Abstract

Objective: This randomized controlled study conducted with older women aimed to determine the effects of the Active Living Program on healthy lifestyle behaviors and life satisfaction. Materials and Methods: The study was completed with 94 older women. Pre-test and post-test data were collected using a personal information form, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, and the Life Satisfaction Scale for the Elderly. After the pre-test, the Active Living Program, developed based on the Health Promotion Model of Nola J. Pender, was implemented for the women in the intervention group. The program included health promotion education and bocce activities conducted over 6 weeks. In the statistical analysis, independent samples t-test, paired samples t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, Pearson chi-square test, and Yates correction were used. Results: In the intervention group, within-group comparisons showed that the mean total score of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II increased significantly from 126.79±26.65 to 158.83±18.5, and the mean total score of the Life Satisfaction Scale for the Elderly increased from 43.96±12.90 to 59.60±6.35 after the intervention. In addition, post-intervention between-group comparisons revealed that the scores of all subdimensions of both scales were higher in the intervention group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Model-based nursing programs were found to be effective in improving healthy lifestyle behaviors and life satisfaction among older women. It is recommended that further studies including planned educational interventions based on theoretical models be conducted to promote the health of older individuals.

Özet

Amaç: Yaşlı kadınlarla yapılan randomize kontrollü bu çalışma, Aktif Yaşam Programı’nın sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve yaşam doyumu üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 94 yaşlı kadın ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmanın ön test ve son test verileri; kişisel bilgi formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II ve Yaşlılar İçin Yaşam Doyum Ölçeğiyle toplanmıştır. Ön testten sonra, Sağlığı Geliştirme Modeli’ne göre hazırlanan “Aktif Yaşam Programı” müdahale grubundaki kadınlara uygulanmıştır. Program, 6 hafta süren sağlık geliştirme eğitimi ve Bocce sporunu içermiştir. Çalışmada iki örneklem t testi, eşleştirilmiş iki örneklem t testi, Mann Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Pearson ki-kare testi ve Yates düzeltmesi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Müdahale grubunda, grup içi değerlendirmede müdahale öncesi ve sonrası karşılaştırıldığında SYBDÖ II toplam puan ortalamasının (126,79±26,65’ten 158,83±18,5’e) ve YAYDÖ toplam puan ortalamasının (43,96±12,90’dan 59,60±6,35’e) anlamlı düzeyde arttığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca müdahale sonrası yapılan gruplar arası değerlendirmelerde her iki ölçeğin tüm alt boyut puanlarının müdahale grubunda daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Model temelli hemşirelik programlarının yaşlı kadınların sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve yaşam doyumu üzerinde etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Yaşlı bireylerin sağlığını geliştirmek amacıyla modellere dayalı planlı eğitimlerin yer aldığı çalışmalar yapılması önerilmektedir.
