To assess the quality of life in frail older persons (65+ years) living in nursing homes and to examine differences between quality of life perceptions among different gender and age groups.
Cross-sectional.
Data were collected during 2015-2017 based on two questionnaires (WHOQOL-OLD and WHOQOL-BREF). Seventy-eight older persons living in nursing homes in southern Sweden answered the questionnaires in structured interviews. Descriptive and comparative statistics were used to analyse the data. The study was guided by Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs (TREND) guidelines.
The frail older persons reported low autonomy related to few opportunities to engage in everyday activities and were unable to do the things they liked to do and not feeling in control of their future. Another important result was that frail older persons seemed to have no or little fear of death and dying. No significant differences between gender or age on quality of life were revealed.
评估居住在养老院中的体弱老年人(65 岁以上)的生活质量,并考察不同性别和年龄组对生活质量的感知差异。
横断面研究。
数据收集于 2015 年至 2017 年,基于两份问卷(WHOQOL-OLD 和 WHOQOL-BREF)。78 名居住在瑞典南部养老院的老年人通过结构化访谈回答了问卷。采用描述性和比较性统计方法对数据进行分析。研究遵循非随机设计评估的透明报告(TREND)指南。
体弱老年人报告在自主性方面存在困难,几乎没有机会参与日常活动,无法做自己喜欢做的事情,也无法掌控自己的未来。另一个重要结果是,体弱老年人似乎对死亡和临终没有恐惧或恐惧程度较低。在生活质量方面,没有发现性别或年龄的显著差异。
