Conclusion: Although there are risk factors that cannot be changed according to the results obtained from this study, maintaining independence and gaining autonomy in order to fulfill the daily activities of the elderly reduces the risk of falling; It is thought that evidence-based fall risk reduction and prevention programs to be implemented in the clinic will allow elderly individuals to be more independent while performing their daily living activities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study is to examine the relationship between daily living activity status and fall risk in elderly individuals aged 65 and over who are treated in a geriatric clinic. Materials and Methods: This study was descriptive, cross-sectional and relational, and its sample consisted of 96 elderly individuals over 65 years of age who met the inclusion criteria and were treated in a geriatrics clinic. "Individual Identification Form" consisting of 11 questions, "Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale" and "Morse Fall Risk Scale" were used as data collection tools, which were created by the researchers based on the literature. Results: The mean age of the participants was 75.17±7.06, 64.6% female, 47.9% overweight, all of them had at least one chronic disease and regular drug use. The mean score of the KATZ ADL scale of the elderly individuals was 2.14±2.36; 58.3% of them are dependent. Morse fall scale mean score was 49.11±24.80 and 34.4% were in the high-risk group. While there was a significant difference between variables such as gender, education level, marital status, employment status, smoking and alcohol use, and polypharmacy, activities of daily living and risk of falling (p<0.05); A negative and moderately significant relationship was found between activities of daily living and fall risk scores (r= -0.644; p<0.05). Conclusion: Although there are risk factors that cannot be changed according to the results obtained from this study, maintaining independence and gaining autonomy in order to fulfill the daily activities of the elderly reduces the risk of falling; It is thought that evidence-based fall risk reduction and prevention programs to be implemented in the clinic will allow elderly individuals to be more independent while performing their daily living activities.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı geriatri kliniğinde tedavi gören 65 yaş ve üzeri yaşlı bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivite durumu ile düşme riski arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın yöntemi tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve ilişkisel olup örneklemini dâhil edilme kriterlerine uyan ve bir geriatri kliniğinde tedavi gören 65 yaş üzerindeki 96 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak literatüre dayanarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş 11 soruluk “Birey Tanılama Formu”, “Katz Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri (GYA) Ölçeği” ve “Mors Düşme Riski Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 75,17±7,06, %64,6 kadın, %47,9’u fazla kilolu, tümünde en az bir kronik hastalık ve düzenli ilaç kullanımı mevcuttur. Yaşlı bireylerin KATZ GYA ölçeği puan ortalaması 2,14±2,36; %58,3’ü bağımlıdır. Morse düşme ölçeği puan ortalaması 49,11±24,80 ve %34,4’ü yüksek risk grubundadır. Cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, medeni durum, çalışma durumu, sigara ve alkol kullanımı ve polifarmasi gibi değişkenlerle günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve düşme riski ile anlamlı fark bulunurken (p<0,05); günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve düşme risk puanlarının arasında negatif yönde ve orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişkisi bulunmuştur (r= -0,644; p<0,05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuca göre değiştirilemeyen risk faktörleri olmasına karşın yaşlı bireyin günlük yaşam aktivitelerini yerine getirmek için bağımsızlığını sürdürmesi ve otonomi kazanması, düşme riskini azaltmakta; klinikte uygulanacak kanıta dayalı düşme riskini azaltma ve önleme programlarının, yaşlı bireylerin günlük yaşam aktivitelerini gerçekleştirirken daha bağımsız olmalarına olanak sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
