Özet
Edirne il merkezinde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerin aktif yaşlanma düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi ve yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkilerinin araştırıldığı bu çalışma, Aile Sağlığı Merkezleri’ne kayıtlı, 65 yaş ve üstü 124 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. İçerisinde sosyodemografik veri formu, Aktif Yaşlanma Ölçeği ve Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşlılar İçin Yaşam Kalitesi Modülü’nün yer aldığı 116 soruluk anket yardımıyla veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde; tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Bağımsız Örneklem t testi, One-way ANOVA, Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis testleri kullanılmıştır. Çoklu grupların ileri analizinde için Bonferroni düzeltmeli Mann Whitney U ve Tukey testleri uygulanmıştır. Ölçekler arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi Pearson korelasyon analizi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizlerde p<0,05 anlamlı olarak kabul edilmiştir. Katılımcıların %56,5’i kadın, %62,9’u 65-74 yaş aralığındaydı. En sık rastlanan kronik hastalık hipertansiyon (%64,5) olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların WHOQOL-OLD Yaşam Kalitesi Modülü’nden ve Aktif Yaşlanma Ölçeği’nden elde ettikleri puanların ortalaması sırasıyla 84,35±10,57 ve 154,21±39,90 şeklindedir. Katılımcılar arasında erkeklerin hem yaşam kalitesi hem de aktif yaşlanma düzeyleri kadınlara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur (sırasıyla p=0,034; p=0,013). Kas-iskelet sistemi hastalığı olanların, olmayanlara göre hem yaşam kalitesi hem de aktif yaşlanma düzeyleri anlamlı olarak düşüktür (sırasıyla p=0,008; p= 0,027). Kendi sağlığını “kötü”, “orta” veya “iyi” şeklinde değerlendiren yaşlılar arasında hem yaşam kalitesi hem de aktif yaşlanma düzeyleri açısından anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır (sırasıyla p<0,001; p<0,001). Katılımcıların aktif yaşlanma puanları ile yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında aynı yönde, yüksek ve anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur (r=0,716; p<0,001). Aile hekimleri yaşlı nüfus hakkında farkındalığını artırmalıdır. Yaşlılar yaşam kalitesi ve aktif yaşlanma açısından değerlendirerek, öneri ve müdahalelerde bulunulmalıdır.
This study, in which the active aging level of the elderly living in Edirne provincial center and its effects on quality of life were investigated, was carried out with 124 participants aged 65 and over who are registered registered to Family Health Centers. The data were collected by a questionnaire that consists of 116 questions. It includes a sociodemographic data form, Active Aging Scale and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module. In the analysis of data; descriptive statistics, Independent Samples t-test, One-way ANOVA, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis tests were used. For further analysis of multiple groups, Mann Whitney U and Tukey tests with Bonferroni correction were applied. Examination of the relationship between the scales was carried out with Pearson correlation analysis. p<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. It was seen that 56.5% of the participants were women and 62.9% were between the ages of 65-74. The most common chronic disease was hypertension (64.5%). The mean scores of the participants from the WHOQOL-OLD Module and Active Aging Scale were 84.35±10.57 and 154.21±39.90, respectively. Among the participants, both the quality of life and active aging levels of men were higher than women’s (p=0.034; p=0.013). The quality of life and active aging levels of those with musculoskeletal disease were significantly lower than those without (p=0.008; p= 0.027). There was a significant difference in terms of both quality of life and active aging levels among the elderly who evaluated their own health as “poor”, “moderate” or “good” (p<0.001; p<0.001 respectively). A high and positive significant correlation was found between the active aging scores of the participants and their quality of life scores (r=0.716; p<0.001). Family physicians should increase the awareness about elderly population. They can also make suggestions and interventions by evaluating elderly in terms of quality of life and active aging.
