Tóm tắt

Objective: (1) To describe the characteristics of cognitive impairment in elderly patients undergoing treatment at Bach Mai Hospital's Rehabilitation Center in 2025; (2) To analyze the impact of cognitive impairment on daily living activities in elderly patients at Bach Mai Hospital's Rehabilitation Center in 2025.


Research methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Bach Mai Hospital's Rehabilitation Center.


Research results: The study revealed that 62.5% of elderly patients at the center experienced cognitive impairment, primarily of a mild degree. Notably, the 60-69 age group showed the highest prevalence of cognitive impairment, reflecting a trend of the condition affecting younger elderly individuals. Furthermore, a clear correlation emerged: the more severe the cognitive impairment, the higher the level of dependence in daily activities, with 70% of cognitively impaired patients exhibiting severe reliance. This confirms that cognitive impairment significantly impacts the independence of elderly patients.


Conclusion: Cognitive impairment has a direct and strong link with daily living function. The more cognitive impairment, the more severely the ability to perform daily activities was affected, leading to a higher level of dependence.
