Özet

Yaşlılığa tutum toplumdan topluma farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Yaşlıların sağlığı kendilerine yönelik olumlu veya olumsuz tutumlardan etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışma, Dünya Değerler Araştırmaları 2013 verilerine dayanarak Türkiye ve Türk Cumhuriyetleri örneğinde toplumun yaşlılara yönelik görüşlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Veri tabanındaki talımcı sayısı sırasıyla Türkiye 1605, Azerbeycan 1002, Kazakistan 1500, Kırgızistan 1500, Özbekistan 1500’dir. Yaşlılara yönelik tutumla ilgili 10 önerme değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca sosyo-demografik verilerle (yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim, medeni durum, meslek sosyal sınıf ve gelir sınıfı algısı,) ilgili bilgiler alınmıştır. Yaşlılara yönelik en fazla olumlu görüşlerin, Özbek katılımcılar tarafından yanıtlandığı belirlenmiştir. Nüfus içindeki hızla artan yaşlı nüfusa hazırlık için öncelikle toplumda yaşlılara karşı ön yargıları ortadan kaldırılması, olumlu tutum Kazandırılması önemli bir adım olacaktır.
