养老院居民成功老龄化水平的评价

本研究旨在评估安老院居民的成功老化程度。本描述性研究基于Rowe和Kahn的模型进行。以下方法用于获取参与者的数据:个人幸福指数-成人，卡茨指数，标准化迷你精神状态检查，社会联系量表，计时和走测试，伯格平衡量表和握力测试。成人个人幸福指数、Katz日常生活活动独立性指数、标准化心理状态量表、社会联系量表、Timed Up and Go测验、Berg平衡量表的平均得分分别为51.68±18.60、5.53±1.38、23.57±3.02、25.23±8.89、16.10±8.81和43.48±17.23。参与者患有慢性疾病和糖尿病，分别对成功衰老和身体功能产生不利影响。参与者还具有以下特征:脆弱的认知功能，高跌倒风险，高于平均水平的个人幸福感，可能在生活参与和社会联系方面积极影响老龄化。
