Article Demanslı Bireye Bakım Verenlerin Cinsiyetinin Bakım Veren Öz Yeterliliği Üzerine Etkisi(2022-09-27) Özgül, Ecem; Söylemez, Burcu AkpınarBu çalışma, demanslı bireye bakım verenlerin cinsiyetinin bakım veren öz yeterliliği üzerine etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya, iki üniversite Hastanesi Nöroloji Polikliniği ve Geriatri Bilim Dalı Yaşlanan Beyin ve Demans Polikliniği ve Türkiye Alzheimer Derneği İzmir Şubesine Nisan 2019-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında başvuran 275 demanslı bireyin verileri dahil edilmiştir. Retrospektif tanımlayıcı araştırma tasarımına uygun şekilde yapılan bu araştırmada “Katılımcı Bilgi Formu”, “Revize Edilmiş Bakıma Yönelik Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 21.00 programı kullanılmıştır. Sosyo-demografik veriler sayı, ortalama, yüzde ve standart sapma olarak verilmiştir. Cinsiyete göre öz yeterlilik puan ortalamaları karşılaştırmasında; veri analizi yöntemi olarak Bağımsız Gruplar için T Testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında verileri değerlendirilen 275 demanslı bireye bakım verenin %71,3’ü kadın olup yaş ortalaması 54,58±8,51 yıl olup %.36,4’ü annesine, %29,8’i eşine bakım vermektedir. Demanslı bireylerin %46,9’u 1-5 yıl arasında bakım alan, %51,6’sını erkeklerin oluşturduğu, yaş ortalamalarının 77,58±8,81 olduğu bulunmuştur. Bakım verenlerin cinsiyetine göre öz yeterlilik toplam ölçek puanı arasında (t=-4,888; p=0,001), kendine zaman öz yeterlilik puanı arasında (t=-4,262; p=0,001), bakım hakkında üzücü düşüncelerin kontrolü öz yeterliliği puanı arasında (t=-4,487; p=0,001) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Cinsiyete göre rahatsız edici hasta davranışlarına karşı yanıt öz yeterlilik puanı arasında (t=-1,228; p= 0,220) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır. Kadın bakım verenlerin öz yeterliliğinin erkeklere oranla daha düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu nedenle bakım verenlerin öz yeterlilik düzeyinin artırılmasına yönelik planlanacak girişimlerde, cinsiyetin mutlaka göz önünde bulundurulması önerilmektedir.Article Ageless Wisdom: a Cross-Cultural Study on Enhancing Life Satisfaction Through Skills Promotion Among Older Adults(Ani Publishing, 2024-04-30) Adele Gaia De Stefani; Burçin Önder; Kaygın, Hüseyin; Ulus, İhsan Çağatay; Ratkowska-Pasikowska, Justyna; Ertürk, Nesrin Oruç; Onder, Burcin; Stefani, Adele Gaia De; Bulun, Sebnem NigarThis article explores the pervasive issue of ageism and its detrimental effects on the elderly population. Ageism or the prejudice and discrimination against older adults based on their age, can have significant impact on their well-being and life satisfaction. However, the article also delves into the potential positive effects of continuous learning on reducing ageism and enhancing the life satisfaction of the elderly. As a proactive approach, lifelong learning presents an opportunity for the elderly to challenge stereotypes, remain engaged in society, and foster personal growth. This study highlights how training and educational programs can empower older adults, instilling a sense of purpose and accomplishment, leading to a more fulfilled and satisfying life in their later years. The main purpose was to investigate how continuous learning affects the lives and life satisfaction perception of elderly people over the age of 65 from Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Turkey after one week and 25 hours of technology, art and psychotherapy trainings that are believed to support them in every aspect of life.Article Citation - WoS: 2Validation of the Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaire in Older Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(Dokuz Eylul Univ Inst Health Sciences, 2021-09-20) Aktan, Ridvan; Ozalevli, Sevgi; Yalcinkaya, Gamze; Alpaydin, Aylin Ozgen; Sevinc, CanPurpose: There are not many questionnaires that have proven validity and reliability in evaluating the level of physical activity in older patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In clinical and scientific studies, it is important to quickly determine the physical activity level of patients in terms of time management. The aim of the study was to examine the validity of the rapid assessment of physical activity (RAPA) questionnaire in older patients with COPD. Methods: A total of 105 older patients with COPD surveyed the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) and after 2 weeks RAPA questionnaire as well. The IPAQ-SF was accepted as the gold standard for physical activity assessment in COPD. Furthermore, patients were assessed for a 6-min walking test (6MWT) and perceived dyspnea (with modified medical research dyspnea scale (mMRC)). Correlation coefficients (r) was used for the relationship between RAPA and IPAQ-SF. Results: There were significant positive correlations between RAPA and IPAQ-SF total score (r = 0.968, p<0.001), 6MWT (r = 0.626, p<0.001), in addition to significant negative correlation between the RAPA and mMRC scores (r = -0.454, p<0.001). The RAPA showed good sensitivity (87.5%) and a specificity (100%) value. Positive and negative predictive values of the RAPA were 100% and 96.4% respectively. Conclusion: This study showed the RAPA was an easy-to-use, valid, and reliable questionnaire to measure physical activity levels in older patients with COPD.Article Citation - WoS: 3The Role of Community-Based Health Practice on the Improvement of Healthcare Students' Communication, Empathy and Perception of the Elderly: a Qualitative Study at Izmir University of Economics(Istanbul Univ, Fac Communication, 2021-08-25) Aksoy, Zeynep; Gokdemir, Ozden; Şemin, Makbule İlgi; Semin, IlgiInterpersonal communication involving empathy is of great importance in therapeutic relationships in healthcare. To equip medical/healthcare students with interpersonal communication skills, community-based health education provides real-life contexts in which they engage with the community as part of the curriculum. A community-based health practice (CBHP) was implemented at Izmir University of Economics (IUE) to improve students' communication, empathy and perception towards the elderly. Within an interdisciplinary collaboration among the medicine, nursing, elderly-care and physiotherapy programs, a total of 111 students participated in the project. This study aimed to evaluate the role of the CBHP on students' communication, empathy and perception of the elderly. Taking a qualitative approach, focus group interviews were organized with students (n=22). Descriptive analysis of the qualitative data revealed that students witnessed the loneliness of elderly individuals, their physical and psychosocial needs, which resulted in a high degree of empathy. Furthermore, the study also aimed to gain insights from elderly participants via in-depth interviews (n=9). Results demonstrated that the participants felt valued and useful during the communication processes with the students. In conclusion, CBHP contributed to students' perceptions and empathy towards the elderly; meanwhile the elderly individuals were satisfied with the interest of the medical, nursing and healthcare students.
