Examining the Relationship Between Self Efficacy Perception and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior of Elderly Individuals Taking Care at Home
Abstract
Some physical, mental, and social changes that occur with increasing age in elderly people reduce their functional capacities, increase their need for assistance, lengthen hospital stays, and impose a material and moral burden. The purpose of this study was to look into the relationship between self-efficacy perception and healthy lifestyle behavior in elderly people who are cared for at home. It is a descriptive investigation. The study's participants comprised of 258 elderly people. The information was gathered using the Patient Diagnosis Form, the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II, and the Self Efficacy-Sufficiency Scale.While the total point average obtained from the Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale-II was 123.08±22.86, the total point average of Self Efficacy-Sufficiency Scale was 72.37±15.16. The total point average of the healthy lifestyle behavior scale-II and the self-efficacy sufficiency scale were both positive, and a significant relationship at the middle level (r=.623 p=.000) was discovered. Given that self-efficacy sufficiency perception is a critical determinant of healthy lifestyle behavior, trainings that increase self-efficacy sufficiency perception while also providing sustainability may be suggested.

Evde Bakım Hizmeti Alan Yaşlı Bireylerin Öz Etkililik Algıları ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi
Abstract
Yaşlı bireylerde artan yaşla birlikte ortaya çıkan fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal alanlardaki bazı değişiklikler fonksiyonel kapasitelerini azaltmakta, hastanede kalış sürelerini uzatmakta ve yardım ihtiyaçlarını artırmakta, maddi ve manevi yük getirmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı evde bakım alan yaşlı bireylerin öz-etkililik algıları ile sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 258 yaşlı birey oluşturmuştur. Veriler Hasta Tanı Formu, Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranış Ölçeği II ve Öz Yeterlik-Yeterlilik Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranış Ölçeği-II toplam puan ortalaması 123.08±22.86, Öz Yeterlik-Yeterlilik Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 72.37±15.16'dır. Sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranış ölçeği-II ile öz-etkililik ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında pozitif yönde, orta düzeyde, anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r=.623 p=.000). Sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının öz-etkililik algısının yaşamsal bir belirleyicisi olduğu düşünüldüğünde öz-etkililik algısını artıran ve sürdürülebilirliği sağlayan hemşirelik eğitimleri önerilebilir.
