Abstract

Objectives By the rapid growth of the elderly population, the need to pay attention to this group becomes more obvious. General self-efficacy, self-control and self-esteem are the effective individual factors for the empowerment of the elderly. This study aims to examine the relationship between these individual aspects of empowerment and general health in older adults attending neighborhood houses in Tehran, Iran. Methods & Materials In this descriptive-analytical study with cross-sectional study design, 320 older men and women over 60 years of age participated who were selected by a cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic form, the 28-item general health questionaire, 10-item general self-efficacy scale, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and Tangney’s brief self-control scale. Data was described using mean and standard deviation, and analyzed using chi-square test, Spearman correlation test, one-way-ANOVA, and linear regression in SPSS sofwtare, version 22. Results The mean age of the elderly was 68.42±8.3 years. Their mean score of general health was 21.95±13.4. A significant negative correlation was found between general health, general self-efficacy, self-esteem and self-control (P<0.001). Their general health had a significant relationship with their educational level (P<0.001), years of employment (P=0.002) and housing status (P<0.001). The multivariate regression results showed that housing status (P=0.156), self-esteem (P<0.001), self-control (P<0.001), and general self-efficacy (P<0.001) were the significant predictors of general health in the elderly. Conclusion There is a relationship between general health, general self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-control of the elderly in Tehran. Their general health is related to their educational level, years of employment, and housing status. Housing status, self-esteem, self-control and general self-efficacy are predictors of their general health. Attention should be paid to these factors in developing health promotion programs for the elderly.
伊朗德黑兰社区老年人赋权个体因素与总体健康的关系
随着老年人口的快速增长,对这一群体的关注变得更加明显。一般自我效能、自我控制和自尊是老年人赋权的有效个体因素。这项研究的目的是检查这些个人方面的授权和一般健康的老年人在德黑兰,伊朗参加邻里住宅之间的关系。方法与材料采用横断面研究设计的描述性分析研究,采用整群抽样的方法选取了320名60岁以上的老年男性和女性。数据收集使用人口统计表格,28项一般健康问卷,10项一般自我效能量表,罗森博格自尊量表和唐尼的简短自我控制量表。数据采用均数和标准差进行描述,在SPSS软件22版中使用卡方检验、Spearman相关检验、单因素方差分析和线性回归进行分析。结果老年人平均年龄68.42±8.3岁。一般健康评分平均为21.95±13.4分。一般健康、一般自我效能、自尊和自我控制之间呈显著负相关(P<0.001)。他们的总体健康状况与他们的教育水平(P<0.001)、工作年限(P=0.002)和住房状况(P<0.001)有显著关系。多因素回归结果显示,住房状况(P=0.156)、自尊(P<0.001)、自我控制(P<0.001)和一般自我效能(P<0.001)是老年人一般健康的显著预测因子。结论德黑兰地区老年人总体健康、总体自我效能、自尊和自我控制之间存在相关性。他们的总体健康状况与他们的教育水平、就业年限和住房状况有关。住房状况、自尊、自我控制和一般自我效能是其总体健康状况的预测因子。在制定老年人健康促进方案时应注意这些因素。
