Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the association between self-assessed health status and falls efficacy in community-dwelling elderly women in Korea.
Methods: The study design was descriptive correlational study. 71 elderly women participated voluntarily in this study. Study variables were measured by self-assessed health status one item scale and FES-K. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: Mean score of self-assessed health status was 3.2±0.92 (possible range 1∼5) and mean score of falls efficacy was 36.41±7.38 (possible range 12∼48). Self-assessed health status was statistically significant differences by age and presence of occupation (F=3.58, p=.033, t=2.94, p=.004). Falls efficacy was higher in subjects who have a job (t=2.315, p=.024). Also, self-assessed health status and falls efficacy have positive relationship (r=0.27, p=.024).
Conclusion: It is a necessity to improve falls efficacy for people who perceive their health status lower. However, further research is needed to explore this relationship more.
