ÖZET
Amaç: Yaşlı insanlarda düşme korkusu, sadece düşmeler için
bir risk faktörü değildir, aynı zamanda sağlık sorunları ile de ilişkilidir.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, toplumda yaşayan yaşlılarda düşme korkusunun
uyku kalitesi, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişkisini araştırmaktı.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, Mini Mental Durum Değerlendirme
Testi ≥25 olan 65 yaş üstü 150 yaşlıyı içeriyordu. Uluslararası Düşme
Etkinlik Skalası ile düşme korkusu, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalite İndeksi ile
uyku kalitesi, Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği ile depresyon ve Kısa Form-
36 ile yaşam kalitesi verileri toplandı. Bulgular: Düşme korkusu olan
ve olmayan katılımcılarda; uyku kalitesi, depresyon ve yaşam kalitesi
anlamlı olarak farklıydı. Düşme korkusu, depresyon ve uyku kalitesi
skorları ile pozitif, yaşam kalitesi ile negatif olarak korele idi. Regresyon
analizine göre uyku kalitesi ve depresyon skorları düşme korkusu
ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdi. Fiziksel işlevsellik ve ağrı alt ölçekleri
ise düşme korkusu skorları ile negatif korelasyon gösterdi. Sonuç: Bu
çalışmada, kötü uyku kalitesi, depresif belirtiler ve düşük yaşam kalitesi
yaşlı insanlarda düşme korkusu ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Toplumda
yaşayan yaşlılarda düşme korkusunu azaltmak için uyku kalitesini, psikolojik
sağlığı ve yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmeye yönelik girişimler planlamak
faydalı olabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Yaşlılık; düşme korkusu; uyku kalitesi; depresyon; yaşam kalitesi
ABSTRACT
Objective: Fear of falling is not only a risk factor for
falls it is also associated with health problems in older people. The purpose
of this study was to explore the relationship of fear of falling with
sleep quality, depression, and quality-of life in community-dwelling elderly.
Material and Methods: The study included 150 communitydwelling
elderly aged ≥65 with Mini Mental State Examination score
≥25. Data on fear of falling were collected by Falls Efficacy Scale-International,
sleep quality by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality-Index, depression
by Geriatric Depression Scale, and quality-of life by Short Form-36.
Results: Sleep quality, depression, and quality-of life were significantly
different in participants with and without fear of falling. Fear of falling
was correlated with depression and sleep quality scores positively, and
with quality of life negatively. According to the regression analysis,
positive correlations with fear of falling were sleep quality and depression
scores. Physical functioning and pain-subscales were negatively
correlated with fear of falling scores. Conclusion: In this study; poor
sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and lower quality of life were associated
with higher fear of falling in older people. It may be beneficial
to design targeted interventions to improve sleep quality, psychological
health, and quality-of life for reducing fear of falling in community-
dwelling older people.
Keywords: Elderly; fear of falling; sleep quality; depression; quality of life
