Abstract：Objective To investigate the present situation of input,output,outcome and impact of all registered community-based re-habilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China,and analyze how the input predict the output,outcome and im-pact.
Methods From March 1st to April 30th,2025,a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia,covering four dimensions:input,output,outcome and impact.A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed.The input included four items:laws and policies,human resources,equip-ment and facilities,and rehabilitation information management.The output included two items:technical paths and benefits/effectiveness.The outcome included three items:coverage rates,rehabilitation interventions and functional results.The impact included two items:health and sustainability.Each item contained several ques-tions,all of which were described in a positive way.Each question was scored from one to five.A lower score in-dicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content de-scribed in the question.Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables,and the total scores of the output,outcome and impact dimensions as dependent vari-ables.
Results A total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected.The mean values of input,output,outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904,with coefficient of variation of 45.892%to 49.239%.The regression analysis showed that,rehabilitation information management,human resources,and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension(R²=0.910,P<0.001).Meanwhile,all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome(R²=0.850,P<0.001)and impact dimensions(R²=0.833,P<0.001).
Conclusion Input,output,outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions,although some imbalances were observed.Additionally,the in-put of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output,outcome and impact.
