The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing dementia prevention behaviors of the elderly at high risk of dementia based on healthy belief model.
The subjects were 140 elderly at high risk of dementia living at H-gun in Gyeongsanam-do, Republic of Korea.
The Data were collected from April 21 to May 28, 2021 by using structed questionnaires. The Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression by SPSS/WIN 21.0 program.
The results of this study are as follow.
1) the mean score of general health motivation of the elderly at high risk of dementia was 3.96±0.48 (range 0-5). In terms of general health motivation, there were significantly different in age (F=4.17, p=.007), interest in preventing dementia (F=5.59, p=.005), experience in screening for dementia (t=2.95, p=.004).
2) The mean score of the dementia health beliefs of the elderly at high risk of dementia was 2.86±0.44 (range 0-5). the mean scores of the subscales were 2.70±0.74 for perceived susceptibility, 3.07±0.56 for perceived severity, 3.38±0.62 for perceived benefit, 2.22±0.84 for perceived barrier. In terms of perceived susceptibility, there were significantly different in education level (F=6.72, p<.001), underlying disease (t=2.63, p=.009), subjective health status (F=7.75, p=.001), interest in preventing dementia (F=3.96, p=.021). In terms of perceived severity, there were significantly different in underlying disease (t=2.83, p=.006), subjective health status (F=3.09, p=.049), interest in preventing dementia (F=4.44, p=0.14). In terms of perceived benefit, there were significantly different in religion (t=2.28, p=.024), acquaintances with dementia (t=2.45, p=.016), experience in screening for dementia (t=3.71, p<.001), In terms of perceived barrier, there were significantly different in age (F=8.42, p<.001), education level (F=7.21, p<.001), experience in dementia prevention education (t=-6.17, p<.001), the biggest concern about dementia (F=7.59, p<.001).
3) The mean score of the dementia cues to action of the elderly at high risk of dementia was 2.95±0.70 (range 0-5). In terms of the dementia cues to action, there were significantly different in age (F=3.08, p=.030), religion (t=2.21, p=.029), experience in dementia prevention education (t=-3.69, p<.001), experience in screening for dementia (t=2.58, p=.011), The biggest concern about dementia (F=4.44, p=.002).
4) The mean score of the dementia self-efficacy of the elderly at high risk of dementia was 3.49±0.50 (range 0-5). In terms of the dementia self-efficacy, there were significantly different in education level (F=2.46, p=.048), monthly income (F=6.13, p=.003), underlying disease (t=-3.19, p=.002), subjective health status (F=8.76, p<.001).
5) The mean score of dementia prevention behaviors of the elderly at high risk of dementia was 3.47±0.49 (range 0-5). In terms of the dementia prevention behaviors, there were significantly different in age (F=5.26, p=.002), education level (F=3.20, p=.015), religion (t=2.28, p=.026), monthly income (F=4.94, p=.008), underlying disease (t=-2.42, p=.017), subjective health status (F=8.41, p<.001), family with demetia (t=-2.39, p=.018).
6) Dementia prevention behaviors showed significantly positive correlation with general health motivation (r=.21,p=.012). perceived benefit (r=.26, p=.002), and dementia self-efficacy (r=.87, p<.001). Dementia prevention behaviors showed significantly negative correlation with perceived susceptibility (r=-.24, p=.004).
7) The factors influencing dementia prevention behaviors were dementia self-efficacy (β=.82, p<.001), perceived benefit (β=.15, p<.00), 75~79 years old based on the age of 65~69 (β=0.10, p=.018), family with dementia (β=-.09, p=.033), which together explained 78.6% of total variance in dementia prevention behaviors (F=123.60, p<.001).
In conclusion, the level of dementia prevention behaviors of the the elderly at high risk of dementia is moderate. Therefore, it is necessary to increase dementia prevention behaviors of the elderly at high risk of dementia. Dementia self-efficacy, perceived benefit, 75~79 years old based on the age of 65~69, family with dementia were identified as factors influencing dementia prevention behaviors in the elderly at high risk of dementia. Based on the results of this study, it is highly recommended to develop and apply a dementia prevention program that can increase dementia self-efficacy and perceived benefit for improving dementia prevention behavior in the elderly at high risk of dementia
