Abstract

Amaç: Araştırma yaşlılarda kişisel anlam profili ve psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma, kesitsel olarak 27.07.2020-30.09.2020 tarihlerinde, Osmaniye merkez ilçesinde yürütülmüştür. Evrenin temsili için %95 güven aralığı ve %3 hata marjini ile minimum 353 kişinin örnekleme alınması uygun bulunmuştur. 440 yaşlı birey çalışmaya alınmıştır. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Kişisel Anlam Profili Ölçeği ve Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler; Student’s t test, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi, Pearson korelasyon katsayısı, Çoklu Lineer Regresyon Analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. İstatistik anlamlılık seviyesi p<0.05 olarak alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Yaşlıların Kişisel Anlam Profili Ölçeği İlişkiler, Din, Kendini aşma, Kendini kabul ve Yakınlık alt boyutu puan ortalamaları ile Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki vardır (p<0,05). Yaşlılardan geliri giderinden az olanlarda, sigara kullananlarda, mental bozukluğu olan ve fiziksel engeli olanlarda Kişisel Anlam Profili Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması anlamlı düzeyde azalmaktadır (p<0.05). Lise mezunu olan ve kronik hastalığı olan yaşlıların Kişisel Anlam Profili Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması anlamlı düzeyde artmaktadır (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre; yaşlıların kişisel anlam profilleri ve kaynaklarının psikolojik iyi oluşlarını geliştirdiği bulunmuştur. Yaşlıların bazı sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin de kişisel anlam profillerini etkilediği görülmektedir.

The data were collected by Personal Information Form, Personal Meaning Profile Scale and Psychological Well-being Scale. Data; Student's t test, One Way Analysis of Variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, Multiple Linear Regression Analysis has been evaluated by tests. Statistical significance level was taken as 0.05.
Results: It was determined that there is a significant positive correlation between the mean scores of the Personal Meaning Profile, Relationships, Religion, Self-transcendence, Self-acceptance and Closeness sub-dimension and the Psychological Well-being Scale total score averages of the older people (p<0.05). The total average score of the Personal Meaning Profile decreases significantly in those with lower income, smokers, mental disorders and physical disabilities (p<0.05). The Personal Meaning Profile total score average of the older participants who graduated from high school and those with chronic diseases increased significantly (p <0.05).
