Abstract:
Objective To analyze and clarify the concept of intrinsic capacity of the elderly.Methods We searched studies on intrinsic capacity of the elderly from websites and databases,including PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,Embase,CINAHL,China Biomedical Literature Service System databases,CNKI,WanFang databases and VIP.We selected relevant papers from the inception of databases to July 2023 according to inclusion criteria.Rodgers evolutionary method of concept analysis was used.Results A total of 30 articles were retrieved.4 attributes were identified on intrinsic capacity,including:guided by the goal of achieving healthy aging,inherent physiological reserve capacity of individuals,rich and interactive dimensions,and a dynamic and reversible development trajectory.Its prerequisites include demographic factors,socio-economic factors,health-related charac-teristics,external environment,and other factors;post effects include early identification of declining intrinsic abilities in the elderly and timely adoption of targeted intervention measures,which are of great significance for improving the quality of life of the elderly and promoting healthy aging.The decline in intrinsic capabilities is closely related to various adverse health outcomes,posing a serious threat to the health status of the elderly.Conclusion The concept attributes of intrinsic capacity were identified by concept analysis method.In the future,research and clinical practice should be carried out based on the concept of intrinsic capacity.
