Öğe The Fear of Falling, Physical Activity, and Quality of Life in Elderly After COVID-19(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Goktas, Ayse; Inal, Ozgu; Ozkan, Esma; Ozdinc, SevgiThe COVID-19 negatively affected the physical and mental health of elderly due to pandemic-related restrictions. This study aimed to investigate the influences on fear of falling, physical activity level, and quality of life in older people living in the community after the COVID-19. Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE), and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) were used to study. One hundred fifty individuals older than 65 years. Results indicated that 69.3% of the individuals had fallen in the past 6 months. FES-I showed that the elderly had moderate FES-I (31.95 +/- 10.55), and PASE showed that this cohort had severe activity limitation (85.42 +/- 56.45) and low NHP (213.62 +/- 143.45). There was negative association between FES-I and PASE levels (rho = .000, r = -0.291) and a moderate negative association between. FES-I and NHP (rho = .000, r = 0.577). The variables for the number of falls and FES-I were included in the multiple linear regression analysis and model formed with FES-I that predicted PASE level was statistically significant. As a result, it is important to raise awareness about older individuals' concerns regarding falling to implement essential measures that can effectively alleviate such fears.. In this context, it is advisable to explore innovative clinical and policy strategies that can facilitate the seamless integration of interdisciplinary preventive care for vulnerable elderly individuals, with the overarching aim of enhancing their overall quality of life. Plain Language Summary - SO-23-1238 In the current study, it was determined that the fear of falling decreased the level of activity and negatively affected the quality of life. The current study, unlike the previous literature, was carried out after the removal of prohibitions such as the curfew related to Covid-19. For this reason, after these prohibitions, it provides new information about the fear of falling and the level of physical activity of elderly individuals. Studies on elderly individuals during the Covid-19 period provide limited information about the fear of falling and the level of physical activity of these individuals. It is important to increase the awareness of the elderly about the fear of falling, to determine the risks of falling and to take the necessary precautions to eliminate the fear of falling. The older ageing people can be educated in order to reduce the risk and fear of falling and to increase physical activity levels. It is possible to increase the social participation and physical activity levels of the older ageing by making environmental planning, not only indoors but also outdoors.Öğe Investigation of the effect of social support perceived by workplace employees on anxiety and job satisfaction during COVID-19(Ios Press, 2022) Goktas, Ayse; Ozdinc, SevgiBACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a major cause of stress and anxiety at work. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of the support provided to the employees by the workplaces about the depression, anxiety, stress, job satisfaction of the employees during the COVID-19. METHOD: The inclusion criterias were as follows: being between 18 and 65 years old, working at the time of the survey. The study self-administered included Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS), Organizational Support Perception Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). RESULTS: In total, 260 people (mean age 38.17 +/- 14.9 years, 148 female) completed the survey. Extremely severe depression displayed on 39.9 %, extremely severe anxiety on 37.1%, and severe stress on 28.3% of the participants. Scores for depression (9.6 +/- 9.03), anxiety (7.2 +/- 7.04), stress (11.7 +/- 7.8) were also high for employees. It was observed that the average of organizational support score was 30.4 +/- 7.24, and the average job satisfaction score was 28.6 +/- 5.35. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between organizational support and job satisfaction (r = 0.562, p = 0.00). Considering the relationship between organizational support and DASS scale; there was negative correlation between (r =-0.161, p = 0.013). The results of the regression indicated that the model explained 32.9 % of the variance and that the model was a significant predictor, F (2,66)=117.145, p < 0.001. CONCLUSION: Organizational support are associated with a decline in mental health and job satisfaction. Health-promotion strategies directed at adopting or maintaining positive job organizational support-related behaviors should be utilized to address increases in psychological distress during the pandemic.
