enhancing family functions,and gradually develop a family-centered home care system with community support. Objective To
explore the mechanism of mediating action of family function between disability severity and family resilience in home-living older
adults with disability in Xinjiang's minority areas,offering new ideas for relevant departments to improve family resilience of this
population. Methods From July to August 2020,a household survey was conducted with older adults with disability,and their
primary caregivers and core family members of 431 Uygur or Kazak households selected from Xinjiang's Bortala Mongol Autonomous
Prefecture by use of stratified multistage sampling. Questionnaires including demographic questionnaire developed by our research
team,Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living(Katz ADL),Mini-mental State Examination(MMSE),
Family Resilience Assessment Scale(FRAS),and the Family Concern Index Questionnaire(APGAR)were used in the survey
to collect information regarding degree of disability,family resilience,and family functions of the older adults with disability.
Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship of family resistance with disability severity,family function and
its five functional components(adaptability,partnership,growth,affection,and resolve). Multiple linear regression analysis
and Bootstrap test were used to verify and examine the medicating effect of family function and its five components between disability
severity and family resilience. Results From the 431 households,older adults with disability,primary family caregivers,and
core family members were selected at a ratio of 1∶1∶1(each group contained 431 cases). Among the older adults with disability,
the prevalence of mild,moderate and severe disability was 46.9%(202/431),40.1%(173/431),and 13.0%(56/431),
respectively. The prevalence of intact family function,moderate and severe family dysfunction in the households was 46.4%(200/431),
43.6%(188/431),and 10.0%(43/431),respectively. The prevalence of low and high family resilience in the households was
51.7%(223/431),and 48.3%(208/431),respectively. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that disability severity of the
older adults reduced with the increase of family function and its five components as well as family resilience(P<0.05). And family
resilience grew with the increase of family function and its five components(P<0.05). Mediation analysis found that family function
partially mediated between disability severity and family resilience,with an effect size accounting for 67.2% of the total effect. The
components of adaptability,partnership,growth,affection,and resolve also partially mediated between disability severity and
family resilience,with effect sizes accounting for 38.7%,47.1%,48.2%,24.2%,and 25.3% of the total effect respectively.
Conclusion Family function played a partial mediating role between the degree of disability and family resilience in home-living
older adults with disability in minority areas of Xinjiang. In view of this,for those with severe disability,besides offering more
medical assistance,relevant governments are suggested to pay attention to improving their family function by making use of family
internal resources,so as to improve family resilience to enhance the quality of care for this population.
