Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the quality of life and physical activity level of elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes and to examine the factors affecting the quality of life of individuals. Material and Methods: This research is a descriptive relational study. The study was conducted with elderly individuals admitted to the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a district state hospital in Konya. The sample size of the study consisted of a total of 228 individuals. Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: According to the data of the study, mean age of the participants was 71.81±6.62. According to the linear regression analysis, it was determined that age, number of drugs used, total physical activity, with whom he/she lives, doing regular exercise, and physician check were effective on predicting the physical health component of quality of life (p<0.05). It was determined that the effective variables explained 70.4% of the change on the physical health component of quality of life. Age, total physical activity, with whom he/she lives and physician check were found to be effective on the mental health component of quality of life (p<0.05). It was determined that the effective variables explained 56.5% of the change on the mental health component of quality of life. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it was determined that elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes had a moderate quality of life and a low level of physical activity. It may be recommended to plan support programs that will encourage elderly individuals to engage in physical activity and increase their quality of life.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma tip 2 diyabeti olan yaşlı bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyini belirlemek ve bireylerin yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, tanımlayıcı ilişkisel tiptedir. Araştırma Konya’da bir ilçe devlet hastanesinin dahiliye polikliniğine başvuran yaşlı bireylerde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örnek büyüklüğü toplam 228 bireyden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. p<0,05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Araştırma verilerine göre katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 71,81±6,62, %62,7’si kadındır. Regresyon analizine göre yaş, kullanılan ilaç sayısı, fiziksel aktivite toplam, kiminle yaşadığı, düzenli egzersiz yapma, hekim kontrolünün yaşam kalitesinin fiziksel sağlık bileşenini yordadığı belirlenmiştir (p<0,05). Etkili olan değişkenlerin yaşam kalitesinin fiziksel sağlık bileşeni üzerindeki değişimin %70,4’ini açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Yaş, fiziksel aktivite toplam, kiminle yaşadığı, hekim kontrolünün yaşam kalitesinin mental sağlık bileşeni üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Etkili olan değişkenlerin yaşam kalitesinin mental sağlık bileşeni üzerindeki değişimin % 56,5’i açıkladığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, tip 2 diyabeti olan yaşlı bireylerin yaşam kalitesinin orta, fiziksel aktivitelerinin ise düşük düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaşlı bireyleri fiziksel aktiviteye teşvik edecek ve yaşam kalitelerini artıracak destek programlarının planlanması önerilebilir.
