Effect of age on self-efficacy of patients with limbs fracture

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of age on self-efficacy of patients with limbs fracture, effective intervention measures should be taken to improve the prognosis of fracture patients. Methods A total of 210 patients with limbs fracture from January 2017 to April 2019 were selected as research object, and they were divided into group A( 60 years old group)35 cases according to the differences of ages. Then the General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES) and visual simulation were used to evaluate self-efficacy in six groups, and the evaluation results were compared to analyze the influence of age on treatment efficacy in patients with limb fracture. Results There was no significant difference in GSES scale and self-efficacy between group A and group B (P > 0.05). The proportion of low score and low self-efficacy score of group A and group B was significantly lower than that of group C, D, E and F, the proportion of high score of GSES scale and high score of self-efficacy was significantly higher than that of group C, D, E and F, the proportion of those with low GSES scores and low self-efficacy scores in group C, D, E and F increased in turn, while those with high GSES scores and high self-efficacy scores decreased in turn, and the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2 value was 10.09-50.86, all P < 0.05). Conclusions The treatment efficacy of patients with limbs fracture in different ages have obvious differences,and the treatment efficacy of patients should be paid more intervention with the age increasing. Therapeutic efficacy of elderly patients is gradually decreasing,clinical intervention should be paid attention to the treatment efficacy of elderly patients.
