Abstract
Yaşlanan dünyamız ile birlikte ülkemizde de nüfusun giderek yaşlanması, yaşlıların sağlık ve bakım problemlerinin her geçen gün artarak önem kazanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Bursa Belediyesi’ne bağlı üç huzur evi ziyaret edilerek, yaşlıların bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerinin incelenmesi, en sık rastlanılan sağlık problemlerinin belirlenmesi ve kendi bakış açıları ile huzur evinde yaşamın özelliklerinin tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır. Mayıs 2001 döneminde, huzur evleri ziyaret edilerek yaşlılara yüz yüze görüşme tekniği ile anket uygulamasının ardından, fizik muayeneleri yapılarak çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubunun %60,1’i erkek, %39,9’u kadın ve yaş ortalamaları 69,98±0,78 idi. Hiçbir sağlık güvencesi olmayanların oranı % 35,2 idi. %14,5’i lise ve yüksek okul mezunu, %45’i ise yalnızca okur yazar idi. %78,8’inde en az bir veya daha fazla kronik hastalık vardı. Yapılan fizik muayenede en sık diş, kulak ve kardiovasküler sisteme ait bulgular tespit edildi. Yaşlılar genel olarak huzur evinde bulunmaktan hoşnut olmakla birlikte, fizik ortamlarının daha ziyade yurt veya misafirhane ortamı gibi olmasının, ev özlemi yaşamalarına neden olduğunu dile getirmişlerdir.
Together with our ageing world, the ageing of the population in our country makes the health and care problems of elder people more important every day. By visiting the three rest-homes of Bursa Municipality, we aimed to examine the socio-demographical characteristics of these people, to find out their most frequent health problems and to define the properties of rest-home life, according to the own descriptions of their elder residents. The rest-homes were visited in May 2001, where first the face-to-face interviews with the elder people were done, followed by their physical examinations. 60,1% and 39,9% of the study group were male and female, respectively, with a mean age of 69,98±0,78.Of the study group, 35,2% had no health insurance at all, 14,5% were graduated from colleges or universities, whereas 45% were just literate. 78,8% had at least one chronic disease. At the physical examinations, problems were found most frequently in dents, ears and in the cardiovascular system. The elder people were generally content to live in the rest-homes, but they added that the atmosphere is like a hostel or resthouse, which makes them miss their homes.
