Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status of instrumental activities of daily living among community-dwelling older adults (≥ 75 years old) in China, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From January to May 2023, multi-stage sampling was used to select 1 832 older adults from 27 community health service centers in 9 provinces and cities across China as the research subject. A survey was conducted on older adults using the General Information Questionnaire and the Lawton-Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale. Binomial Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of instrumental activities of daily living among older adults in the community. A total of 1 832 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 746 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 95.30%.Results:Among 1 746 older adults in the community, 1 194 (68.4%) had functional dependence of instrumental activities of daily living. Binomial Logistic regression showed that age, educational level, type of residence, type of chronic disease, regular exercise, self-reported social support, self-reported visual impairment, and self-reported hearing impairment were the influencing factors for the functional dependence of instrumental activities of daily living among older adults in the community ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The instrumental activities of daily living among older adults in communities in China needs to be improved. Nurses can identify high-risk populations in the early stages and develop intervention measures based on the influencing factors of older adults' instrumental activities of daily living.
