　　主题：国际物理医学与康复医学学会康复救灾援助分论坛

　　时间和地点：波多黎各，国际物理医学与康复学学会期间，2011年6月13日，周一，13:30-17:30

　　征稿——截稿日期为2011年3月31日

　　自然灾难往往导致大量人员伤亡，受伤类别有脊髓损伤、脑外伤、截肢，骨折和外周神经损伤。尽管如此，传统卫生体系在应对灾难时，并未重视康复的作用。此外，在受灾最严重的地区，卫生体系的能力和康复发展亦相对落后。灾后早期及中长期忽视康复，使得住院周期延长，而现存资源数量有限，进一步导致卫生体系能力受限。此外，由于国际康复同道间缺少交流，资源受限，伤员康复需求评估的困难，以及现有资源间的合作困难等，灾后很难组织康复救灾活动。

　　因此，国际物理与康复医学学会(ISPRM)成立了康复救灾委员会(RDRC)。

　　在ISPRM-RDRC的支持下，首届康复救灾论坛将在波多黎各举行的国际物理医学与康复学会议期间举行，时间为：2011年6月13日(周一)，13：30-17：30。论坛致力于提高对康复救灾的认识。

　　欢迎大家投稿，内容包括：

　　自然灾害致残的流行病学研究(包括灾前残疾人群的损伤特点)

　　自然灾害致残者的需求评估方法和存在问题

　　康复救灾人员培训

　　灾后康复介入的效果和成本效益分析

　　灾后康复服务面临的挑战和应对策略

　　致力于提高医疗康复作为灾后早期和后期救援主要卫生策略的政策研究

　　Subject: ISPRM Symposium on Rehabilitation Disaster Relief

　　At the ISPRM World Conference in Puerto Rico 2011, Monday June 13, 13.30-17.30 h

　　Call for papers - Deadline for abstract submission is March 31, 2011

　　Natural Disasters result in a sudden onslaught of huge numbers of catastrophic and disabling impairments including spinal cord injuries (SCI), traumatic brain injuries (TBI), limb amputations, long bone fractures and peripheral nerve injuries.

　　Nonetheless, traditional health system response to disasters neglects rehabilitation as one major health strategy. In addition, in those regions within which disasters have the strongest effects on morbidity and people's functioning, health system capacity and rehabilitation services are usually underdeveloped. The neglect of rehabilitation in the acute and mid-term phase after disasters leads to even further limiting effects on health system capacity due to extended length of stay and bound resources in existing health care settings. Moreover, international rehabilitation disaster relief efforts are difficult to organize because of a lack of exchange between international organizations of the rehabilitation professions, resource constraints, difficulties in the assessments of needs of newly disabled persons as well as persons with existing disabilities within the disaster affected regions, and eventually problems in the coordination of available resources.

　　The International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (ISPRM) has thus founded a Sub-Committee dedicated to Rehabilitation Disaster Relief (RDRC).

　　Under the umbrella of ISPRM's RDRC, a first Symposium on Rehabilitation Disaster Relief will be held on Monday, June 13, 1.30 to 5.30 pm during the ISPRM World Conference in Puerto Rico 2011. The Symposium aims at improving our knowledge base on Rehabilitation Disaster Relief. Papers are welcome on the:

　　? Epidemiology of disability in natural disaster (including vulnerability of persons with pre-existing disabilities)

　　? Assessment methods of needs and problems of persons with disabilities in natural disaster

　　? Training of rehabilitation responders to disaster

　　? Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions after natural disaster

　　? Current challenges in rehabilitation service provision and intervention strategies in disaster victims with disabilities

　　? Policies to raise awareness about medical rehabilitation as major health strategy after natural disaster in the acute as well as post-acute relief phase

　　Abstracts for the presentation of papers can be submitted online at: http://abstracts.flexmax.eu/isprm2011/disaster/
