Ne Kadar Başarılı Yaşlanıyoruz?

Amaç: Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin güneydoğusundaki yaşlıların ne kadar başarılı yaşlandıklarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı çalışmanın örneklemi; Temmuz-Ekim 2019 tarihleri arasında iki Aile Sağlığı Merkezi’ne (ASM) başvuran 60 yaş ve üzeri 442 yaşlı bireyden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamak için Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde yüzde, frekans, ortalama, standart sapma, lineer regresyon, t testi ve Anova yapılmıştır.Bulgular: SAS ortalamalarının yaşla birlikte azaldığı, eğitimle arttığı ve aralarındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.00). SAS toplam ölçek puan ortalamasının 46.5±12.0 olduğu, bağımsız değişkenlerin başarılı yaşlanma üzerindeki etkisi R2=.262 olarak belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: Çalışmaya alınan yaşlı bireylerin başarılı yaşlanma puanlarının toplam puan ortalamasının orta olduğu, yaş arttıkça başarılı yaşlanma puan ortalamasının azaldığı belirlenmiştir.

How Successful Are We Aging?

Aim: This study was conducted to determine who live in southeastern Turkey, the older people how successful they get older.Methods: The sample of the descriptive study; it consisted of 442 elderly individuals aged 60 and over who applied to two Family Health Centers (FHC) between July and October 2019. Personal Information Form and Successful Aging Scale were used to collect data. Percentage, frequency, average, standard deviation, linear regresyon, t test and Anova were performed in the data analysis (p<0.05).Results: It was determined that the mean scores of Successful Aging Scale decreased with increasing age, increased with education and the difference between them was significant (p=0.00). It was determined that Successful Aging Scale total scale mean score was 46.5±12.0. The effect of independent variables on successful aging was determined as R2 = .262.Conclusion: It was determined that total mean score of successful aging of the elderly individuals included in the study was medium, and as the age increased, the mean score of successful aging decreased.
