Shrnutí:The integrated model of frailty shifted the physiologically-dominated view to an integrated and multidisciplinary view of frailty and adopted an integrated and holistic approach to the complex challenges facing frail older adults and their caregivers. There is an urgent need for researchers to identify multi-faceted frailty among older adults and to explore contributors to it. We assessed the level of frailty among older residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities in Shanghai, China and explored risk factors of multiple dimensions of frailty among older residents. It is a cross-sectional descriptive study. We interviewed 218 older residents from nine LTC facilities. We used Tilburg Frailty Indicator to assess older residents’ physiological, psychological, and social frailty. The Geriatric Depression Scale, Mini-Mental state examination, Athens Insomnia Scale, and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Scale were used to assess their depressive symptoms, cognitive function, sleep quality and ADL abilities, respectively. Older residents have a moderate level of frailty in physiological, psychological and social domains. There is a high correlation among dimensions of frailty. Older residents’ depressive symptoms have remained positively associated with their overall and each domain of frailty. Older residents’ actual activity participation and exercise in LTC facilities are negatively associated with older residents’ overall, physiological and social frailty. Frailty is a multi-dimensional concept and is prevalent among older residents in LTC facilities. It is important to take an integrated view on frailty and carry out appropriate and comprehensive interventions to prevent adverse outcomes and provide holistic care for frail older residents in LTC facilities. There is an urgent need to improve the quality and expand the number of activities offered within LTC facilities that would engage older residents in a person-centered way, despite their age, ADL abilities, frailty and functional limitations.
