Abstract:
This study investigates the relationship between self-neglect (SN) and sense of coherence (SOC) in relation to multidimensional frailty among older adults living in the community. in Kermanshah, Iran, this cross-sectional research involved 401 participants aged 60 and above, with an average age of 69.43±7.29 years. The sample comprised 56.9 % males and 72.8 % married individuals, selected using a two-stage quota sampling method. Data were gathered through a demographic questionnaire, the Groningen Frailty Indicator, the Elder Self-Neglect Questionnaire, and a 13-item sense of coherence scale. Analysis using SPSS version 26 revealed average scores of 5.01±3 for frailty, 63.81±12.67for SN, and 56.26±9.04for SOC. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between frailty and self-neglect, while a negative correlation was found between frailty and sense of coherence. Ultimately, self-neglect emerged as a key factor directly linked to multidimensional frailty, with SOC influencing frailty indirectly through its impact on self-neglect.
