Abstract
Objective
Many older adults in Indonesia decide to live in nursing homes. Living in a nursing home has been associated with the incidence of cognitive decline in older adult that leads to decreasing ability to perform daily activity. This study aimed to determine the association between demographic and clinical characteristics with cognitive functions in older adults living in nursing homes in Indonesia.
Methods
This study used a cross-sectional design and involved 60 older adults in a nursing home. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment instrument. Demographic and clinical characteristics such as age, education level, length of stay in the nursing home, as well as serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and dopamine were studied. Spearman-Rank test was used for data analysis.
Results
Cognitive function of attention had a positive correlation with age (r = 0.314, p = 0.015), length of stay in the nursing home (r = 0.268, p = 0.038), and negative correlation with dopamine serum levels (r = -0.425, p = 0.001). The cognitive function of naming has a positive correlation with age (r = 0.263, p = 0.042).
Conclusions
Age, length of stay, and dopamine levels associated with cognitive function in older adult living in nursing homes. The older adult should be assessed in term of factors associated with cognitive function to make the cognitive improvement programs in nursing homes.
期刊介绍:
Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nursing professionals from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. The aim of the Journal is to promote increased knowledge through the publication of original research and other studies that may help nursing professionals improve their daily practice. This objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Special Articles, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes comments about original articles of special interest written by experts.
