不断增长的人口老龄化在维持他们的生活质量(QoL)方面提出了独特的挑战,其中包括物理,心理,和社会福祉。这项研究旨在评估多学科合作对接受初级保健的老年患者QoL的影响。进行了一项横断面研究,其中包括来自Al-Ahsa初级保健中心的200名60岁及以上的参与者,沙特阿拉伯,2024年3月至5月。使用标准化工具收集数据:SF-36用于与健康相关的QoL,多学科协作评估工具(MCET)和Lubben社交网络量表(LSNS)。进行了多元回归分析,以检查多学科合作之间的关联,社会支持,和QoL结果。多学科合作与身体功能改善呈显著正相关(β=2.35,p<0.001),心理健康(β=3.01,p<0.001),和一般健康感知(β=2.12,p<0.001)。有效合作的关键驱动因素包括有效沟通(β=0.48,p<0.001),配位(β=0.42,p<0.001),和患者受累(β=0.40,p<0.001)。社会支持,特别是来自朋友(β=0.33,p<0.001)和家庭(β=0.28,p<0.001),也是更好的QoL的稳健预测因子。年龄更小,女性性别,婚姻状况,没有慢性疾病与多学科护理带来的QoL改善有关.多学科合作和社会支持网络显着提高老年初级保健患者的QoL。医疗保健系统应优先考虑开发协作护理模式,培养跨学科团队合作,和整合战略,以促进人口老龄化的社会联系。
The growing aging population presents unique challenges in maintaining their quality of life (QoL), which encompasses physical, psychological, and social wellbeing. This study aimed to assess the impact of multidisciplinary collaboration on QoL among older patients receiving primary care. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving a purposive sampling of 200 participants aged 60 years and above from Primary Healthcare Centers in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, between March and May 2024. Data were collected using standardized tools: SF-36 for health-related QoL, Multidisciplinary Collaboration Evaluation Tool (MCET), and Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS). Multivariate regression analyses were performed to examine the associations between multidisciplinary collaboration, social support, and QoL outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration exhibited a significant positive association with improvements in physical functioning (β = 2.35, p < 0.001), mental health (β = 3.01, p < 0.001), and general health perceptions (β = 2.12, p < 0.001). Key drivers of effective collaboration included effective communication (β = 0.48, p < 0.001), coordination (β = 0.42, p < 0.001), and patient involvement (β = 0.40, p < 0.001). Social support, particularly from friends (β = 0.33, p < 0.001) and family (β = 0.28, p < 0.001), was also a robust predictor of better QoL. Younger age, female gender, married status, and absence of chronic conditions were associated with greater QoL improvements from multidisciplinary care. Multidisciplinary collaboration and social support networks significantly enhance QoL among older primary care patients. Healthcare systems should prioritize developing collaborative care models, fostering interdisciplinary teamwork, and integrating strategies to promote social connectedness for the aging population.
