Abstract

This study aims to explore the prevalence of self-neglect and associated factors among older adults admitted to the hospital in the COVID-19 pandemic context. The cross-sectional study conducted at a Chinese comprehensive hospital between January and April 2021, 452 older adults were recruited to complete the Abrams Geriatric Self-Neglect Scale, Social Support Rate Scale, FRAIL scale, Barthel index, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with elder self-neglect. The results showed that the prevalence of self-neglect among our sample was 30.3%. Factors that were associated with the risk of elder self-neglect included male, having multiple children (≥4), receiving infrequent visits from children, frailty, and depression. There is a need to screen for self-neglect among older adults admitted to the hospital in the COVID-19 pandemic context. Tailored interventions are warranted to improve the quality of life of older adults.

新冠肺炎大流行时期中国一家综合性医院住院老年人自我忽视的横断面研究

本研究旨在探讨COVID-19大流行背景下入院的老年人自我忽视的患病率及其相关因素。本研究于2021年1月至4月在中国某综合性医院进行，招募452名老年人完成Abrams老年自我忽视量表、社会支持率量表、体弱量表、Barthel指数、患者健康问卷-9和10项Connor-Davidson弹性量表。采用多因素logistic回归分析老年人自我忽视的相关因素。结果显示，我们的样本中自我忽视的患病率为30.3%。与老年自我忽视风险相关的因素包括男性、有多个子女(≥4个)、儿童探望次数少、身体虚弱和抑郁。在COVID-19大流行背景下，有必要对入院的老年人进行自我忽视筛查。有针对性的干预措施是必要的，以改善老年人的生活质量。
