肺阻塞住院老年患者憂鬱狀況的預測因子
Predictors of the Inpatient Elderly Depression of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients
摘要
背景：憂鬱是慢性阻塞性肺病醫療照護中重要的一環，但是目前鮮少研究針對肺阻塞住院老年患者進行探討。目的：旨在探討肺阻塞住院老年患者憂鬱狀況的預測因子。方法：本研究以橫斷式研究設計，方便取樣臺灣地區中部某醫學中心肺阻塞住院老年患者為研究對象，資料收案期間為2015年6月至2016年3月，利用老年憂鬱量表中譯版進行資料蒐集，共發出200份問卷，回收有效問卷200份，採直線複迴歸分析瞭解患者憂鬱的預測因子。結果：顯示患者憂鬱的盛行率為33.5%，性別和教育程度是是患者憂鬱的重要預測因子。結論：本研究結果可提供醫療照護人員日後擬定肺阻塞住院老年患者憂鬱照護計畫及介入研究之參考。

Background: Depression of elderly patients with COPD represents the most important part of COPD healthcare. However, few studies have focused on this issue. Purpose: To explore predictors of the depression of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods: A cross-sectional study and convenience sampling were employed. The Chinese -translated geriatric depression scale (CT-GDS) was used to examine the syndrome of depression. Data collection took place from June 2015 to March 2016. A total of 200 questionnaires were sent and 200 valid questionnaires were returned, in a hospital center in the middle of Taiwan. By applying a multinomial regression model, an empirical analysis was performed to analyze the predictive factors affecting the depression of elderly patients with COPD. Results: In total, 33.5% of the subjects reported clinically meaningful depression. Gender and level of education were considered to be predicting factors of the depression of elderly patients with COPD. Conclusions: The results of the present study provide healthcare professionals with information that might be used to develop better healthcare, and suggests further research on COPD interventions.
