Abstract
ObjectiveTo research the current status of self-perceived burden (SPB) in elderly patients with hypertension combined with coronary heart disease (CHD), and analyze their influencing factors.
MethodsA total of 452 elderly patients with hypertension combined with coronary disease from six centers were selected as the research object, and were investigated with self-designed patients′ general information questionnaire, self-perceived burden scale (SPBS), FRAILscale, geriatric depression scale (GDS-15), Barthel index (BI) questionnaire, family APGAR index (FAI) and simple nutritional evaluation method (MNA-SF).
ResultsThe range of SPB score in elderly patients was 10~47 points. The score of SPB of elderly patients with hypertension combined with CHD was (23.99±8.13) points, which was at mild to moderate level, and 71% of the elderly patients with hypertension combined with CHD showed different in level of SPB. The influencing factors of self-perceived burden were the place of residence (P<0.001), self-care ability (P=0.005), depression (P=0.023), and the recent health status (P=0.028).
ConclusionsThe elderly patients with hypertension combined with CHD commonly experience mild to moderate level of self-perceived burden, and we should take positive measures to alleviate their SPBaimed at the main influencing factors.
