AMAÇ: Huzurevi sakinlerinin bakımının iyileştirilmesi için sistematik bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç varken konuyla ilgili literatür dünya genelinde nadirdir. Ülkemizde ise huzurevlerinde yaşayan yaşlıların kognitif fonksiyonları hakkında bilgi oldukça sınırlı olup kognitif fonksiyonlara sosyal desteğin etkisi bilinmemektedir.AMAÇLAR: Bu çalışmanın amacı ülkemizde fiziki-sosyal hizmetleri farklı iki huzurevinde yaşayan yaşlılarda aile, arkadaş ve diğerlerinin (doktor, hemşire, sosyal hizmet uzmanı vb.) sosyal desteğinin bireylerin kognitif fonksiyonları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır.YÖNTEMLER: Çalışmaya Sosyal Hizmetlere bağlı iki ayrı huzurevinde yaşayan 136 kişi katılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan yaşlılara Standardize Mini Mental Test (MMT), Yaşlılarda Depresyon Ölçeği (YDÖ) ve sosyal desteği test etmek amacıyla Çok Boyutlu Sosyal Destek Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. BULGULAR: Grup I’deki yaşlıların MMT skorları düşük, depresyon skorları yüksek olup gruplar arasında istatistiki olarak fark bulunmuştur (sırasıyla MMT ve YDÖ sonuçları: t=- 4.94, p
