Psychometric properties of the Frailty Scale in elderly Ecuadorians and correlation analysis with nutritional status and global maltreatment
Keywords:
psychometric properties, mistreatment, older adults, frailty, nutritional status.Abstract
The general objective was to analyze the psychometric properties of the feasibility scale in the Ecuadorian elderly and to determine whether frailty is associated with nutritional status and global mistreatment of the elderly, with the purpose of generating public policies that contribute to the reduction of mistreatment of the elderly. A study of the psychometric properties was carried out by means of an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, in addition, a non-experimental, quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional, and prospective research was conducted with a sample of 195 older adults ≥ 60 years old belonging to the city of Cuenca through a non-probabilistic sampling. As results, women predominated in 61%, rural and urban residence in 50%, married marital status in 53.5%, academic level secondary level in 47.1%, medium socioeconomic level in 62.3%, with a total global mistreatment of 19.7%, where the female sex evidenced significant differences in physical mistreatment (p=0. 01), finally, it was evidenced that nutritional status was positively correlated with frailty in both urban and rural residence (r = 0.67, rural r = 0.68), rural r = 0.68); rural r = 0.68), but there is no relationship between frailty and nutritional status and maltreatment. In conclusion, this study will contribute to future research, and it is recommended that more research be conducted on this problem, especially on the factors that trigger mistreatment to contribute to the generation of public policies that benefit older adults and help them to better manage their old age.
