Our purpose was to compare recipient and caregiver perception of the quality of life (QoL) of people with dementia in residential care facilities and to identify the factors associated with their perception of QoL.
Residents' QoL was evaluated by both the patient and the caregiver, using the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease and several other indices.
The correlation between the self-rated QoL score and the staff-rated QoL score was low.
The staff tended to underestimate QoL. The main determinants of QoL were the functional status and depression. Improving physical function and mood may be beneficial in providing a better QoL.
本研究旨在比较居住在养老院的痴呆患者及其照料者对其生活质量(QoL)的感知,并确定与其 QoL 感知相关的因素。
使用阿尔茨海默病患者生活质量量表和其他几个指标,由患者和照料者分别对患者的 QoL 进行评估。
自我评估的 QoL 评分与工作人员评估的 QoL 评分之间相关性较低。
工作人员往往低估了 QoL。QoL 的主要决定因素是功能状态和抑郁。改善身体功能和情绪可能有助于提供更好的 QoL。
