Abstract
Objective: To understand the influence of characteristic factors of elderly care institutions on the level of self-awareness of the elderly with chronic diseases. Methods: A total of 428 elderly people with chronic diseases in elderly care institutions in Tangshan City were interviewed with the general information questionnaire, the characteristic factors questionnaire of elderly care institutions, and the Chinese version of the self-awareness scale. Results: The total score of the elderly with chronic diseases was 57.65 ± 15.09. Multiple linear regression showed that the influencing factors of the elderly with chronic diseases were household registration, income status, economic source, physical pain status, room number, family visit frequency, activity frequency, and nursing skills (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The general level of self-awareness of the elderly with chronic diseases in the elderly care institutions in Tangshan is average, and there is great room for improvement. The nursing staff in institutions should pay attention to the autonomy of the elderly with chronic diseases, improve their level of self-awareness.
