| Summary: | Objective: This study aimed to evaluate pain, activities of daily living, depression, anxiety, and stress levels in frail individuals.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 264 people who applied to family medicine outpatient clinics between February and March 2023. Strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire and Frail scale; pain levels using the visual analog scale; mood changes and stress levels using the depression anxiety stress scale; and functionality and autonomy in daily life using the Katz activities of daily living Scale (KATZ-ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living scale (IADL). Participants were diagnosed as frail according to the results of the Frail scale and divided into groups (frail, pre-frail, non-frail). p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Among the participants, 28.8% were frail, 48.5% were pre-frail, and 22.7% were non-frail. The median age was 73.15±6.13 years in the frail group, 71.43±5.09 years in the pre-frail group and 69.63±4.93 years in the non-frail group. SARC-F was significantly higher in the frail group (p<0.05). KATZ-ADL and IADL scores were significantly lower in the frail group than in the non-frail or pre-frail group (p<0.05). DASS-anxiety (p=0.413) and DASS-stress (p=0.068) did not show a significant difference between the frail and non-frail groups, while there was a significant difference in other group comparisons (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Autonomy in daily life was found to be lower and pain, negative mood changes, and stress levels were higher in vulnerable individuals in our study. |
