Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of oral frailty in elderly diabetic patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select elderly diabetic patients hospitalized at Henan Cancer Hospital and Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2023 to May 2024. The general information questionnaire, Oral Frailty Index-8 (OFI-8) , Short Form of Health Literacy Dental Scale (HeLD-14) , Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) , and the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS) were used to collect data. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the influencing factors of oral frailty in elderly diabetic patients.Results:A total of 235 questionnaires were distributed, and 220 valid questionnaires were returned, with an effective response rate of 93.62% (220/235) . The incidence of oral frailty in elderly diabetic patients was 46.82% (103/220) . The binary Logistic regression analysis showed that glycated hemoglobin, dry mouth, remaining teeth, nutritional risk, oral health literacy, and diabetes distress were significant influencing factors for the occurrence of oral frailty in elderly diabetic patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The current status of oral frailty in elderly diabetic patients is concerning. Healthcare providers should pay attention to the oral health status of elderly diabetic patients and provide targeted nursing interventions and recommendations based on the influencing factors of oral frailty, in order to reduce its occurrence.
