患有主观记忆抱怨（SMC）的老年成年人在日常活动中可能会遇到非常小的困难。尽管支持社区居住老年人的护理人员和职业治疗师意识到与冰箱管理相关的特征行为的存在，但尚未进行具体的研究。本研究旨在探讨冰箱管理对老年SMC患者的影响。方法随机抽取鹿儿岛消费者合作社3000名会员进行问卷调查。在这些回复中，总共分析了282名老年人。分析对象分为两组：SMC（+）组（n= 74）和SMC（-）组（n= 192）。四名职业治疗师制作了一份调查问卷，用来评估被分析对象的特征和他们管理冰箱的能力。痴呆早期症状的观察表也被使用。多重逻辑分析进行了检验SMC和冰箱管理之间的关系。结果SMC（+）组的冷库管理差错数显著高于SMC（-）组（P= 0.008）。在冰箱管理方面，SMC（+）组在以下4个项目上的错误率高于SMC（−）组；冰箱里有很多相同的食物/过期的食物，人们不知道冰箱里有什么，人们在冰箱里找不到他/她需要的东西。此外，SMC与“这个人不知道冰箱里有什么”相关（优势比7.44,95% CI 1.51-43.8，P= 0.02）。结论老年SMC患者在冰箱管理方面存在一些问题。评估老年SMC患者的冰箱管理可能有助于考虑多方面的支持。
AimOlder adults with subjective memory complaints (SMC) may experience very minor difficulties in daily activities. Although caregivers and occupational therapists who support community‐dwelling older adults are aware of the existence of characteristic behaviours related to refrigerator management, no specific studies have been conducted. This study aimed to examine the implications of refrigerator management for older adults with SMC.MethodsA self‐administered questionnaire was sent to 3000 randomly selected members of Consumer's Co‐operative Kagoshima. Of the returned responses, a total of 282 older adults were analyzed. Analyzed subjects were divided into two groups: SMC (+) group (n= 74) and SMC (−) group (n= 192). A questionnaire was created by four occupational therapists and used to assess the characteristics of analyzed subjects and their abilities to manage the refrigerator. The observation list for early signs of dementia was also utilised. A multiple logistic analysis was performed to examine the association between SMC and refrigerator management.ResultsThe SMC (+) group had a significantly higher number of refrigerator management errors than the SMC (−) group (P= 0.008). The SMC (+) group had more errors than the SMC (−) group in the following four items regarding refrigerator management; the refrigerator has a lot of the same foods / expired food, the person does not know what's in the refrigerator, the person cannot find what he/she needs in the refrigerator. Moreover, SMC was associated with the item ‘the person does not know what is in the refrigerator’ (odds ratio 7.44, 95% CI 1.51–43.8,P= 0.02).ConclusionsOur results showed that older adults with SMC had several problems regarding refrigerator management. Evaluating refrigerator management among older adults with SMC may help consider multifaceted support.
