Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırma birinci basamağa başvuran yaşlı bireylerde başarılı yaşlanma ile yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı.

Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı özellikte olan bu araştırma Ocak 2019-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Örneklemi, Türkiye'nin doğusunda bir il merkezinde bulunan üç aile sağlığı merkezine başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri 379 yaşlı birey oluşturdu. Veriler Tanımlayıcı Soru Formu, Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği (BYÖ) ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği (YDÖ) ile toplandı.

Bulgular: Bireylerin yaş ortalamasının 70.87±5.61 olduğu bulundu. Yaşlıların BYÖ ve YDÖ puan ortalamaları sırasıyla 53,54±8,43 ve 10,85±4,14 ve %38’inin yüksek düzeyde yaşam doyumuna sahip olduğu saptandı. BYÖ toplam ve alt boyut puan ortalamaları ile YDÖ puan ortalaması arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki vardı (P<,001).

Sonuç: Yaşlı bireylerin başarılı yaşlanma algıları iyi ve yaşam doyumu algıları orta düzeydedir. Yaşam doyumu algıları arttıkça başarılı yaşlanma algılarının da arttığı belirlendi. Aile sağlığı merkezlerinde çalışan hemşirelerin başarılı yaşlanmaları ve yaşam doyumunu arttırmaları için yaşlı bireylere danışmanlık yapmaları ve destek olmaları önerilmektedir.

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between successful aging and life satisfaction in older adults presented to primary care.

Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was conducted between January 2019 and May 2019. The sample consisted of 379 older adults (aged 65 and over) admitted to three family health centers (FHMs) in a provincial center in eastern Türkiye. Data were collected using a descriptive questionnaire, the Successful Aging Scale (SAS), and the Life Satisfaction Index (LSI).

Results: Participants had a mean age of 70.87±5.61 years. They had mean SAS and LSI scores of 53.54±8.43 and 10.85±4.14, respectively. More than a quarter of the participants (38%) had high life satisfaction. There was a weak positive correlation between the SAS total and subscale scores and the mean LSI score (P<.001).

Conclusion: Older adults had a good perception of successful aging. However, they had a moderate perception of life satisfaction. It was determined that as perceptions of life satisfaction increased, perceptions of successful aging also increased. Therefore, FHM nurses should counsel and support older adults to ensure successful aging and life satisfaction.
