[Exploring relocation stress and diabetes control in the elderly residents of long-term care facilities].

TITLE: 機構老人遷移壓力與糖尿病血糖控制之相關因素探討 背景: 壓力與血糖控制有顯著性的正相關，但糖尿病老人在非自願性的入住機構常產生遷移壓力而導致血糖不昜控制，此相關研究卻相當缺乏。 METHOD: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive correlation design with a convenience sampling method to recruit 88 elderly diabetes patients who had relocated to a nursing home within the past 1 year. The structural questionnaires used in this study adopted a personal and disease characteristics datasheet and the modified Chinese-version Relocation Appraisal Scale (RAS). SPSS (Window 18.0 version) was used for statistical analyses. 方法: 採描述相關性研究設計。以方便取樣方式選取88位南部五家醫院附設護理機構，入住一年內且診斷為糖尿病之老人。研究工具包括基本屬性問卷及遷移壓力量表。所收集資料以SPSS 18.0版進行分析。 CONCLUSIONS: The result of this study may be referenced to help reduce relocation stress and help improve glycemic control in recently institutionalized seniors with diabetes. 結論／實務應用: 本研究結果可以提供醫護人員在照護新入住機構的糖尿病老人協助血糖控制及發展相關衛生教育計畫之參考。
