Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the association between self-care agency and successful aging in individuals aged 65 or over. The research was performed with elderly individuals (n:125) presenting to a training and research hospital between July and October 2012. An information form, the Self-Care Agency Scale, and the Successful Aging Scale (SAS) were employed in data collection. p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. The mean age of the individuals in the research was 69.00±5.44 years (min 65-max 90), their mean Self-Care Agency Scale score was 90.00±19.95 (min 33-max 134), and their total SAS score was 53.00±10.42 (min 17-max 68). Weak, significant negative correlation was determine between age and the Self-Care Agency Scale (p<0.001), the SAS (p=0.002), and the SAS coping with problems subscale (p=0001). The elderly individuals in this study had good self-care agency and successful aging scores, with a positive relationship being observed between self-care agency and successful aging. Self-care agency and successful aging levels were found to decrease with age.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, 65 yaş ve üstü bireylerde öz bakım gücü ile başarılı yaşlanma arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Araştırma, Temmuz - Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında, bir eğitim araştırma hastanesine başvuran yaşlılarda (n: 125) yürütüldü. Veri toplamada, bilgi formu, öz bakım gücü ölçeği ve başarılı yaşlanma ölçeği kullanıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık seviyesi p <0.05 olarak belirlendi. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 69.00±5.44(min.65-max.90) olup, Öz Bakım Gücü Ölçeği (ÖBÖ) toplam puanının 90.00±19.95 (min. 33-max.134), Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği (BYÖ) toplam puanının 53.00±10.42 (min.17-max.68) olduğu belirlendi. Yaş ile Öz Bakım Gücü ölçeği (p<0.001), Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği (p=0.002) ve sorunlarla mücadele etme (p=0001) alt boyutu arasında negatif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Çalışmada, yaşlıların öz bakım gücünün ve başarılı yaşlanma düzeylerinin iyi olduğu; öz bakım gücü ile başarılı yaşlanma arasında olumlu ilişki olduğu görüldü. Yaş arttıkça, öz bakım gücü ve başarılı yaşlanma düzeylerinin ise azaldığı saptandı.
