Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between activities, environment and life satisfaction of older adults who were registered to a family life centre. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five olderadult aged sixty years and over were participated to the study. Activity Analysis Questionnaire was used which was developed by the researchers. The performance and the satisfaction from the given activities was assessed by Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors was used to analyze the problems that older-adults encountered in their environment; the Life satisfaction was assessed with Life Satisfaction Scale. Results: No significant relationship between participants’ life satisfaction scores and activity participant levels were found (p>0.05). However, significant correlation between level of activity importance and life satisfaction scores were found. The higher levels of life satisfaction were reported by older adults who were independent in self-care activities, participate in cultural activities and watch television in the evening (p<0.05). Political problems were most common in enviromental problems, as negative attitudes were least. Significant correlation were found between life satisfaction scores and total scores of physical enviroment and services. conclusion: Participation to the meaningful activities for older adults may effect their life satisfaction. This study reveals requirement of the assessment activities which older adults did also with the activity importance for them. However, older adults’ life satisfaction could be increased with occupational therapy assessments and interventions according to enviromental factors that may impact activities

Abstract (Turkish)

Yaşlılarda Aktivite, Çevre ve Yaşam Memnuniyeti İlişkisi

Bu çalışmanın amacı aile yaşam merkezine kayıtlı olan yaşlıların aktivite, çevre ve yaşam memnuniyeti ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya 60 yaş ve üzeri 55 kişi katıldı. Katılımcılara çalışmacılar tarafından oluşturulan aktivite analizi anketi uygulandı ve bu aktivitelerdeki performans ve tatmin Kanada Aktivite Performans Ölçümü (COPM) ile değerlendirildi. Bireylerin yaşadıkları çevrede karşılaştıkları problemler Craig Hastanesi Çevresel Faktörler Anketi ile incelenirken; yaşam memnuniyeti Yaşam Memnuniyet Skalası ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Katılımcıların yaşam memnuniyeti ve aktivitelere katılma düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p>0,05). Bununla birlikte aktivitelerin önem derecesi ile yaşam memnuniyeti arasında anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu aktiviteler tespit edildi. Kendine bakım aktivitelerini bağımsız yapan, kültürel aktivitelere katılan, akşam saatlerinde televizyon izleyen bireylerin yaşam memnuniyetleri yüksek olarak bulundu (p<0,05). Çevresel problemlere ilişkin olarak en fazla problemin politikalarda, en az problemin ise olumsuz tutumlarda olduğu saptandı. Yaşam memnuniyeti ile çevresel faktörler toplam puanı, çevresel faktörlerin alt grubu fiziksel çevre/ortam ve hizmetler arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulundu. Tartışma: Yaşlıların önem verdikleri aktivitelere katılımlarının, yaşam memnuniyetlerini etkileyebileceği görülmektedir. Bu çalışma yaşlı bireylerin yaptıkları aktivitelerle birlikte aktiviteye verdikleri önemin de değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Bununla birlikte, yaşlı bireylerin yaşam memnuniyetini arttırmak amacı ile aktiviteyi etkileyen çevresel faktörlerle ilgili ergoterapi değerlendirme ve müdahalelerinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir
