Abstract:

Objective

To investigate and analyze the cognition level of VTE and its influencing factors of the elderly in the communities, so as to provide scientific support for developing and implementing VTE prevention strategies among the elderly in the communities.

Methods

A total of 910 community elderly people (age≥60 years ) from 5 regions in Hunan province were selected by stratified random sampling method. The general information questionnaire, the VTE cognition level questionnaire, the training willingness questionnaire and the Padua Thrombosis Risk Assessment Form were used to conduct the investigation. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of VTE cognitive level.

Results

Among the elderly in communities, 7.96% were at high-risk of VTE, 16.59% were aware of VTE, and 64.38% were willing to receive training. There were statistically significant differences in cognitive level scores among study subjects with different age, educational level, VTE history, training willingness, and body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational level, BMI, and training willingness were the main influencing factors of VTE cognitive level (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The proportion of high-risk VTE population among the elderly in communities in Hunan Province was high, while the cognitive level was low, and they had a strong willingness to receive training. The elderly with low educational level or high BMI have a lower level of VTE cognition. The ones with strong training willingness have a higher level of VTE cognition. It is urgent to take a series of measures to improve cognitive level, and developing early prevention of VTE among the elderly in the communities.

Key words: The elderly in the communities, Venous thromboembolism, Cognitive level, Influencing factors
