Life-Space Mobility And Social Support In Elderly Adults With Orthopaedic Disorders
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING PRACTICE(2014)
摘要
The purpose of this cross-sectional survey was to explore relationships between life-space mobility and the related factors in elderly Japanese people who attend orthopaedic clinics. The study measures included surveys of life-space mobility (Life-space Assessment (LSA) score), social support (social network diversity and social ties), physical ability (instrumental self-maintenance, intellectual activity, social role), orthopaedic factors (diseases and symptoms) and demographic information. The questionnaire was distributed to 156 subjects; 152 persons responded, yielding 140 valid responses. Mean age of the sample was 76.0 +/- 6.4 (range, 65-96 years), with 57.9% women (n=81). In a multiple regression analysis, the six factors were significantly associated with LSA. Standardized partial regression coefficients () were gender (0.342), instrumental self-maintenance (0.297), social network diversity (0.217), age (-0.170), difficulty of motion (-0.156) and intellectual activity (0.150), with an adjusted R-2=0.488. These results suggest that outpatient health-care providers need to intervene in not only addressing orthopaedic factors but also promoting social support among elderly Japanese.
