| Abstract: |
| Objective To clarify the current situation of self-care ability of daily living and cognitive function in elderly inpatients from an upper first-class hospital in Haikou, Hainan Province, and to analyze the correlation between their self-care ability and cognitive function. Methods The general information questionnaire, Barthel index rating scale, and mini-mental state examination were used to evaluate 219 elderly inpatients from Department of Geriatrics of the hospital from July 2019 to October 2019. SPSS statistics 22.0 was used to perform the statistical analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was employed to analyze the correlation between self-care ability and cognitive function. Results Of 219 elderly patients, 185 (84.5%) showed impaired self-care ability at different severities. Significant difference was seen in the ability among the elderly patients at different ages (H=15.34, P<0.05). There were 125 (57.1%) patients presenting cognitive impairment at different levels. There was a statistical difference in cognitive function among those with different education levels (H=9.57, P<0.05). Self-care ability of daily living was positively correlated with overall cognitive function in elderly inpatients (r=0.26, P<0.01). Conclusion Elderly inpatients have higher prevalence of impaired self-care ability of daily living and cognitive impairment, and the two abilities are positively correlated. |
