| dc.description | Objetivo Determinar el desempeño físico, la funcionalidad y su relación con el riesgo de caídas en pacientes adultos mayores hospitalizados en un hospital psiquiátrico del suroccidente colombiano. Métodos En este estudio observacional transversal con componente analítico participaron 51 pacientes. El análisis univariado utilizó frecuencias y porcentajes para variables categóricas. El análisis bivariado comparativo por riesgo de caídas incluyó el valor de probabilidad. La asociación entre funcionalidad, rendimiento físico y riesgo de caída se examinó mediante un modelo de regresión logística. Resultados La edad media era de 67 años (DE: 6,0), el 51 % eran hombres, el 72 % tenían estudios primarios y el 96 % consumían alguna medicación antipsicótica. Según los resultados del modelo logístico, la dependencia leve-moderada (OR=5,56; IC 95 %: 1,24-27,00) y el bajo rendimiento físico son los dos factores que más influyen en el riesgo de caída. Conclusión El bajo rendimiento físico y la dependencia leve-moderada en las actividades cotidianas aumentan el riesgo de caídas en adultos mayores hospitalizados con trastornos mentales. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Aim Determine physical performance, functionality and their relationship with the risk of falls in older adult patients hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in southwestern Colombia. Methods This cross-sectional observational study with an analytical component involved 51 patients. Univariate analysis used frequencies and percentages for categorical variables. Comparative bivariate analysis by risk of falling included the probability value. The association between functionality, physical performance and risk of falling was examined using a logistic regression model. Results The average age was 67 years (SD: 6.0), 51 % were men, 72 % had primary school education and 96 % consumed some antipsychotic medication. According to the results of the logistic model, mild-moderate dependence (OR=5.56, 95 % CI 1.24-27.00) and low physical performance are the two factors that most influence the risk of drop. Conclusion Low physical performance and mild to moderate dependence in daily activities increase the risk of falls in hospitalized older adults with mental disorders. | |
