Abstract

Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important measure of how health and illness affect the lives of older adults. This study aimed to determine the relationship between frailty, fear of falling, and depression with HRQoL in nursing home eligible community-dwelling older adults. A cross-sectional correlational design and chart review were conducted. Eighty four participants (mean age = 70.33 [SD = 6.33]) were surveyed on frailty, fear of falling, depression and physical and mental health measures of HRQoL. Increased frailty, fear of falling, and depression were associated with decreased physical and mental health and well-being. When controlling for sociodemographics, frailty and fear of falling were predictive of lower physical health and well-being whereas depression was independently predictive of lower mental health and well-being. The results of this study will assist in assessment and targeted interventions for modifiable risk factors that affect the HRQoL of nursing home eligible community-dwelling older adults.

摘要

健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）是衡量健康和疾病如何影响老年人生活的重要指标。本研究旨在确定虚弱、跌倒恐惧和抑郁与养老院合格的社区居住老年人 HRQoL 之间的关系。采用横断面相关性设计和图表回顾进行研究。对 84 名参与者（平均年龄=70.33[SD=6.33]）进行了虚弱、跌倒恐惧、抑郁以及 HRQoL 的身体和心理健康措施的调查。虚弱、跌倒恐惧和抑郁程度的增加与身体和心理健康及幸福感的下降有关。在控制了社会人口统计学因素后，虚弱和跌倒恐惧与较低的身体健康和幸福感相关，而抑郁则与较低的心理健康和幸福感独立相关。本研究的结果将有助于评估和针对影响养老院合格的社区居住老年人 HRQoL 的可改变风险因素进行干预。
