Nüfusun yaşlanma olgusu ile aktif ve başarılı yaşlanma kavramları önem kazanmıştır. Kırsal alanda sağlık, eğitim, ulaşım ve sosyal hizmetlere erişim gibi alt-yapısal dezavantajların varlığı aktif ve başarılı yaşlanma açısından risk oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırma kapsamında Ankara ilinin kırsalında yer alan Haymana ilçesinde 50-60 yaş arasında bireylerin katıldığı bocce oyunu etkinliği organize edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verilerini yaşlanan yetişkinlerde aktif ve başarılı yaşlanmayı desteklemek için düzenlenen bocce oyunu etkinliği sonrası yapılan nitel görüşmeler oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada fenomenolojik yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. 10 katılımcı ile yarı yapılandırılmış soru formu kullanılarak derinlemesine görüşme yapılmıştır. NVivo 10.0 programı kullanılarak tematik analiz yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel bulguları; bocce oyunu etkinliği ile ilgili düşünceler, aktif ve başarılı yaşlanma ile ilgili düşünceler, bocce oyunu ile aktif ve başarılı yaşlanmanın desteklenmesi ve kurumlardan beklentiler olmak üzere dört ana temaya ayrılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın bulguları kırsal alanda yaşlanan yetişkinler için aktif ve başarılı yaşlanmayı destekleyen hizmet sunumuna ihtiyaç olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bocce oynamanın fiziksel aktiviteye katılımı artırması, yaş ve cinsiyetten bağımsız olarak bir araya gelip keyif alarak oynanabilmesi nedeniyle önemli bir aktif ve başarılı yaşlanma stratejisi olduğu söylenebilir. Kırsal alanlarda fiziksel aktiviteyi ve sosyal katılımı artırma konusunda yerel yönetimlere önemli görevler düşmektedir.

Promoting Active And Successful Ageing Through Bocce Game In Aging Adults In Rural Areas: A Qualitative Study

Öz

With the aging phenomenon of the population, the concepts of active and successful aging have gained importance. A risk to active and successful aging is the existence of infrastructural disadvantages such as limited access to health, education, transport, and social services in rural areas. Within the scope of this research, a bocce game event was organized with the participation of individuals aged between 50 and 60 years in the Haymana district, located in the rural area of Ankara. The data of this study consists of qualitative interviews conducted after the bocce game event, aimed at supporting active and successful aging among aging adults. A phenomenological approach was adopted for this study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 participants using a semi-structured questionnaire. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo 10.0 software. The qualitative findings were divided into four main themes: thoughts on playing bocce, perceptions of active and successful aging, support for active and successful aging through bocce, and expectations of organizations. The results of this study highlight the need to provide services that support active and successful aging for aging adults in rural areas. The findings indicate that bocce, which promotes physical activity and can be enjoyed irrespective of age or gender, serves as a crucial strategy for active and successful aging. In addition, local authorities play a crucial role in promoting physical activity and social engagement in rural areas.
