Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı biraraştırmadır. Araştırma Mart-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında bir huzurevinde yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri kişisel bilgi formu, PittsburgUyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ) ve Morse Düşme Ölçeği kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırma örneklemini94 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Huzurevinde kalan yaşlı bireylerin uyku kalitesi iyi ve düşme riskleri düşük bulunmuştur. Yaş ile ölçekpuanları arasında ve PUKİ ile Morse Düşme Ölçeği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki belirlenmemiştir. PUKİ ve Morse Düşme Ölçeği puanlarısosyodemografik verilere göre farklılık göstermemiştir. İkiden fazla ilaç kullananların düşme riski diğerlerine göre daha yüksek; uyku ilacıkullananların ise uyku kalitesi kullanmayanlara göre daha iyi bulunmuştur (p0.05). Uyuduğu odada ışık olmayan ve uyku öncesi alışkanlığı olmayan yaşlılarınPUKİ puanı diğerlerine kıyasla daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p KW - Huzurevi KW - Düşmeler KW - Uyku kalitesi KW - Yaşlı N2 - The aim of this study is to determine the sleep quality and fall risk of elderly individuals staying in a nursing home. This is a descriptivestudy. The research data were collected in a nursing home between March and May 2019. The collection of research data was conducted via face-to-face interview method using a personal information form, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Morse Falls Scale. Thestudy sample consisted of 94 elderly individuals. The sleep quality of elderly individuals staying in nursing homes was found to be goodand the risk of falls was found to be low. There was no significant relationship between age and scale scores and between PSQI and morsefalls scale. PSQI and morse falls scale scores did not differ according to sociodemographic data. The risk of falls was found to be higher inthose who used more than two medications and sleep quality was found to be better in those who used sleeping pills compared to nonusers(p0.05). In a study, elderly individuals who slept in a room without light and had no pre-sleep habits were found to have higher PSQIscores compared to others (p < 0.05). To improve sleep quality in older adults, it is important to assess their need for sleep medication andensure a dark sleeping environment. Although the fall risk among elderly people in the nursing home was found to be low in this study, itis recommended that those taking more than two medications be evaluated as high-risk.
