Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 salgını sırasında yaşlı bireylerde uyum güçlüğü ile spiritüel iyi oluş düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışmanın örneklemini, Mayıs-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında online olarak çalışmaya katılım sağlayan 214 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında, “Birey Tanıtım Formu” “Yaşlılarda Uyum Güçlüğünü Değerlendirme Ölçeği (YUGDÖ)” ve “Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği (SİOÖ)” kullanılmıştır. Veriler Pearson korelasyon testi ve Multiple linear regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan yaşlı bireylerin %41.2'si 65-69 yaş grubunda olup, yarıdan fazlası kadındır (%57.9). Katılımcıların “Yaşlılarda Uyum Güçlüğünü Değerlendirme Ölçeği” (YUDDÖ) toplam puan ortalaması 0.83±0.63 iken, “Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği” (SİOÖ) toplam puan ortalaması 118.78±16.37’dir. Katılımcıların YUDDÖ ve SİOÖ puan ortalamaları arasında negatif yönde orta düzeyde ilişki bulunmuştur (r = -0.463, p = 0.000). “Yaşlılarda Uyum Güçlüğünü Değerlendirme Ölçeği”’nin, “Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği” toplam puanı (β  = -0.014), yaş (65-69 aralığı) (β = 0.094), sigara kullanma (β = 0.220) ve genel sağlık durumunu değerlendirmesi (iyi) (β  = 0.456) tarafından yordandığı bulunmuştur (p < 0.05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, yaşlı bireylerin yaşlılığa uyum düzeyi arttıkça, spiritüel iyi oluş düzeylerinin de arttığı bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte, yaşlılarda görülen uyum güçlüğünün bazı sosyo-demografik ve bireysel özelliklerden etkilendiği görülmektedir..

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between adaptation difficulties and spiritual well-being levels in elderly individuals during the COVID-19 epidemic. Method: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 214 elderly individuals who participated in the study online between May and August 2021. The data were collected using the "Individual Identification Form", "The Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE)" and the "Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS)". Data were evaluated by Pearson correlation test and Multiple linear regression analysis. Results: 41.2% of the elderly individuals participating in the study are in the 65-69 age group, and more than half of them are female (57.9%). While the total score average of the participants on the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE) was 0.83 ± 0.63, the total mean score on the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) was 118.78 ± 16.37. A moderately negative correlation was found between the participants' ASADE and SWBS scores (r = -0.463, p = 0.000). The Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly, Spiritual Well-Being Scale total score (β  = -0.014), age (range 65-69) (β = 0.094), smoking (β = 0.220), and assessment of general health (good) (β  = 0.456) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: As a result, it was found that as the level of adaptation to old age increases, the level of spiritual well-being of the elderly individuals also increases. On the other hand, it is seen that the adaptation difficulties seen in the elderly are affected by some socio-demographic and individual characteristics.
