摘要: Objectives: The aim of this project was to identify variables that predicted older adults’ ability manage medications. Methods: study used a retrospective cohort design and set in self-medication program within rehabilitation hospital. A random sample charts from 301 participants the reviewed. Results: Logistic regression models accounted for 26.7% 55.8% variance probability making one or more errors during initial final weeks program, respectively. importance cognition predicting medication management capacity seen bivariate multivariate analyses through number interactions with other predictors. Statistically significant predictors both included regimen complexity, Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score, duration institutionalization, depression, between (a) complexity MMSE score (b) cook an...
