Rapid ageing all over the world is changing the population rates and social structure of the society. The change causes some structural transformations in family structures and social life as well as demographic structures of countries. The subject has been handled by experts in many aspects and theories and approaches to old age have been produced. The 'decline in functional capacity', which starts to decrease as the individual gets older, is the remarkable problem of old age. Social, environmental and economic factors, as well as physical factors, affect the lives of the older persons, and the 'capacity range for maintaining function', which is high in adulthood, opens with old age, thus 'functional capacity' decreases. "Active ageing", which is one of the theories of ageing, reveals the increase in physical limitations/inadequacies as ageing individuals get older because they do not have a homogenous group. The approach also emphasises the 'c...

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.

Mediterranean Journal of Humanities, 2017
Kadınların çalışma, eğitim ve sosyal hayatlarında çeşitli problemler yaşadıkları bilinmektedir. Bu problemleri çözmeye ve kadınların refahını artırmaya yönelik pek çok çalışma yapılmakta ve hatta konu ile ilgili olarak çeşitli istihdam alanları oluşturulmaktadır. Kadın refahını artırmaya yönelik yapılan bu çalışmaların etkinliği ve verimliliği üzerinde o alanda çalışan meslek elemanlarının rolü oldukça fazladır. Bu düşünceden hareketle yapılan araştırmada kadın refahını artırmaya yönelik çalışan meslek elemanlarının mesleki yeterlilik ve iş doyumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu noktada nitel araştırma tekniği özelliği taşıyan çalışma 65 meslek elemanıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında öncelikli olarak katılımcıların demografik bilgileri alınmış, sonrasında aldıkları eğitim, mesleğe başlamadan önceki beklentileri, bu beklentilerinin karşılanıp karşılanmadığı, üniversiteden aldıkları eğitimlerin mesleki anlamda yeterli olup olmadığı, çalıştıkları kurumda oryantasyon eğitimi alıp almadıkları gibi bilgiler sorgulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, örneklem grubunu oluşturan meslek elemanlarının gerek aldıkları eğitimin niteliği ve niceliği gerekse mesleki anlamda iş doyumu ve yeterliliği konularında problemlerle karşı karşıya kaldıkları görülmüştür.

economical problems. Sometimes the family is unable to look
after the elderly people due to their hunt for living, education,
internal or external immigration. In addition, working
conditions might make them neglect elderly people. For all

mercy for family and elderly people.
