Analysis of factors affecting exercise rehabilitation of mildly disabled elderly in nursing homes

This study explores the key factors influencing participation in exercise rehabilitation among mildly disabled elderly residents in nursing homes. The primary factors identified include the rehabilitation service capacity of nursing homes, individual health characteristics of elderly residents, and levels of government support. Nursing homes with well-trained rehabilitation personnel, adequate equipment, and robust health education programs show greater effectiveness in promoting regular rehabilitation participation. Additionally, individual health factors such as muscle strength, coordination, and the presence of chronic conditions significantly impact the success and acceptance of rehabilitation exercises, emphasizing the need for tailored exercise programs. Government support, including financial aid and policy frameworks, is also essential for enhancing accessibility and sustainability of rehabilitation services. A supportive rehabilitation environment, featuring safe, well-designed, and clean facilities, further encourages resident participation. The findings suggest that a comprehensive approach—considering service capacity, personal health needs, supportive environments, and policy-level interventions—is critical for improving self-care abilities and independence among elderly residents. Continued government support remains pivotal in reducing participation barriers and facilitating broader access to rehabilitation services.
