to analyze the self-care competence in the administration of insulin performed by older people aged 70 or over.
cross-sectional study carried out with 148 older people aged 70 or over, who performed self-administration of insulin. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire and an adapted guide for the application of the Scale to Identify Self-Care Competence of Patients with Diabetes, at the participants' home. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistical tests, with forward logistic regression.
the prevalence of self-care competence in the administration of insulin was 35.1%. Handwashing error was the most frequent in self-administration of insulin. Self-care competence was negatively associated with retirees and positively associated with senior patients who performed capillary blood glucose monitoring and skin pinching during insulin application.
there was low self-care competence and it was associated with both the sociodemographic and the clinical characteristics with regard to self-application of insulin by the older people.
分析70岁及以上老年人胰岛素注射的自我护理能力。
对148名70岁及以上自行注射胰岛素的老年人进行横断面研究。通过结构化问卷和改编后的《糖尿病患者自我护理能力识别量表》应用指南,在参与者家中收集数据。数据分析包括描述性和推断性统计测试以及向前逻辑回归分析。
胰岛素注射自我护理能力的患病率为35.1%。胰岛素自我注射时洗手错误最为常见。自我护理能力与退休人员呈负相关,与胰岛素注射时进行毛细血管血糖监测和捏皮的老年患者呈正相关。
老年人胰岛素自我注射的自我护理能力较低,且与社会人口统计学和临床特征有关。
