“…They also found a strong relationship between occassional falls and advanced age, poor perception of their health status, pain limiting activity, depression, limitations in basic activities in daily life. Soyuer et al (2015) stated that 65-year-old male elderly residents had less fear of falling than male elderly residents while performing daily activities, and that they had more confidence in themselves. They also indicated that the reason why older women had more fear of falling was associated with the greater rate of falls.…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of gender and living place on the number of falls, the risk of falling, the fear of falling, and balance of older people. A total of 148 volunter elderly individuals (59 women and 89 men living in a nursing home and home) participated in this study. According to the 2X2 ANOVA analysis results; gender showed a statistically significant effect on the number of falls (df = (1, 140), F = 5,777, p= .018), fear of falling (df= (1, 140), F=4,609, p=.034), risk of falling (df= (1, 140), F=5,999, p=.016), functional reach test scores (df= (1, 140), F=10,866, p=.001). Older women were more likely to fall than older men, had a higher risk of falling, fear of falling, and a poorer balance. Living place was showed statistically significant effect on fear of falling (df= (1, 140), F=36,854, p=.000), risk of falling (1, 140), F=5,750, p=.018). While elderly people living in the house had more fear of falling than the elderly living in the nursing home, the older people living in the nursing home had a higher risk of falling than those living at home. Gender*living place interaction had a significant effect on fear of falling (df= (1,140), F=12,056, p=.001). It was observed that both older men and women living at home had more fear of falling than older men and women living at nursing homes. According to Independent Sample t test; Functional reach test scores (balance skills) were found to be higher in the elderly who had a low fall risk. In conlusion; to prevent falls and to take precautions, the risk of falls, fear of falling and balance skills of the elderly should be monitored on a regular basis.

Amaç: İzmir'de huzurevinde yaşayan bireylerde uyku kalitesi ve süresinin düşme ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesidir.Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki araştırma İzmir merkezde Aile, Çalışma ve Sosyal Hizmetler İl Müdürlüğü'ne bağlı 3 huzurevinde yaşayan 180 yaşlıyı kapsamaktadır. Bağımlı değişken son bir yıl içindeki düşme varlığıdır. Bağımsız değişkenler kısa uyku süresi ve kötü uyku kalitesidir. Uyku kalitesi Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Ölçeği (PUKÖ) ile belirlenmiştir. Veri anket aracılığıyla yüz-yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmış, tanımlayıcı veri yüzde dağılımları; ortalama±standart sapma şeklinde sunulmuştur. Nedenselliği belirlemede Ki-kare ya da t testi; Çoklu Lojistik Regresyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların ortalama yaşı 78.2±7.9 (63-97), %51.1'i erkektir. Yaşlı bireylerin %41.1'i son bir yıl içinde en az bir kez düştüğünü belirtmiştir. Yaşlıların %71.1'inin uyku kalitesi kötüdür. Ortalama uyku süresi 7.0±1.9 (3-15) saat ve %61.7'sinin uyku süresi 7 saatten azdır. Uyku kalitesi kötü olanlarda düşme riski 3.7 kat fazladır (OR:3.68 [%95 GA:1.57-8.93] p=0.008). Kısa uyku süresi ile düşme riski arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır. Ayrıca kadınlarda 2.6 kat, bedensel engeli olanlarda 3.8 kat düşme riski yüksek bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Huzurevinde yaşayan yaşlılarda düşme, kötü uyku kalitesi ve kısa uyku süresi sıklığı yüksektir. Kötü uyku kalitesi düşme riskini artırmaktadır.
