SOME FACTORS RELATED TO FATIGUE STATUS IN ELDERLY POST-STROKE PATIENTS
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Objectives: To identify factors related to fatigue status in elderly post-stroke patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study on 157 patients those ages ≥ 60, diagnosed with stroke (according to the World Health Organization - WHO) and examined or treated as inpatients and outpatients at the National Geriatric Hospital, from July to November 2021. Data were collected using designed tools including characteristics of these patients. Entered data on Redcap and used SPSS version 22.0 for analysis. Results: Relevant factors affecting fatigue in elderly patients after stroke were physical activity daily living, cognitive impairment by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), sleep disturbance by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), depression, and malnutrition. Factors that increased the risk of fatigue were age ≥ 60, using medication total, and cognitive decline. Conclusion: Early detection by performing the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) test to screen for fatigue in elderly post-stroke patients can provide appropriate treatment that helps improve treatment effectiveness as well as patients' quality of life.
