老年慢性病患者备灾状况及相关因素研究

Disaster Preparedness and Related Factors among Older Adults with Chronic Diseases

目的老年慢性病患者备灾状况与其一般状况和健康状况的关系。方法于2018年10月在成都某三甲医院举办的义诊活动中,选取165名老年人为研究对象,采用问卷调查的方式收集其一般状况、健康状况与备灾水平的关系。结果只有少数家庭拥有完整的备灾物资、紧急疏散方案和足够3日备用的药物。患有慢性病的老年人比健康的老年人更可能储备足够3日备用的药物。结论对患有慢性病的老年人进行整体评估并直接征求其意见有利于提高其备灾水平,评估结果和征求的意见应及时转化为备灾的实际行动。

Objective To study the association of health status and chronic diseases,respectively,with disaster preparedness among elder adults with chronic disease.Methods In October 2018,165 elderly people were selected as the study subjects to collect the relationship between their general status,health status and disaster preparedness level in a three-A hospital in Chengdu.Results A relatively small percentage of households had a complete set of disaster preparedness supplies,an emergency evacuation plan and a three-day supply of medications.Respondents with multiple chronic diseases were generally more likely to have a three-day supply of medications in comparison with their healthier counterparts.Conclusion To improve preparedness among vulnerable older adults,a holistic assessment of directly canvassing the views of older people is necessary and should be transferred into practical conditions of disaster preparedness.
