Abstract

To identify the gains in elderly functional independence through the implementation of the rehabilitation nursing program, a pilot study involving the quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional case study methodology was applied to an accidental sample of elderly people, with only two persons having completed the previously defined intervention program. The Rikli and Jones functional fitness test for older adults exercises, such as a rehabilitation nursing exercise program and the Barthel scale, were used to measure the functional independence of the elderly in the performance of activities of daily living. From the implementation of the rehabilitation nursing program to the elderly who concluded it in its entirety, the results show global gains in the functional aptitude program and an improvement in functional independence with gains in most activities of daily living. An improvement in the functional independence of elderly people who participated in the rehabilitation nursing program involving the functional fitness exercises of Rikli and Jones was verified.

老年人功能独立康复护理计划

为了确定通过实施康复护理计划获得的老年人功能独立性的收益，一项涉及定量，描述性和横断面案例研究方法的试点研究应用于老年人的偶然样本，其中只有两人完成了先前定义的干预计划。采用Rikli和Jones老年人运动功能体能测试(如康复护理运动项目)和Barthel量表来衡量老年人在日常生活活动表现中的功能独立性。从康复护理计划的实施到完整完成该计划的老年人，结果显示功能倾向计划的整体收益和功能独立性的改善，以及大多数日常生活活动的收益。参与Rikli和Jones的功能健身训练的康复护理项目的老年人的功能独立性得到了改善。
