To assess whether the Mini-Mental State Examination, second edition (MMSE-2), scores were associated with the category of functional independence of nursing-home residents and the level of accommodation services they received.
This cross-sectional study enrolled 248 participants older than 65 residing in five county-owned nursing homes in the city of Zagreb from 2017 to 2019. Cognitive status was assessed with the standard version of the MMSE-2, and the level of functional independence with the modified Barthel scale index. We collected data on demographic, clinical, and social characteristics, including the level of accommodation services (I-III).
MMSE scores were associated with the category of functional independence (χ2=21.11; P<0.001) and the level of accommodation services provided to nursing-home residents (χ2=38.87; P<0.001).
Cognitive impairment should be determined in nursing-home residents to facilitate the planning of long-term institutional care and the implementation of the prescribed standards based on the level of accommodation services.
评估简易精神状态检查表第二版(MMSE - 2)评分是否与养老院居民的功能独立类别以及他们所接受的住宿服务水平相关。
这项横断面研究纳入了2017年至2019年居住在萨格勒布市五家国有养老院的248名65岁以上的参与者。使用MMSE - 2标准版本评估认知状态,使用改良巴氏量表指数评估功能独立水平。我们收集了人口统计学、临床和社会特征数据,包括住宿服务水平(I - III级)。
MMSE评分与功能独立类别(χ2 = 21.11;P < 0.001)以及提供给养老院居民的住宿服务水平(χ2 = 38.87;P < 0.001)相关。
应确定养老院居民的认知障碍情况,以便根据住宿服务水平促进长期机构护理规划和规定标准的实施。
