Nursing Practice | Evaluation of Sarcopenia and its Effect on ADL

In the evaluation of sarcopenia, you may be confused about how to use the circumference of the lower leg, grip strength, muscle mass, and physical function properly. We have organized the flow of evaluation based on AWGS2025 and the contents you want to check in practice such as diet, activity amount, ADL. Let's save it so that you can look back at it when practicing and creating records.

... Read moreサルコペニアは高齢者の筋肉量と筋力が低下する状態で、生活の質に直結する重要な健康課題です。私の看護実習経験では、この疾患の理解と評価方法をしっかり身につけることが、患者さんのADL(活動日常生活動作)の維持や改善に直結することを実感しました。 特にAWGS 2025の基準に基づく下腿周囲長や握力測定、筋量の評価は、筋力低下の早期発見に非常に役立ちました。DXAやBIAを用いた筋量測定後も、身体機能テスト(歩行速度、椅子立ち上がりなど)を併用することで、患者さんの生活機能がどの程度影響を受けているか細かく把握できます。 実習中には、食事摂取量の変化、体重減少の有無、嚥下機能や咳嗽状態の確認も欠かせません。これらはサルコペニアの進行に影響し、ADL低下のリスクを高める可能性があるためです。転倒歴や補助具使用の確認は、二次的な事故予防や生活環境調整に不可欠でした。 また、サルコペニアは加齢だけでなく活動量低下や疾患、栄養状態の悪化など二次的な原因が関係する場合も多く、これらを包括的に評価していくことが大切だと気づきました。患者さん個々の状態や生活背景を把握し、運動と栄養面からの支援計画を立てることが、実習指導者の先生方から強調されました。 実習記録作成時に、これらの評価項目や観察ポイントを体系的にまとめることで知識を定着させられ、患者さんの生活機能への影響を具体的に把握する力が身につきました。私の経験からも、サルコペニアの理解は高齢者看護において必須の基礎スキルであり、AWGS 2025を正しく用いた評価法を習得することが、質の高いケア提供に直結すると自信を持って言えます。 今後の看護実習でもこの知識と実践を活かし、対象者のADL維持支援に役立てていきたいです。
