目的:本研究旨在确定社区居住的老年人中虚弱和社会包容的患病率和诱发因素。
方法:本研究采用横断面设计。
方法:目标人群包括在土耳其一个城市的五个家庭健康中心注册的老年人。这项研究是在600名老年人中完成的。
方法:使用蒂尔堡脆弱指标(TFI)和社会包容量表收集数据。
结果:老年人体弱的患病率为60.5%。多因素logistic回归分析显示75岁及以上老年人的衰弱风险较高(2.5倍),受教育程度低的人(5.8倍),那些单身的人(2次),慢性病患者(1.8倍),那些生活方式不健康的人(2.8倍),和那些不满意他们的家庭生活环境(5.9倍)。发现年龄,教育水平,婚姻状况,收入,慢性疾病的存在,生活方式,对他们的家庭生活环境满意,脆弱解释了50%的社会包容差异。
结论:该研究得出结论,大多数社区居住的老年人身体虚弱,在那些脆弱的人群中,社会包容性较低。年龄,教育水平,婚姻状况,生活方式,慢性疾病的存在,他们对家庭生活环境的满意度被发现是脆弱和社会包容的诱发因素。公共卫生护士可以制定预防老年人虚弱的策略,并增加鼓励参与社交生活的活动。
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to identify the prevalence and predisposing factors of frailty and social inclusion among community-dwelling older adults.
METHODS: The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design.
METHODS: The target population consisted of older adults registered in five family health centers in a city in Turkey. The study was completed with 600 older adults.
METHODS: The Tilburg frailty indicator (TFI) and the social inclusion scale were used to collect data.
RESULTS: The prevalence of frailty in older adults was 60.5%. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk of frailty was found to be higher in older adults aged 75 and over (2.5 times), those with low education level (5.8 times), those who were single (2 times), those with chronic diseases (1.8 times), those with unhealthy lifestyle (2.8 times), and those who were dissatisfied with their home living environment (5.9 times). It was found that age, education level, marital status, income, presence of chronic disease, lifestyle, satisfaction with their home living environment, and frailty explained 50% of the variance in social inclusion.
CONCLUSIONS: The study concluded that most community-dwelling older adults were frail, and social inclusion was lower in those frail. Age, education level, marital status, lifestyle, presence of chronic disease, and satisfaction with their home living environment were found to be predisposing factors for both frailty and social inclusion. Public health nurses could develop strategies to prevent frailty in older adults and increase activities that encourage participation in social life.
