如何延緩年長人士內在能力的衰退? How to manage declines in intrinsic capacity? |
| 隨著人均壽命延長，因能力衰退而需要他人照顧日常生活的人數將會不繼增加。世界衞生組織於2017年出版 名為"Integrated care for older people: Guidelines on community-level interventions to manage declines in intrinsic capacity (ICOPE)"的指南，製訂一套以家居為本的介入方法，以減慢或扭轉年長人士的內在能力下降程度。 指南參考了30位世界各地包括研究所所長胡令芳教授在內的老年學醫學專家的意見，內容涵蓋營養不良、行動力下降、失禁、跌倒、聽力和視力障礙、抑鬱、認知、行為和心理問題等題目。 With more people living longer there will be larger numbers of people experiencing declines in physical and mental capacity who may also need care for day-to-day activities. The World Health Organization (WHO) had published the "Integrated care for older people: Guidelines on community-level interventions to manage declines in intrinsic capacity (ICOPE)" in 2017, which sets out a set of home-based interventions for older people to slow down or reverse declines in intrinsic capacity. Developed with support from 30 experts in geriatric medicine including the Director of the Institute Professor Jean Woo, the Guidelines cover a variety of issues such as malnutrition, mobility loss, urinary incontinence, falls, hearing and vision impairment, depression, cognitive, behavioural and psychological problems
Recommendations extracted from the Guidelines:
|
|
| Module I: Declining physical and mental capacities | |
|
Mobility loss |
Recommendation 1:
Multimodal exercise, including progressive strength resistance training and other exercise components (balance flexibility and aerobic training), should be recommended for older people with declining physical capacity, measured by gait speed, grip strength and other physical performance measures. |
|
Malnutrition |
Recommendation 2:
Oral supplemental nutrition with dietary advice should be recommended for older people affected by undernutrition. |
|
Visual impairment |
Recommendation 3:
Older people should receive routine screening for visual impairment in the primary care setting, and timely provision of comprehensive eye care. |
|

|
Cognitive impairment |
Recommendation 5:
Cognitive stimulation can be offered to older people with cognitive impairment, with or without a formal diagnosis of dementia. |
|
Depressive symptoms |
Recommendation 6:
Older adults who are experiencing depressive symptoms can be offered brief, structured psychological interventions, in accordance with WHO mhGAP intervention guidelines, delivered by health care professional with a good understanding of mental health care for older adults. |
| Module II: Geriatric syndromes | |
|
Urinary incontinence |
Recommendation 7:
Prompted voiding for the management of urinary incontinence can be offered for older people with cognitive impairment. Recommendation 8: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), alone or combined with bladder control strategies and self-monitoring, should be recommended for older women with urinary incontinence (urge, stress or mixed) |
|
Risk of falls |
Recommendation 9:
Medication review and withdrawal (of unnecessary or harmful medication) can be recommended for older people at risk of falls. Recommendation 10: Multimodal exercise (balance, strength, flexibility and functional training) should be recommended for older people at risk of falls. Recommendation 11: Following a specialist's assessment, home modifications to remove environmental hazards that could cause falls should be recommended for older people at risk of falls. Recommendation 12: Multifactorial interventions integrating assessment with individually tailored interventions can be recommended to reduce the risk and incidence of falls among older people. |
| Module III: Caregiver support | |
|
|
Recommendation 13:
Psychological intervention, training and support should be offered to family members and other informal caregivers of care-dependent older people, particularly but not exclusively when the need for care is complex and extensive and/or there is significant caregiver strain. |
