About this study
Official title: Examining the Relationship Between Physical Activity, Life Satisfaction, and Medication Adherence Outcomes Among Older Turkish Adults
This study will examine the relationships between physical activity, life satisfaction, and medication adherence in elderly individuals with chronic diseases. The research will involve participants aged 65 and above, using the The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly scale to assess physical activity, the Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale for life satisfaction, and the Modified Morisky Scale for medication adherence.
Read the detailed description
The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly will be used to assess the physical activity levels of geriatric patients. Life satisfaction will be measured using the Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and medication adherence will be evaluated with the Modified Morisky Scale. The data collection will involve forms, including a Sociodemographic Information Form, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Modified Morisky Scale, all of which will be digitized using Google Forms. The Google Forms link will then be shared via email by the researchers with individuals who have elderly family members. Before starting to complete the scales with older patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be informed about the study's purpose, the forms involved, and the time required for completion.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Physical Activity
The Physical Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE) will be used to assess the physical activity of elderly individuals. The overall PASE score ranges from 0 to 400 or more, with higher scores indicating better physical activity levels.
Measured: One Month
Life Satisfaction
Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (T-SWLS) is a one-dimensional Likert-type scale consisting of 5 questions. The total score of the scale is calculated by adding the scores given to the statements in the scale. The total Turkish version of the SWLS score varies between 5 and 25, and higher scores indicate a better level of life satisfaction.
Measured: One Month
Medication Adherence
The Modified Morisky Scale (MMS) will be used to examine the patient's compliance with treatment by evaluating the motivation and knowledge levels of individuals with chronic diseases regarding pharmacological treatment during long-term treatment. The total score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 6.
Measured: One Month
