to assess the association between risk of violence and frailty syndrome among hospitalized older adults.
quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional research, carried out with older adults in two university hospitals. Data collection was performed using the Brazil Old Age Schedule, Hwalek-Sengstock Elder Abuse Screening Test and Edmonton Frail Scale instruments. It was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
risk of violence was higher among women (68.9%), over 70 years old (64.7%), with more than 3 years of study (68.9%), without relationship (67.1%), who do not work (65.1%) and with income above 1 minimum wage (65.2%). There is a significant association between risk of violence and frailty (72.3%; p<0.001) and a positive correlation between the instrument scores (r=0.350; p-value<0.001).
risk of violence was associated with being female and frailty. The study is expected to encourage further discussions related to the theme and nursing practice.
评估住院老年人中暴力风险与衰弱综合征之间的关联。
这是一项在两所大学附属医院进行的老年人的定量、分析和横断面研究。使用巴西老年计划、Hwalek-Sengstock 虐待筛查测试和埃德蒙顿脆弱量表这三种工具进行数据收集。采用描述性统计和推断性统计进行分析。
暴力风险在女性(68.9%)、70 岁以上(64.7%)、受教育年限超过 3 年(68.9%)、无伴侣(67.1%)、无工作(65.1%)和收入超过 1 个最低工资(65.2%)的老年人中更高。暴力风险与衰弱之间存在显著关联(72.3%;p<0.001),并且工具评分之间存在正相关(r=0.350;p 值<0.001)。
暴力风险与女性和衰弱有关。该研究有望鼓励进一步讨论与该主题相关的问题和护理实践。
