Achieving self-management goals among low income older adults with functional limitations.
Geriatric Nursing 2019 Februrary 23
Although self-management interventions can improve symptoms and disease among older adults, there is a dearth of literature on how self-management behaviors may improve factors related to the older adults' physical function. To fill this gap in the literature, we describe the patient-directed self-management goals in nursing visits that relate to physical function as part of a multi-component program. We analyze the self-management goals and outcomes of 367 low- income older adults with functional limitations who participated in the CAPABLE program: a program to reduce the health effects of impaired physical function in low-income older adults. We focus on the following self-management goals that participants chose with the nurses: pain management, depressive symptoms, incontinence, fall prevention, and communication with healthcare providers. The majority of participants chose pain (50%) or fall prevention (51%) as goals and partially or fully met their goals. Improvements across these areas may lead to improved physical function.
