摘要
提供家访服务所需的工作人员差旅可能会成为提供优质服务的障碍。这可能是农村计划特别关注的问题，因为农村计划对工作人员差旅的要求通常被认为比城市计划更高。作为堪萨斯州残疾婴幼儿计划（堪萨斯州 C 部分）全州需求评估的一部分，我们进行了一项时间研究，以检查农村和城市计划的旅行时间。在实地工作中，C 部分服务提供者 29.9% 的时间用于旅行，一半以上（51.4%）的时间用于直接服务，5.5% 用于准备文件，2.0% 用于与客户和合作伙伴沟通。旅行时间在城市和农村计划之间没有明显差异。这表明，在采用政策方法（如资助公式差异）时，应谨慎考虑假设的（但未记录的）城乡计划差异，如工作人员的差旅时间。
Staff Travel Time in Rural- and Urban-Serving Infants and Toddlers With Disabilities (Part C) Programs in Kansas
Staff travel required to provide home visiting services can be a barrier to quality service provision. This may be of particular concern to rural programs, where the demands of staff travel are often thought to be greater than in urban settings. As part of a statewide needs assessment of the Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities Program in Kansas (Kansas Part C), a time study was conducted to examine travel time in rural and urban programs. While in the field, Part C providers spent 29.9% of their time traveling, over half (51.4%) of their time in direct service, 5.5% preparing documentation, and 2.0% communicating with clients and partners. Travel time did not differ significantly between urban and rural programs. This suggests that caution is warranted when adopting policy approaches, such as funding formula differences, designed to account for assumed (but not documented) differences in rural and urban programs, such as staff travel time.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
