Huzurevinde ve Evde Yaşayan Yaşlılarda Yaşam Kalitelerinin Karşılaştırılması ve Bu Durumun Sosyo‐Demografik Faktörlerle İlişkisi
Öz: Amaç: Hızla artan yaşlı nüfusta yaşam kalitesinin iyileştirilmesi, iyi sağlık standardı için anahtar rol oynamaktadır. Araştırmamızda huzurevinde ve kendi evinde yaşayan yaşlıların yaşam kalitelerini etkileyen faktörler tespit edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışmaya Mart‐Kasım 2014 tarihleri arasında Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniğine başvuran 65 yaş ve üstü 198 birey ile huzurevinde yaşayan 202 birey olmak üzere toplam 400 kişi alındı. Araştırmamızda kişilerin sosyodemeografik bilgilerini sorgulayan bir anket formu ve Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından geliştirilen yaşam kalitesi ölçeği kısa formunun Türkçe versiyonu uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 188’i (%47,00) erkek ve 212’si (%53,00) kadın olmak üzere toplam 400 hasta katıldı. Bunların 202'sini (%50,50) kendi evinde kalan bireyler 198'ini (%49,50) ise huzurevinde kalan bireylerdi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması kendi evinde kalanlarda 73,266,68 iken huzurevinde kalanlarda 73,197,27 idi. Kendi evinde yaşayanların bedensel, ruhsal, sosyal ilişkiler ve çevre alanı skoru huzurevinde kalanlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p<0,001). Sonuç: Araştırmamıza göre kendi evinde yaşayanların yaşam kalitesi huzurevinde yaşayanlardan daha yüksektir. Kendi evinde yaşayan bireylerde ileri yaşın, medeni durumun, yüksek eğitim düzeyi, yüksek gelir düzeyi, çocuk sahibi olmama; huzurevinde yaşayan bireylerde ise ileri yaşın, kadın cinsiyet ve kronik hastalık varlığı yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkilemekteydi
