JAMDA:DSI会导致疗养院老人患者失常

2015-04-02 QQduhq 译 MedSci原创

目标:
我们试验的目的是探究疗养院里的患者视力和听力同时存在障碍的双重感觉障碍(DSI)与表现出新的行为特征之间的关联。


研究方式:
我们历时12个月,研究捷克斯洛伐克、英国、芬兰、法国、德国、以色列、意大利、新西兰的59家疗养院里共1524名处于DSI边缘但无症状出现的老人。12个月后,经过培训的专业人员根据国际养老服务标准对疗养院等长期护理机构进行评估。

结果:
总而言之,有11%的居民在为期12月的随访追踪中,出现新的行为特征(神志恍惚、出言不逊、进行身体虐待、在公众面前出现不恰当行为、公众面前裸露躯体、拒绝照顾)。我们使用多变量分析调整潜在的混杂因素,我们发现,在12个月的随访中,DSI患者出现新的行为表现的几率明显高于无DSI的人群,且与视力和听力障碍程度无关,相比无感觉障碍的人群而言,轻度DSI:优势比为2.1,95%可信区间为1.3到3.4;中度DSI:优势比为2.5,95%可信区间为1.6到4.0;重度DSI:优势比为2.1,95%可信区间为1.2到3.7。相比患者出现的行为特征不同类型之间的差异,仅仅辱骂行为与DSI关联不大。

结论:
这项研究为关于DSI对养老院里的患者出现的行为表现及其演变和发展起到至关重要的作用。我们应该更多关注DSI疾病及患病患者,即便患者的视力和听力功能受损程度非常轻微。

小编觉得,对于疗养院里的老人出现这些失常的行为特征,我们不仅要关注他们的健康状况,更要关注他们的心理健康。身体原因固然是起到了相当的作用,但是心理问题也很严重。我们作为护理人员,应该多与老人沟通,及时发现他们失常的表现和根本原因,关注DSI和其他因素对他们生活的影响,了解他们内心深处的真实想法和根本诉求,只有从根本上解决问题,才能对他们的身体和心理健康起作用。
