Abstract
- Objectives: To identify the associated factors of self-neglect in older adults from a salutogenic perspective.<br />Methods: A cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in two communities in Beijing with 486 older adults recruited from April to December 2022. Data were collected by a set of questionnaires.<br />Results: Sense of coherence (β=-0.138), socio-demographic generalized resistance resources (GRRs) (smoking: β=0.156), social GRRs (living alone: β=0.093), psychological GRRs (self-esteem: β=-0.126), and motivational GRRs (powerful others locus of control: β=-0.199, chance locus of control: β=0.119) were all associated with self-neglect among older adults (p<0.05).<br />Conclusions: Sense of coherence and GRRs are vital to improve self-neglect in older adults. It is suggested to increase the level of self-esteem and the tendency of the health locus of control to largely facilitate self-neglect management in older adults.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest No potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.
