This work was
conducted on the 210 elderly members of the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality –
Elderly Services Center which serves to approximately 32,000 elders in 7 towns,
whose problem solving abilities and resilience effects were to be studied on
their marital adjustments of those who are currently married and have been
registered in the last decade to the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality – Elderly
Services Center.
In order to determine the problem
solving abilities and resilience of the participants, the Interactional Problem
Solving Inventory” (Lange et al., 1991) and “Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale”
(Connor & Davidson, 2003) have been used in the research, which were
adapted to the Turkish language by Maçkan (2014). In order to measure the
cohesion levels of the spouses, the “Dyadic Adjustment Scale” was used
consisting of 32 items, developed by Spanier (1976) and adapted to Turkish by
Fışıloğlu & Demir (2000).
In consequence of the research,
when analyzing the dual and partial correlations between the predictor
variables and marital adjustment, problem solving skills (p<0.001) and resilience (p<0.001) were found to have
impact on the marital adjustment.
