Abstract:
Objective:To analyze categories and influencing factors of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF) based on latent profile analysis for providing references on improving their levels of fall risk perception.Methods:During December 2022 and July 2023, the elderly inpatients with CHF were selected as survey subjects through convenience sampling from department of geriatrics of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, and they were taken a cross-sectional investigation using a general information questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Multidimensional Chronic Disease Self-management Effectiveness Scale, Nurse-patient Trust Scale and Fall Risk Perception Questionnaire for Patients.Their categories of fall risk perception were analyzed by latent profile analysis.The influence factors of their different categories of fall risk perception were analyzed by unordered multi-class Logistic regression analysis.Results:There were 279 patients in final investigation, which contained 148 males and 131 females, and their age were during 60 to 78 (68.58 ± 6.37) years old. The score of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF was (42.12 ± 13.74).Among the fall risk perception categories of elderly CHF patients, the percentage of patients low risk perception group was 12.55% (35/279), percentage of patents from physical risk perception group was 17.20%(48/279), percentage of patents from environmental risk perception group was 56.99% (159/279) and percentage of patents from high risk perception group was 13.26% (37/279).Compared to high-risk perception group, unordered multi-class logistic regression analysis showed that male, no fall experience, self-management effectivenessand level of patient′s trust on nursewere significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of low risk perception group ( OR values were 0.023-55.980, all P<0.05); no having other chronic diseases, less than 5 years long course of disease, 5 to 10 years long course of disease, self-management effectiveness and level of trusting nurse were significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of physical risk resulting in perception group ( OR values were 0.027-1.711, all P<0.05); less than 7 days long hospital stay, 7 to 14 days long hospital stay, abnormal vision, self-management effectiveness and level of patient′s trust on nurse were significant influencing factors of fall risk perception of environmental risk resulting in perception group ( OR values were 0.907-6.482, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The level of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF was low and could be divided into low risk perception group, physical risk perception group, environmental risk perception group and high risk perception group. Their fall risk perception was influenced by gender, fall experience, having chronic diseases, course of disease, hospital stay, abnormal vision, self-management effectiveness, and level of patient′s trust on nurse.Clinical medical staff should provide personalized health education to different categories of fall risk perception of elderly inpatients with CHF, in order to improve their level of fall risk perception.
