Abstract
Objectives
To investigate the association between patient activation and functional limitation among older adults living with multiple chronic conditions.
Methods
We performed a secondary analysis of a parent study, which examined the relationship between self-efficacy and both inflammatory biomarkers and frailty. We conducted multivariate logistic regression while controlling for the patients’ sociodemographic variables and comorbidities to examine the association between self-reported functional limitation and patient activation as measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-10).
Results
We included 159 participants with a mean age of 82.00 ± 6.27 years. While controlling for the patients’ demographic, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities, we found that functional limitation decreases by 16 % (OR 0.84, 95 % CI: 0.75, 0.94, p = 0.002) for every one unit increase in patient activation score.
Conclusion
Higher patient activation scores were associated with decreased odds of functional limitation. Providers may consider the potential value of using behavioral activation strategies to address functional decline.
期刊介绍:
Geriatric Nursing is a comprehensive source for clinical information and management advice relating to the care of older adults. The journal''s peer-reviewed articles report the latest developments in the management of acute and chronic disorders and provide practical advice on care of older adults across the long term continuum. Geriatric Nursing addresses current issues related to drugs, advance directives, staff development and management, legal issues, client and caregiver education, infection control, and other topics. The journal is written specifically for nurses and nurse practitioners who work with older adults in any care setting.
