治疗的慢性疾病。与专家的焦点小组访谈显示，由于受试者拒绝干预，难以提供支持。显然需要发展干预和支助系统的技能。与其他工作类别建立网络，早期预防性互动导致全面干预可能是有效的。
