Özet
Objective Skin dryness is a common dermatological problem among older people.We aimed to evaluate the frequency of moisturiser use and awareness of its benefits among older people. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study included 556 individuals over 65 years of age, all of whom were patients at family medicine and dermatology outpatient clinics at a tertiary teaching hospital. Data were summarised descriptively and analysed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 556 individuals who participated in the study, 241 were women and 315 were men. Moisturisers were being used by 217 patients (39%), and 91 patients (16.4%) classified the use of skin moisturisers as skincare. Conclusion We found that individuals over 65 years of age had insufficient knowledge regarding the use and benefits of skin moisturisers.
