目的更好地了解影响社区老年人使用髋关节保护器的问题。方法采用纵向交叉设计。32名参与者的便利样本使用了四种不同品牌的髋关节保护器，每种保护器使用1周。通过每周一次的电话访谈和在基线和随访时进行的邮寄问卷收集数据。使用开放式问题和Likert型项目评估参与者对髋关节保护器的看法。结果在开放式问卷中，最常见的问题包括：不舒适、不合适、不方便和对外观的不利影响。在超过70%的访谈中，参与者自发地提到了至少一个这些障碍。相比之下，只有16%的受访者自发地提到了髋关节保护器提供的保护益处。研究结束后继续使用特定髋关节保护器的意图与研究期间佩戴髋关节保护器的小时数相关（p<0.01）。在控制了其他变量后，关于髋关节保护器提供的保护量的信念与研究期间佩戴髋关节保护器的小时数（p<0.05）和研究后继续使用髋关节保护器的意图（p<0.01）呈正相关。结论研究结果表明，社区居住的老年人使用髋关节保护器的影响，信念的使用障碍和提供的保护量。
Purpose To obtain a better understanding of the issues that influence hip protector use among community-dwelling older adults. Methods The study used a longitudinal, crossover design. A convenience sample of 32 participants used four different brands of hip protectors, each for a 1-week period. Data were collected by weekly telephone interviews and a mailed questionnaire administered at baseline and follow-up. Participant perceptions regarding hip protectors were assessed using both open-ended questions and Likert-type items. Results The most common concerns about hip protectors mentioned in response to open-ended questions involved: discomfort, poor fit, inconvenience and unfavourable effects on appearance. Participants spontaneously mentioned at least one of these barriers in over 70% of the interviews. In contrast, participants spontaneously mentioned the protective benefits offered by hip protectors in only 16% of the interviews. The intention to continue using a particular hip protector after the study ended was associated with the number of hours the hip protector was worn during the study (p<0.01). After controlling for other variables, beliefs concerning the amount of protection that a hip protector provided was positively associated with the number of hours the hip protector was worn during the study (p<0.05) and the intention to continue using the hip protector after the study (p<0.01). Conclusion Study findings suggest that the use of hip protectors by community-dwelling older adults is influenced by beliefs about both barriers to use and the amount of protection provided.
