Socio-Demographical Characteristics of Bursa Rest-Home Residents And The Results of Their Health Surveillance

Abstract

Together with our ageing world, the ageing of the population in our country makes the health and care problems of elder people more important every day. By visiting the three rest-homes of Bursa Municipality, we aimed to examine the socio-demographical characteristics of these people, to find out their most frequent health problems and to define the properties of rest-home life, according to the own descriptions of their elder residents. The rest-homes were visited in May 2001, where first the face-to-face interviews with the elder people were done, followed by their physical examinations. 60,1% and 39,9% of the study group were male and female, respectively, with a mean age of 69,98±0,78.Of the study group, 35,2% had no health insurance at all, 14,5% were graduated from colleges or universities, whereas 45% were just literate. 78,8% had at least one chronic disease. At the physical examinations, problems were found most frequently in dents, ears and in the cardiovascular system. The elder people were generally content to live in the rest-homes, but they added that the atmosphere is like a hostel or resthouse, which makes them miss their homes.
