Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of sedentary behavior and frailty of the elderly in nursing homes and analyze the correlation between them.Methods:A total of 181 elderly people in 4 nursing homes in Taiyuan from November 2019 to January 2020 were selected by stratified sampling method. General Data Questionnaire, Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire for The Elderly and Tilburg Frailty Index (TFI) were used to investigate the sedentary time and frailty of the elderly. The t-test, analysis of variance and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of sedentary time of the elderly, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between sedentary time and the total TFI score. Results:In the end, a total of 172 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.0%. The total TFI score of 172 elderly in nursing homes was (6.10±3.01) , the incidence of frailty was 69.2% (119/172) and the total sedentary time was (8.31±2.54) h/d. Results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total TFI score was positively correlated with the total sedentary time ( r=0.755, P<0.01) . The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in sedentary time of elderly people of different gender, ages, education levels, marital status, living status and number of illness ( t/F=2.480, 18.998, 33.101, -2.211, 3.967, 54.261; P<0.05) . The results of multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that age, living status, education level and number of illness were independent factors influencing the sedentary time of the elderly (standardized regression coefficients were 0.286, -0.133, -0.155, 0.500; P<0.05) , which could explain 46.8% of the variance. Conclusions:There is a correlation between sedentary behavior of the elderly in nursing homes and their frailty conditions. The longer the elderly sit for a long time, the more severe their frailty conditions will be. Reducing the sedentary time will help improve the frailty conditions of the elderly. Nursing intervention can be carried out by nursing staff in nursing homes from the perspective of sedentary behavior to improve the frailty symptoms of the elderly.
