Amaç: Yaşlanmayla beraber açığa çıkan sağlık sorunlarının
belirlenmesi birey ve toplum sağlığı açısından oldukça önemlidir.
Çalışmamızda amaç, katılımcıların; beslenme, fiziksel ve sosyal
aktivite gibi günlük alışkanlıklarının ve sağlıkla ilişkili
davranışlarının ve kronik sağlık sorunlarının belirlenmesidir.
Hastalar ve Yöntem: Araştırma kesitsel tiptedir. Çalışmaya
farklı huzurevi ve bakımevlerinde yaşayan, akıl sağlığı yerinde 60
yaş üstü 175 kişi katılmıştır. Yüz yüze görüşmeyle yapılan mini
mental testin ardından çalışmanın anketi, geriatrik depresyon ve
günlük temel yaşam aktiviteleri (aktivitelerinde başkasına bağımlı
olma) ölçekleri uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların 85 (%48,6)‘i erkekti. Tüm
katılımcıların %42,3’ü hayatları boyunca düzenli olarak hiç
fiziksel egzersiz yapmamıştı. Günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde
bağımsız olanlarda düzenli fiziksel egzersiz yapma sıklığı daha
fazla idi (p=0,005). Beden kitle indeksi arttıkça depresyon
(p=0,012) ve bağımlılığın (p=0,010) arttığı tesbit edildi. Sürekli
ilaç kullananlarda depresyon, sürekli ilaç kullanmayanlara göre
oldukça fazla idi (p=0,002). Katılımcıların çalışma yılları arttıkça
bağımlılıklarının, istatistiksel anlamlılık olmaksızın azaldığı
gözlenmiştir.
Sonuç: Fiziksel egzersiz ve aktif çalışma hayatı ile ilerideki
yaşlarda başka bir kişiye bağımlı olarak yaşama arasında ters
orantılı ilişki saptanmıştır. Kronik sağlık sorunu nedeniyle ilaç
kullanan bireylerde depresyon görülme sıklığı yüksek
bulunmuştur. Beden kitle endeksinin artması ile depresyon ve
bağımlılık arasında doğru orantılı ilişki vardır.

Determination of attitudes and behaviours in relation to active aging in individuals aged over 60 who are living in nursing homes

Aim: As the population ages, it is important to recognize the health
problems of the elderly in relation to individual and public health
issues. Our aim was to determine the daily habits and health-related
behaviours of an aging population concerning factors such as
nutritional status, physical and social activity levels and chronic
health problems.
Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The
study included 175 participants over 60 years of age that were
mentally healthy and living in different nursing homes. A minimental test, a study questionnaire, a geriatric depression scale and
an activities of daily living (ADL, physically dependent on others)
scale were applied to the participants face to face.
Results: Eighty-five (48.6%) of the participants were male.
42.3% of the participants did not do any regular physical exercise in
their life time. The frequency of regular physical exercise was
higher in the physically non-dependent to others (p=0.005) group in
the ADL scale. Depression and ADL scores increased with
increasing body mass index (BMI) (p= 0.012 and p= 0.010,
respectively). In continuous medication users depression is quite
high when compared to those who do not use medication constantly
(p= 0.002). With increasing working years, there was a tendency to
a decrease in scores of the physically dependent on others group in
ADL.
Conclusion: Regular physical exercise and an active work history
both have a negative correlation on dependency in ADL in later years.
Depression is more common among individuals who are on
medication due to chronic health problems. A greater BMI was related
to a higher frequency of depression and to dependency in ADL.
