Abstract

Objective

To investigate the health value and self-care capabilities of the elderly living in urban-rural fringe area nursing homes and the factors that influence these variables.

Methods

A cluster sampling method was used to select 280 elderly individuals from seven urban-rural fringe communities in Xianning to complete a survey regarding their health value and self-care capabilities.

Results

The total health value and self-care capability scores of the elderly were 7.45 ± 1.45 and 100.25 ± 22.56, respectively. Both of these scores significantly differed by age, education level, marital status, and income (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Self-care capability was correlated with health value (r = 0.521). A multivariate linear regression analysis showed that health value, marital status, and age predicted self-care capability.

Conclusions

Elderly people living in the urban-rural fringe area with higher health values also had higher self-care capabilities. The self-care capabilities of the elderly can be enhanced by improving their health value using the “knowing-trusting-acting” model.

城乡结合部老年人健康价值、生活自理能力及影响因素调查

目的了解城乡结合部老年人的健康价值、生活自理能力及其影响因素。方法采用整群抽样的方法，对咸宁市7个城乡结合部社区的280名老年人进行健康价值和生活自理能力调查。结果老年人健康总分为7.45±1.45分，生活自理能力得分为100.25±22.56分。年龄、受教育程度、婚姻状况和收入差异显著(P <0.05, P <0.01)。自我照顾能力与健康值相关(r = 0.521)。多元线性回归分析显示，健康状况、婚姻状况、年龄对自我照顾能力有预测作用。结论城乡结合部老年人的健康价值较高，其生活自理能力也较高。通过“知-信-行”模式，提高老年人的健康价值，提高老年人的自理能力。
