چکیده: (64 مشاهده)
Introduction: The elderly are one of the main groups receiving healthcare services. Identification of the healthcare utilization rate by elderly and its determinants are essential to formulate the national priorities. This study was aimed to assess the utilization rate of health care by elderly in outpatient services and its determinants in Southern Tehran.
Materials & Methods: We performed a cross-sectional questionnaire survey on a random sample of the elderly aged 60 years and older, who are covered by south Tehran healthcare centers (n=440). Analyses included descriptive statistics and chi-square test.
Results: Generally, most of the elderly (60%) visited public hospitals to receive healthcare services in the past year. statistical relationships were observed between "visiting rates of the subjects" and gender (P=0.01), self-assessed of current health status (P=0.001), the habit of exercise (P=0.04) and perceived need for care (P=0.01).
Conclusion: The pattern of using healthcare centers in the elderly depended on some demographic characteristics, such as gender and personal exercise habits and also their preference toward the place where services are provided; which should be taken into consideration by policy makers in order to provide required services for the elderly.
