摘要

老人跌倒問題一直是公共衛生研究中的一項重要議題。研究顯示，65歲以上的老人每年平均有1/3會發生跌倒。老人發生跌倒事件後，除了對個人生理及社會經濟造成影響外，跌倒也會對生活及心理造成影響。本研究主要目的為探討高齡者的跌倒自我效能、日常生活能力與跌倒風險三者之間的關係，藉由研究結果協助醫療照護機構或是居家照護者更有效的預防老人跌倒事件的發生。透過問卷調查的方式，於2011年1月至5月期間蒐集129份桃園地區65歲以上的高齡者樣本，透過簡單迴歸與二元邏輯斯迴歸，找出老人跌倒的關鍵因子。研究結果發現，日常生活能力與跌倒自我效能分別對跌倒風險具有相關性；且研究也另外發現婚姻情況也與跌倒風險相關。

Elderly fall is regarded as one of the most important issues in the area of public health research. Studies have revealed that people who are 65 years old and above have a one-third chance of falling annually in average. Falling events not only inflict physical injuries and incur costs, but also cause psychological problems and life in the elderly. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the falls self-efficacy, daily activities, and fall risk of the elderly to help healthcare organizations and home caregivers reduce the events of elderly fall. Between January 2011 and May 2011, surveys and interviews were conducted with 129 people aged 65 years and above in Taoyuan county, Taiwan. Simple regression and binary logistic regression techniques were used to determine the key falling factors. Results indicate that falls self-efficacy, daily activities, and marital status were associated with fall risk in the elderly.
