“…Geropsikiyatri hemşireleri bu gereksinimleri karşılarken yaşlı bireyin fiziksel ve psikososyal bakımını birlikte gerçekleştirebileceği yaşlı bakım modellerini kullanmalıdır (Akyar, 2011;Terkeş, 2018). Literatür bilgilerine göre gerek fiziksel gerek nörodejeneratif değişimler nedeniyle işlevselliği azalmış yaşlı bireylere yönelik klinik ve evde bakımda uygulanabilecek bakım modelleri mevcuttur (Gümüş ve ark, 2012;Kovach ve ark, 2005;Terkeş ve ark, 2018).…”

One of the most important demographic phenomena of the last century is the gradual ageing of the population and the increasing number of elderly people. In order to maintain the physical and cognitive functionality of elderly individuals and to protect their quality of life, more structured preventive measures should be taken. Health professionals should plan professional practices to prevent secondary ageing in old age and to maintain the existing functionality of elderly individuals. There are care models that can be applied in clinical and home care for elderly individuals with reduced functionality due to both physical and neurodegenerative changes. The aim of this review study is to discuss the care models used in clinical and home care of the elderly within the framework of the literature. As a conclusion, not only the physical care needs of elderly individuals, but also their psychosocial care needs can be met with care models. While the functionality of elderly individuals is maintained with clinical and home care models, the quality of life of their relatives also increases. Especially when caring for elderly individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders, nurses may have difficulty in planning and evaluating appropriate care. On the other hand, considering that attitudes towards elderly individuals affect the quality of care, care models that can be applied at home and in the clinic for elderly individuals should be included in nursing education.

Background This study aims to reveal the effect of the Mindfulness‐Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on the perceived stress and geriatric depression levels of older adults. Methods The data of this randomised controlled experimental study were obtained from older adults living in a nursing home in Turkey, between May and November, 2021. The target population consisted of 54 older adults living in the specified nursing home, and the sample consisted of 48 older adults who met the inclusion criteria (n = 24 intervention group, n = 24 control group). The MBSR program was applied to the older adults in the intervention group. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Geriatric Depression Scale‐Short Form. Results It was revealed that the MBSR program led to a 54.7% decrease in the perceived stress total scores of the participants, and a 49.9% and 49.8% decrease in the sub‐dimensions of perceived insufficient self‐efficacy and perceived stress/distress, respectively. It was also found that the program reduced geriatric depression scores by 14.1% and created a significant effect (P < 0.05). Conclusions It can be concluded that the MBSR program is an effective method in reducing the perceived stress and geriatric depression levels of older adults. This effect has been maintained 1 month after the completion of the program.
