The study realized in 79 seniorsin Assisted Living Facilities in the Aydın city aged ≥65 years. Data were collected with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and health related quality of life was assessed by HQL SF-36 form. The PSQI total score of <5 indicates good sleep quality. Correlation analysis was used in order to explore the correlation between sleep quality and age and quality of life. To determine factors affecting sleep quality regression analysis was used. In the study, the mean PSQI score was 9.83±3.6 and 89% seniors have objectively poor sleep quality according to with PSQI. Overall subjective sleep quality during the past month was very good, fairly good, fairly bad, and very bad in, 4%, 38.3%, 38.3%, and 18.7% of the respondents respectively.

Background The increase in the elderly population is causing changes and challenges that demand a comprehensive public health response. A specific characteristic of the elderly is their frailty. Today’s problems with identifying levels of frailty are being resolved by numerous tools in the form of frailty assessment scales. This systematic review establishes which frailty assessment scales for the elderly are being used and what their applicability in primary care is like in Slovenia and around the world. Methods Documents published after 2010 were searched for in the PubMed database using keywords and other specific criteria. Results A total of 177 search hits were obtained based on various search strings. The final analysis included 28 articles, of which three were systematic literature reviews. These three covered quantitative studies, mainly consisting of observational cross-sectional surveys or cohort studies. Three other studies featured non-systematic literature reviews. Quantitative studies (mainly cross-sectional surveys or cohort studies) prevailed among the remaining 22 articles. One study had a qualitative design (Delphi method). The main outcome measures observed by all studies were frailty assessment scales for the elderly, the majority of which were evaluated on a sample of the elderly. Conclusions None of the assessment scales examined are used as the gold standard for primary care. A variety of tools are being used in clinical practice to assess frailty in elderly patients, highlighting the need for standardization and guidelines. This requires evaluating the current assessment scales in terms of validity and reliability, and suitably improving them.
