Abstract

Amaç: Gittikçe artan yaşlı nüfusunda sağlığı etkileyen faktörlerin bilinmesi olası risklerin önüne geçilmesi ve tedavisi açısından önemlidir. Çalışmamız yaşlı yetişkinlerde genel sağlık durumu ile ilgili görüşleri belirlemek ve cinsiyet farklılıklarını incelemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya kognisyon düzeyi iyi olan (Hodkinson Mental Test 7 puan ve üzeri) 65-97 yaşları arasında toplam 278 (Erkek:158, Kadın:120) gönüllü yaşlı yetişkin dahil edildi. Hastalık Kontrol ve Önleme Merkezi (HKÖM-4) ölçeğinin ilk sorusu yaşlı yetişkinlerin genel sağlık durumunu değerlendirmek için kullanıldı. Genel sağlık durumları mükemmel, çok iyi, iyi, ortalama ve kötü olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Açık uçlu sorular ile mevcut genel sağlık ve yaşam kalitesini etkileyen en önemli konuların ifade edilmesi istendi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan yaşlıların yaş ortalaması 71,74 ± 5,54 yıl (K=71,12±5,29 E=72,22±5,73) idi. Kadınlarda erkekten daha fazla kronik hastalık vardı (p<0,05). Kendi ifadelerinden kadınların çok daha fazla ilaç kullandıkları (p<0.05), artritik problemlere daha yatkın oldukları (p=0.001) ve daha düşük egzersiz seviyesine (p=0.0001) sahip olduklarını bulduk. Kadınlar genel sağlık durumlarını Ortalama (%49,2) olarak tanımlarken, erkekler İyi (%38,0) olarak tanımladı. Kendi ifadeleriyle en önemli sağlık sorunlarının hipertansiyon, artritik problemler ve diabetes mellitus olduğunu bulduk.
Sonuç: Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar yaşlı yetişkinlerin kendi sağlık durumlarının farkında olduğunu ve sağlık durumlarını ağırlıklı olarak Ortalama şeklinde tanımladıklarını göstermiştir. Kronik hastalıklar konusunda kadınlarda erkeklerden daha fazla hastalık bulunduğu ve kadınların daha az egzersiz yaptığı tespit edilmiştir.
