“…There was no study in literature that assessed that impact of social support on adaptation to old age. However, it was reported that reminiscence therapy during house visits to older women increased adaptation to old age 18 . Based on this, considering that the reminiscence therapy increases interpersonal interaction, communication and sharing 19 , social support can also have positive effect on adaptation to old age.…”

Öz Purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between the older people' adaptation to old age and perceived social support level. Materials and Methods: We conducted this descriptive study with 530 older people aged 65 and above in a training and research hospital. For data analysis, we used Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis-H test, Spearman's correlation analysis and multiple linear regression model. Results: We found that the total mean score for Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly was 1.07±0.73 and the total score for Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was 37.30±13.36. There was a statistically significant relationship between the older people' total mean Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly scores and total Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support scores. In addition, age, gender, marital status, education and income level, chronic disease presence variables were found to affect adaptation to old age. Conclusion: The level of social support for the older people can be important in ensuring the adaptation to old age. We recommend that the health personnel regularly assess the older people' adaptation to old age and social support sources. Amaç: Bu araştırma yaşlı bireylerin yaşlılığa uyumları ile algılanan sosyal destek düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu çalışma, bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesine başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri 530 yaşlı birey ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin analizinde Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis-H testi, Spearman's korelasyon analizi ve çoklu lineer regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada yaşlı bireylerin Yaşlılığa Uyum Güçlüğünü Değerlendirme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 1.07±0.73 olduğu ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği toplam puanın 37.30±13.36 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada yaşlı bireylerin Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği toplam puanı ile Yaşlılığa Uyum Güçlüğünü Değerlendirme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi, kronik hastalık varlığı değişkenlerinin yaşlılığa uyumu etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda yaşlı bireylerin sosyal destek düzeyinin yaşlılığa uyum sağlamada etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaşlı bireylerin yaşlılığa uyumunun ve sosyal destek kaynaklarının sağlık çalışanları tarafından düzenli olarak değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

“…In the literature, there are only a limited number of studies on PMR and other non‐pharmacological interventions on adaptation to old age. It has been reported that reminiscence therapy applied to elderly women, 19 and the nursing care applied to elderly individuals according to Roy's adaptation model, 7 increase adaptation to old age. In a study by Nalawade and Nikhade (2016), it was found that Jacobson's progressive muscle relaxation technique increases elderly individuals' satisfaction with life 17 .…”

“…In the study of Şişman and Kutlu, 7 it was reported that nursing care given to elderly individuals according to the Roy Adaptation Model has a positive effect on adaptation to old age. In the study of Duru Aşiret and Dutkun 19 on applied reminiscence therapy for elderly women, it was determined that it increased adaptation to old age. No study has been found that evaluates the effect of PMR on elderly people's adaptation to old age.…”

Background The changes that occur during the ageing process affect the mental health of individuals and their adaptation to old age. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises on the depression level of elderly women and their adaptation to old age. Methods A randomised controlled trial design was used. The sample consisted of 49 elderly women (21 intervention and 28 controls) from a family health centre of a city in Turkey. The research data were collected using the introductory information form, Mini‐Mental State Examination, Barthel index, Geriatric Depression‐15 Scale, and Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly. Two home visits were made to women in the first and eighth week of the application. PMR was applied by women in the intervention group in 28 min sessions three times a week for 8 weeks. During the 8 weeks the women were called by the researcher once a week and PMR was reminded. Results As a result of the PMR exercises performed for 8 weeks, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean Geriatric Depression‐15 Scale and Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly scores of the women in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion In this study, it was found that PMR exercises reduce the depression level of elderly women and increase their adaptation to old age.

“…The a priori power analysis was conducted with repeated measures. The effect size was calculated using the approaches outlined in previous studies 33 . Accordingly, the minimum number of samples to be reached with an effect size f = 0.399, with 0.80 power and α = 0.05 error probability, was calculated as 40 people (20 people in each group).…”

Background Changes occurring in the aging process, the presence of decline in physical and cognitive functions, and the limitations of participation in activities affect adaptation to old age and the quality of life. This study aimed to examine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercises on adaptation to old age and the quality of life of older people. Methods A randomized controlled trial design was used. The sample consisted of 45 older residents (21 intervention subjects, 24 controls) from a nursing home in a city of Turkey. The intervention group received progressive muscle‐relaxation sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks, while the control group received routine care. All PMR exercises were led by the researcher. All participants were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks using the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly and the Nottingham Health Profile. Results As a result of PMR exercises performed for 8 weeks, the Assessment Scale of Adaptation Difficulty for the Elderly and Nottingham Health Profile total mean scores of the intervention group improved significantly (P < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was observed, however, when comparing the intervention and control groups in terms of the level of adjustment to old age and health‐related quality of life, either at baseline or following the intervention (P > 0.05). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that progressive muscle relaxation can increase adaptation to old age and the quality of life and of older people in a nursing home.
