Abstract
As the number of older adults increases and life expectancies are increasing, more incidences of traumatic injury are expected in this population. In this study, the relationships between demographic variables, pain, days from admission to therapy evaluation, length of stay and discharge disposition were examined in 132 older adults who had experienced a traumatic event. Results showed that significant relationships existed between pain, age, comorbidities, injury severity and days from admission to therapy evaluation and length of stay; those with less pain, greater age and had more days between admission and when the first therapy evaluation occurred had longer lengths of stay. In addition, demographic variables, overall length of stay and pain intensity during therapy were associated with discharge location; for longer lengths of stay and higher pain, older trauma patients were less likely to be discharged to home. |
