The relationship between fear of falling and negative emotions and debilitation in elderly patients with end-stage renal disease
Objective To explore the relationship between fear of falling and negative emotions and debilitation in elderly patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods Eighty-four elderly patients with end-stage renal disease from January 2020 to December 2021 were included in this study.The international version of the Falls Efficacy Scale(FES-I)was used for psychological evaluation of fear of falling.There was a fear group and a no-fear group accord-ing to the evaluation results.The anxiety self-assessment scale(SAS),depression self-assessment scale(SDS),and Tilburg Frailty Inventory(TFI)were compared between the two groups.The correlation between FES-I scores and SAS scores,SDS scores,and TFI scores was analyzed.Results Eighty-four elderly patients with end-stage renal disease had FES-I scores(23.38±4.92),including 34 cases in the fear group and 50 cases in the no-fear group.SAS scores and SDS scores were significantly higher in the fear group than in the no-fear group(P＜0.05).The TFI scale somatic,psychological and social scores as well as the total score were significantly lower in the fear group than in the no-fear group(P＜0.05).FES-I scores were negatively correlated with SAS scores and SDS scores and positively correlated with TFI scores in the fear group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Fear of falling is more common in elderly patients with end-stage renal disease,and fear of falling is significantly associated with negative emotions and debilitation in patients.
