Examination of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours in Older Adults with Chronic Disease

Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to determine behaviours of healthy life style of the old people with chronic disease. Methods: The study was carried out with old people aged 60 above who can perform daily life activities independently and having at least one of the diagnoses of cancer, hypertension and diabetes, staying at a residential and nursing home (n:304). Data were collected by use of old people interview form and scale of Healthy Life Style Behaviours-II (HLSB-II). Results: Age average of the individuals involved in the study is 78.9±7.6 and 67.1% were women. 5.3% of old people (n:16) had cancer, 26% (n:79) were DM, 49.7% (n:151) were HT patient and 19.1% (n:58) had more than one chronic disease. It was determined that BMI values were higher in old people with more than one chronic disease and lower in old people with cancer (p<0.001). As the term of disease of old people with more than one chronic disease extends, total score of HLSB-II lowers (p<0.01). Scores of health responsibility of cancer patients, scores of sub-scale of physical activity, stress management and moral development of diabetes old people are higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results show that behaviors of healthy life style of old people with diabetes are better than old people having the diagnosis of cancer and hypertension. Development of programs to increase healthy lifestyle for old people with the diagnoses of cancer and hypertension will contribute to active aging process and increase of life quality.


Giriş: Bu araştırmanın amacı kanser, hipertansiyon, diyabet tanısı olan yaşlı bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırma bir Yaşlı Bakım ve Rehabilitasyon Merkezinde kalan, kanser, hipertansiyon ve diyabet tanılarından en az birine sahip olan, günlük yaşam aktivitelerini bağımsız olarak yerine getirebilen 60 yaş üzerindeki yaşlılarla yürütülmüştür (n:304). Veriler Yaşlı Görüşme Formu ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği-II (HLSB-II) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 78,9±7,6 olup % 67,1’i kadındır. Yaşlıların %5,3’ü (n:16) kanser, %26’sı (n:79) DM, %49,7’si (n:151) HT hastası olup %19,1’inin (n:58) birden fazla kronik hastalığı vardır. Kanserli bireylerin BKİ değerinin daha düşük, birden fazla kronik hastalığı olan yaşlıların BKİ değerlerinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,001). Birden fazla kronik hastalığı olan yaşlıların hastalık süresi arttıkça yaşam biçimi toplam puanı düşmektedir (p<0,01). Kanserli yaşlıların sağlık sorumluluğu daha yüksek iken, diyabetli yaşlıların fiziksel aktivite, stres yönetimi ve manevi gelişim durumları daha yüksektir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Sonuçlar diyabetli yaşlıların sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının hipertansiyon ve kanser tanılı yaşlılara göre daha iyi olduğunu göstermektedir. Hipertansiyon ve kanser tanılı yaşlılara yönelik sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarını artıracak programların geliştirilmesi, yaşlıların aktif yaşlanma sürecine ve yaşam kalitesinin yükselmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.
