“…24 Assessment of QOL Patients' QOL was measured using the Chinese version of the SF-36 which has been widely used in different populations. 20,[27][28][29][30][31] It has been confirmed with good reliability and validity in Chinese patients with hypertension. 4 SF-36 is a self-administered questionnaire including 36 items divided into two aggregate summaries indicating patients' physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS).…”

“…18,19 Aili's survey performed in the USA concluded that positive expectations regarding aging were associated with better physical function. 20 Other studies had found the role of SPA in subjective health and life satisfaction. 7,21,22 SPA of the elderly with chronic diseases in China showed more negative SPA than the normal group, 16 thus may impact their QOL.…”

Background In China, quality of life (QOL) of the elderly with hypertension was lower than that of normal elderly and lower self‐perceptions of aging (SPA) in the elderly with chronic diseases have been shown. Previous studies showed that SPA played a key role in QOL of the elderly. We hypothesised that SPA were associated with QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension, with more negative SPA predicting lower QOL. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted in one comprehensive hospital, 15 urban community clinics and 22 rural village clinics in Suzhou. In total, 1029 Chinese elderly with hypertension completed the self‐administered questionnaires, including socio‐demographic and clinical characteristics, aging perceptions questionnaire which contained seven dimensions and Medical Outcomes Study 36‐item Short Form Health Survey evaluating QOL which included physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). Results Correlation analysis between SPA and QOL showed that most dimensions of SPA were correlated with PCS and MCS, except for Emotional Representations not correlated with MCS. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed: the dimensions Timeline Chronic (B = −2.651, P < 0.001), Consequences Negative (B = −2.155, P < 0.001) and Emotional Representations (B = −2.672, P < 0.001) had a negative association with PCS, while Timeline Cyclical (B = 1.401, P = 0.023), Consequences Positive (B = 1.200, P = 0.011) and Control Positive (B = 1.425, P = 0.004) had a positive association with PCS; the dimensions Timeline Cyclical (B = −1.734, P < 0.001) and Consequences Negative (B = −1.646, P < 0.001) had a negative association with MCS, while Timeline Chronic (B = 1.313, P < 0.001), Consequences Positive (B = 0.962, P = 0.012), Control Positive (B = 2.453, P < 0.001) and Control Negative (B = 1.860, P < 0.001) had a positive association with MCS. Conclusions Our results suggest that negative SPA tended to be associated with lower QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension. Some measures to improve unhealthy negative SPA should be delivered to improve QOL in Chinese elderly with hypertension.

“…In wealthy persons, positive expectations regarding aging were associated with better physical function while getting old, as well as with increased longevity. Vice versa, those with more negative expectations were less likely to report engaging in physical activity [21]. The issue of keeping the locus of control maintains its basic importance for elderly individuals with somatic health problems [22] [23].…”

Aim: Person-centered care is a core issue in rehabilitation; the study aims at: 1) enquiring the outcome expectations of patients in a geriatric rehabilitation ward; 2) matching outcome expectations with actual outcomes. Methods: Expectations of 186 patients [79.4 (8.7) years, 70% females] analyzed through a questionnaire. 80.6% of patients were discharged home; functional recovery = 17.7 (22) points in Barthel Index total score, and 5 (4.2) points in Barthel Index walking sub-score; also conditions with nursing needs improved significantly. Results: Patients' expectations were coded as: functional (31.4%), overall (29.6%), and clinical improvement (21.5%), discharge home (7%); no answers or explicit lack of expectations (7.5%). Walking ability recovery differed according to outcome expectations. Highest improvements were achieved by patients wishing clinical improvement, followed by those expecting functional or overall improvement (5 points) [p = 0.009 (Welch)/p = 0.041 (BrownForsythe)]; worst improvement in walking ability (2.8 points) were got by patients faulting or declaring explicit failure of expectations. Conditions with nursing needs improved most in those expecting clinical improvements [p = 0.029 (Brown-Forsythe)], and less in case of expectation default. No further matching was found. Conclusions: Improvement in actual outcomes matched expected improvements in two circumstances: recovery in walking ability and in conditions with nursing needs. The high yield of different favorable outcomes may have masked the statistical significance for correspondence between actual and expected results. Special attention is worthy towards patients How to cite this paper:
