Şadan Toğaçar
Pilates, terapatik rekreasyon kapsamında yaşlılarda denge ve esnekliği artıracak uygulamalardan biridir. Buradan hareketle çalışmamızda huzurevi yaşlılarında 12 haftalık alt ekstremite pilates mat egzersizlerinin denge ve esnekliğe olan etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya, Elazığ Gazi Huzurevi Yaşlı Bakım ve Rehabilitasyon Merkezinde kalan 50 gönüllü huzurevi yaşlısı katılmıştır. 25'i deney, 25'i kontrol grubundan oluşmuştur. Deney grubuna, 12 hafta boyunca, haftada 3 gün, günde 30 dakika olacak şekilde alt ekstremite pilates mat egzersizleri uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir egzersiz programı uygulanmamıştır. Egzersiz programına başlamadan önce hem deney grubuna hem de kontrol grubuna demografik bilgi formu, Mini Mental Test, Otur-Uzan Testi ve Berg Denge ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Otur-Uzan Testi ve Berg Denge ölçeği, egzersiz programı sonrasında tekrar uygulanmıştır. Ulaşılan veriler istatistiksel olarak SPSS-25 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Normal dağılıma sahip olduğundan çalışmanın analizinde "Paired Sample t-Test" ve "One-Way ANOVA" testleri kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel açıdan anlamlılık değeri p < 0.05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; araştırmada kontrol grubunun denge ve esneklik öntest ve sontest ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark görülmezken, deney grubunun denge ve esneklik öntest ve sontest ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel yönden anlamlı fark olduğu görülmüştür (p< 0.05). Uygulanan alt ekstremite pilates mat egzersizlerinin deney grubundaki huzurevi yaşlılarında denge ve esnekliği artırdığı görülmüştür. Bu nedenle denge ve esnekliği artırmak için huzurevinde yaşayan, durumu uygun olan ve istekli olan yaşlılara hazırlanan programlar dâhilinde pilates egzersizlerinin yaptırılması önerilmektedir.

Güler, Nuran; Güler, Zuhal; Özsel, Dogancan
Introduction: This study aimed to identify the Quality of Life (QOL) and associated factors among rural elders. They represent a growing percentage in the national population today and have become increasingly isolated in villages that are being drained due to migration flows from rural to urban areas. Materials and Method: The universe of the present cross-sectional study consists of people of and over the age of 65 living in villages of the Zara district in Sivas Province. The study sample is composed of 20 villages and 577 elderly individuals living in these villages. The data were collected with the use of a personal information form, the WHOQOL-Bref QOL scale, the Geriatric Depression scale, and the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living through face-to-face interviews. The data thus obtained were evaluated on the SPSS software through the implementation of the distribution measures, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskall-Wallis Variance test. Results: Twenty-five per cent of the elderly individuals included in the study perceive their health status as being poor. The difference between gender, age, education, economic status, health perception, dependency information, and score averages in all subfield scores of QOL among the elderly was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Advanced age, female gender, chronic disease, depression, perception of health as poor, dependency, and constantly living in a village were determined to be among the negative factors that affect the elderly's QOL.

Emiroglu, Oya Nuran; Karatay, Gulnaz
Introduction: Falls in the elderly are a significant problem with consequences that may lead to death. Although many studies have been conducted regarding falls in the elderly, little is known of their own perceptions and experiences of falling. The purpose of this study was to better understand how the elderly living in institutions understand and perceive their experiences of falling. Materials and Method: A qualitative design was used based upon van Manen's phenomenological approach. Interviews were conducted with 22 elderly using a purposive sampling method. Van Manen's data analysis approach was used to analyze the data derived from the interviews. Results: Outcomes of this study showed that there were three main perceptions about falls for the elderly: Participants acknowledged falling as a painful experience and that falls should be expected in old age. Still others understood that life goes on but with new areas of concern which will require their attention and care. Conclusion: The results of this study show that all health care personnel, particularly the nurses who care for the elderly in an institutional environment, need to adopt an individualized and empathetic approach to those in their care. Falls happen often and can be fatal to the elderly. Thus it is very important for all health care professionals working with the elderly to be fully informed and involved in ensuring that their patients practice safe behaviors to guard against falls. Care should also be taken to ensure that their living environment is safe and secure.
