Background & Aims of the Study: This study aimed to determine the relationship between fear
of falling, mental wellbeing, and depression in the elderly with cardiovascular disease.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 283 elderly
selected per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The required data were collected using
the Center of Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), the Falls Efficacy Scale
International (FES-I), and the World Health Organization- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5).
Data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive statistics and regression analysis methods. The
significance level was considered 0.05.
Results: The obtained results suggested that gender, place of residence, mental wellbeing, and
depression were significantly associated with fear of falling in the examined sample (P<0.001).
Furthermore, for every 10 units of welfare increase, the average fear of falling in the elderly
decreases by 2 units. Additionally, on average, the fear of falling for the elderly females was 1.55
points higher than that in their male counterparts. Moreover, the average fear of falling for the
elderly who were depressed was 3.37 points higher than that in the elderly without depression.
Eventually, the average fear of falling in the elderly who lived in urban areas was 2.68 points
higher than that in the elderly who lived in rural areas.
Conclusion: Based on the current research findings, depression and mental wellbeing were
predictors of fear of falling; thus, they can be considered as effective factors in interventions to
reduce the fear of falling and falling in the elderly. |
