Primary | Elderly Introduction Form | The Elderly Introduction Form is a form prepared by the researcher by scanning the literature and contains information about the sociodemographic characteristics of individuals (age, gender, BMI, chronic disease, etc.) (Her and Cho, 2021; Aydin Yildirim and Kitis, 2020). | Four Weeks | |
Primary | Epworth Sleepiness Scale | It is a scale used to indicate daytime sleepiness and sleepiness tendency during the day. It consists of 8 questions in total. Each question is filled in by the individual himself, giving 0-3 points. In this survey, the individual's likelihood of falling asleep in certain situations on a normal day when he or she is not overly tired is questioned. The scoring method is the same for all questions; if there is no probability of falling asleep, 0 is given, if there is a low probability of falling asleep, 1, if there is a medium probability, 2 and if there is a high probability, 3 points are given. If the total score is between 0-10, it indicates normal condition for healthy individuals, between 11-14, it indicates mild sleepiness, between 15-17, it indicates moderate sleepiness, and if it is 18 and above, it indicates the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness. | Four Weeks | |
Primary | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-PSQI | PSQI , is a safe and consistent questionnaire that evaluates the amount of sleep, sleep quality, presence and severity of sleep disorder in individuals in the last month, and was adapted into Turkish by Agargün by. PSQI consists of 12 questions in total. The evaluation score of an item is between 0-3. In this way, the total score obtained from all 7 components gives the total PSQI score. The total score obtained varies between 0-21. The higher the score, the worse the sleep quality. A score greater than five indicates poor sleep quality | Four Weeks | |
Primary | Blessed Orientation Memory Concentration Test (BOBKT) | The test was developed by Blessed, Tomlinson and Roth in 1968 and consists of 26 items. The first and second questions are related to time orientation and ask for the current month and year. It is then made to memorize a memory item containing information (a fictitious first name, a surname, a fictitious street name, an imaginary number, and a fictitious city name). The fourth and fifth questions are questions designed to measure attention. In the fourth question, the patient is asked to count back from twenty, one by one. In the fifth question, it is expected that the person will count the months backwards. Then, the last question is the memory measurement question, in which the individual is asked about the memorized memory item. An increase in the score indicates a decrease in cognitive functions. This test, which has been standardized into Turkish, can be applied to individuals at all educational levels since it is not related to the year of education (Akça-Kalem et al., 2002). | Four Weeks | |
Primary | Wearable Smart Device Worn on the Wrist | Wearable technologies, which have become very popular especially in the field of healthcare, monitor the health status of patients remotely and send the data to the physician without the need for outpatient clinic visits. In this way, unnecessary procedures are prevented, costs are reduced and the quality of health services is increased.These wearable smart devices are devices that allow continuous measurement every second.
