Background: Many physical and psychosocial changes occur in elderly people due to aging. These changes affect the adaptation, coping style, and quality of life of elderly people. This study was conducted to determine the adaptation difficulty to the process of aging and religious coping styles used by elderly people. Methods: The research was conducted as a cross-sectional type. The sample consisted of 505 elderly people from seven family health centres of a city in Turkey. Data were collected via a personal information form, the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly, and the Religious Coping Scale. Results: The adaptation difficulty for the elderly total mean score was 0.52 (SD = 0.56). The positive religious coping mean score was 23.49 (SD = 5.30), and the negative religious coping mean score was 7.88 (SD = 3.20). While there was a negative weak relationship between the adaptation difficulty for the elderly and the positive religious coping (r = −0.147, P = 0.001), there was no significant relation between the adaptation difficulty for the elderly and the negative religious coping (r = −0.028, P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results revealed that adaptation difficulty to the process of aging is low, elderly people use positive coping strategies, and adaptation to old age increased as positive coping strategies were used. Factors that affect religious coping must be considered to improve the health of elderly people.

“…In the studies conducted in the literature, it is reported that the quality of life of elderly individuals are negatively affected by the factors such as chronic illness (İlhan, Arpacı, Havaoğlu, Kalyoncuoğlu, Sarı, 2016), multiple drug use (Gencer & Arica, 2017), long-term inpatient treatment (Yılmaz & Tekin, 2017), urinary incontinence (Demir & Erbesler, 2017), and living alone (Gencer & Arica, 2017). Furthermore, it is stated that negative life events experienced at younger ages (such as violence, neglect, abuse, chronic illness) negatively affect the quality of life during the old age period (Yılmaz & Tekin, 2017).…”

The changes that occur with age affect the older people's quality of life. This study aimed at determining the effect of older people's adaptation to old age on their health-related quality of life. This descriptive study was conducted with 250 older people that applied to the outpatient clinics of the Research and Training Hospital of Aksaray University between the dates of 15 January and 15 June 2017. The study data were collected by using an introductory information form, "Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly (ASADE)" and "Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)". The study data were assessed by using descriptive statistical methods, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis, Spearman Correlation Test and multilinear regression model. This study found that older people's adaptation to old age and their health-related quality of life were at a good level. As their score from ASADE increased, their score from NHP increased (r=0.742, p<0.001). In addition, adaptation to old age, gender and expressed health status had a statistically significant on the quality of life (p<0.005). We suggest that the health personnel assess adaptation to old age, which is one of the factors affecting the quality of life, and increase the quality of life by conducting interventions to increase the adaptation to old age.
