Özet
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of self-care ability and life satisfaction on the levels of hope in elderly people. Methods: This study was conducted at three family health care centers in Malatya between November 20, 2014, and January 1, 2015. The study population consisted of 4181 people older than 65 years of age who were selected from 3 out of 10 family health care centers in Malatya, which were determined by lot. The sample size was determined to be 320 elderly people with 0.05 margin of error at 0.95 confidence interval, and each family health care center was accepted as a cluster. Earmuzu Family Healthcare Center hosted 1653 elderly people, Ozalper 1939 elderly people, and Tevfik Unsalan 589 elderly people. Population weighting was performed for these clusters, and 127 elderly people were selected from Earmuzu, 148 from Ozalper, and 45 from Tevfik Unsalan using the simple random sampling method. The data were collected using introductory information form, Self-Care Ability Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Hope Scale. Results: A statistically positive relationship was observed between self-care ability and life satisfaction, and self-care ability and hope. However, no statistically significant relationship was found between life satisfaction and hope. This indicated that the elderly people with good self-care ability looked to the future with hope. Conclusion: Elderly people needed the help of other people in meeting their daily self-care needs. Social support and educational programs should be developed to promote caring of the elderly people at home.
