Abstract

Background: Elderly is one of the most important and critical periods of life, and paying attention to the issues and problems of this period is very important. Objectives: The present study was performed to investigate the relationship between pain and disability in the elderly with dementia in 2021. Methods: In the present cross-sectional descriptive study, 120 elderly people with dementia were included. The instruments used in the four sections were the demographic profile form, the P-APS pain observation tool, and Stanford Disability Questionnaire questions. the researcher identified the elderly with dementia by available sampling method and if the elderly with dementia were eligible and written informed consent was obtained from the elderly and their primary caregivers, the questionnaires were completed. Conditions of pain and disability were described by descriptive tests, and then the relationship between pain and the degree of disability in patients was analyzed by statistical analysis using SPSS16 software. Results: The results showed mean (SD) pain score was 14.45 (4.23), disability score was 12.75 (3.09), and fall score was 37 (30.8%). According to pain score status classification, 4 (3.3%) of the elderly had no pain, 8 (6.7%) had mild pain, 27 (22.5%) had moderate pain, and 81 (67.5%) had severe pain. There is a significant relationship between pain status and disability in the elderly with dementia. By increase in pain, the patients had more disability (P = 0.000, F = 79.971). Conclusions: As the pain increased, the disability of the elderly with dementia decreased. For this reason, preventive interventions are explained in this field.

老年痴呆患者疼痛与残疾的关系

背景：老年人是生命中最重要、最关键的时期之一，关注这一时期的问题和问题非常重要。目的：本研究旨在调查2021年老年痴呆患者疼痛与残疾之间的关系。方法：在本横断面描述性研究中，纳入了120名老年痴呆患者。四个部分中使用的工具是人口概况表、P-APS疼痛观察工具和斯坦福残疾问卷问题。研究人员通过现有的抽样方法确定了老年痴呆症患者，如果老年痴呆症符合条件，并获得了老年人及其主要照顾者的书面知情同意，则完成了问卷调查。通过描述性测试描述疼痛和残疾情况，然后使用SPSS16软件进行统计分析，分析疼痛与患者残疾程度的关系。结果：结果显示，平均（SD）疼痛评分为14.45（4.23），残疾评分为12.75（3.09），跌倒评分为37（30.8%）。根据疼痛评分状态分类，4名（3.3%）老年人没有疼痛，8名（6.7%）轻度疼痛，27名（22.5%）中度疼痛，81名（67.5%）重度疼痛。老年痴呆患者的疼痛状况与残疾之间存在显著关系。随着疼痛的增加，老年痴呆患者的残疾程度增加（P=0.000，F=79.971）。结论：随着疼痛的加重，老年痴呆的残疾程度降低。因此，在这一领域解释了预防性干预措施。
