This article explores factors associated with positive self-perceived health among Canadian seniors who live in health care institutions.
Cross-sectional and longitudinal data are from the institutional and household files of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS).
Prevalence rates of positive self-perceived health were estimated using 1996/97 cross-sectional data from the NPHS. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with positive self-perceived health. With four cycles of longitudinal data, the relationship between positive self-perceived health and mortality was explored using survival analysis.
In 1996/97, 43% of the institutional population aged 65 or older reported positive self-perceived health. Institutional residents with positive self-perceived health had a lower risk of mortality. The odds of positive self-perceived health were higher for those who were usually free of pain and were independent. Participation in social and recreational activities and having a close relationship with at least one staff member of the institution were associated with positive self-perceived health.
本文探讨了居住在医疗机构中的加拿大老年人自我感觉健康良好的相关因素。
横断面数据和纵向数据来自国家人口健康调查（NPHS）的机构和家庭档案。
使用NPHS 1996/97年的横断面数据估计自我感觉健康良好的患病率。采用逻辑回归模型确定与自我感觉健康良好相关的因素。利用四个周期的纵向数据，通过生存分析探讨自我感觉健康良好与死亡率之间的关系。
1996/97年，65岁及以上的机构居民中有43%报告自我感觉健康良好。自我感觉健康良好的机构居民死亡风险较低。通常没有疼痛且独立的人自我感觉健康良好的几率更高。参与社交和娱乐活动以及与机构中至少一名工作人员关系密切与自我感觉健康良好有关。
