The primary aim of this study was to develop an evaluation framework
that could effectively describe the quality of community-based rehabilitation
(CBR) practice in Chinese communities. This study adopted a case study
approach to build and validate a CBR evaluation framework. Core elements of CBR
programmes were defined from the literature to form an Initial Framework. Domains
and elements of the Initial Framework were then verified with examples of CBR
programmes cited in published articles. The revised framework was then further
tested for relevance and appropriateness in the real life context through testing
in five Chinese CBR programmes. RESULTS: A final framework for evaluating CBR
programmes was developed. It consists of 5 domains, 25 categorised core elements
and 72 indicators. CONCLUSION: A comprehensive CBR evaluation framework was built
and initially verified with domains, elements and indicators, and is ready for
use in Chinese CBR settings.
