The aim of this study was to determine the effects of television viewing rates on elderly people and on anxiety and depression levels. This study was descriptive and consisted of women over 60 years of age living in the central district of Isparta. The sample consisted of 218 women who agreed to participate in the study. Form and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were used to form the descriptive features of the elderly, to question the causes of television viewing. 43.6% of the elderly were between the ages of 70-79 and average time of watching television was 5.83±1.79 hours. The score obtained from the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was 46.31. A statistically significant relationship was found between the ones who watched television (95.87%) and those who did not (4.13%) (p<0.05). As a result; we recommend that elderly people should be analyzed and viewed more constructively with all aspects of their television program content.
