Quality of Life Among Older Adults With Frailty: A Structural Equation Modeling.

Purpose: Frailty is a complex age-related clinical condition among older adults. Quality of life (QOL) among older adults with frailty is an important topic of interest. The current cross-sectional study aimed to develop a structural equation model to identify factors affecting QOL.

Logistic regression technique is comparable to complex machine learning algorithms in predicting cognitive impairment related to post intensive care syndrome.

To evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML) models and to compare it with logistic regression (LR) technique in predicting cognitive impairment related to post intensive care syndrome (PICS-CI). We conducted a prospective observational study of ICU patients at two tertiary hospitals. A cohort of 2079 patients was screened, and finally 481 patients were included.

Prevalence of Frailty and Associated Factors Among Hospitalized Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of frailty and associated factors among hospitalized older adults. It consisted of 184 hospitalized older adults recruited between October 2019 to January 2020. We used the FRAIL scale, Geriatric Depression Scale-15, and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index to collect data.

Factors associated with self-management behaviors of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Aims: To examine self-management behaviors level and discuss the associated factors among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.

Methods: A descriptive study design was used. A convenience sample of 124 COPD patients was recruited from three hospitals in Fuzhou.

Caregiver burden among informal caregivers of hospitalized patients with frailty: A cross-sectional survey.

This study aimed to investigate the status of caregiver burden among informal caregivers of hospitalized frail older patients and explore the associated factors. A total of 191 frail older patients and their informal caregivers were recruited from the inpatient units of the three teaching hospitals. We collected data using the FRAIL scale, the Zarit Burden Interview, and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire.

Attitude of Nurses Toward the Care of Older Adults in China.

The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of registered nurses toward older adults in China. An online questionnaire was sent to registered nurses of five hospitals. The sample included 1,367 registered nurses in this study.
