Abstract

As Turkey's population is getting older, a growing number of older people live in care and nursing homes. This study aims to determine the depression and the sleeping quality states of people aged 65 and older, who live in a care home. The population of this cross-sectional study is 149 elderly people who live in one of the oldest care home in Istanbul. In December 2019, the data of the study were collected from 107 participants via face-to-face questionnaires that included the Geriatric Depression Scale -15 (GDS-15) and Pittsburgh Sleeping Quality Index (PSQI), besides sociodemographic questions. The participation rate was 71.8%. The average age of the participants was 74.06±7.07, and the majority of them were male (69.2%). The findings of the study revealed 29.0% had depression symptoms and 51.4% had poor sleep quality. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups whether having at least a chronic disease or not, in terms of depression scores (p=0.047), but no difference between sleep quality. There were no significant differences between groups of gender and whether they were being visited by their acquaintances or not, as far as depression score and sleep quality are concerned. There was a significant positive correlation between PSQI and GDS-15 depression scores (r=0.421; p<0.001), that people with poor sleep quality were found to have increased GDS-15 depression scores.

YAŞLI BAKIMEVİNDE KONAKLAYAN YAŞLILARDA UYKU KALİTESİ VE DEPRESYON

Abstract

Ülkemizde nüfusun giderek yaşlanmakta olduğu ve yaşlıların artan şekilde yaşlı bakımevi ve huzur evlerinde barınacağı düşüncesiyle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada; İstanbul'daki Türkiye’nin en eski yaşlı bakımevlerinden birinde yaşayan 65 yaş üstü kişilerin uyku kalitesi ve depresyon durumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel tipteki bu araştırmanın evrenini, yaşlı bakımevinde yaşamakta olan 149 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, Aralık 2019’da katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri, depresyon durumları (Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği 15 Kısa Form- GDÖ15) ve uyku kalitelerini (Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi-PUKİ) belirlemeye yönelik bir soru formu aracılığı ile 107 kişiden yüz yüze olarak toplandı. Evrenin çalışma grubuna katılım oranı %71,8 olarak bulundu. Çalışmaya katılanların yaş ortalaması 74,06±7,07 olup %69,2’si erkekti. Depresyon belirtilerine sahip olanların oranı %29,0, uyku kalitesi kötü olanların oranı ise %51,4 olarak bulundu. GDÖ-15 depresyon puanı açısından kronik hastalığı olan grupla olmayan grup arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli fark bulunurken (p=0,047), PUKİ skoru açısından bulunmadı. Cinsiyet ve ziyaret edilme durumları açısındansa hem uyku kalitesi hem de depresyon puanı açısından gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli fark saptanmadı. PUKİ skoru ile GDÖ-15 depresyon puanı arasında pozitif yönde önemli bir korelasyon bulunmakta (r=0,421; p<0,001), uyku kalitesi kötü olanların depresyon puanları da yüksek bulundu.
