医疗服务会通过影响农村老人的健康水平而对其失能状况产生影响。文章基于2011—2012年全国老年健康影响因素调查数据(CLHLS),将农村老人失能状况分解为自理能力丧失、生活能力受限以及认知能力障碍,利用二元Logit模型研究医疗服务对农村老人失能状况的影响,并对相应的影响机制进行了探讨。研究发现,是否参加新农合、距医疗点距离、医疗费用分担方式、生病能否得到及时救治以及社区医疗服务对农村老人失能状况产生显著的影响。总体上,样本地区农村老人失能状况较为严峻,并呈现出明显的性别差异和年龄差异。建立完善的长期护理体系并通过优化医疗服务供给来增强农村老人对医疗服务的可得性与可及性,成为解决农村老年失能问题的政策选择。
