Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Care supports: The intervention of the study involves providing nursing care to the elderly individual and caregivers using care plans designed by the researcher, utilizing a validated scale. The adapted scale provides a comprehensive geriatric assessment. Emerging issues will be evaluated using NANDA diagnoses and NIC interventions/NOC outcomes. Individuals in the intervention group will be followed up for 6 months with these care plans. No interventions other than the services provided under ESH will be performed on individuals in the control group. The adapted questionnaire and specified scales will be administered simultaneously at the initial interview (0 months) and at 6 months for individuals in this group.
Study summary
This study was designed with a methodological approach. The first phase of the study consists of establishing the validity and reliability of the "International Resident Assessment Instrument-Home Care (InterRAI-HC)" application in Turkish. The second phase of the study involves comparing the standard forms used in Home Health Services units with the adapted InterRAI scale. The study population will consist of caregivers of individuals aged 65 and over who apply to the home health services unit of a healthcare institution in Kars province. The interRAI-HC questionnaire, SF-12 scale, and nursing care plans will be used to collect data. The aim of the study is to develop a comprehensive geriatric assessment tool for use in home health services.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- SF-12 — 6 months
The SF-36 Scale consists of 12 selected questions from the SF-36 Questionnaire. In 1992, the Rand Corporation developed and released the SF-36 Health Survey. Koçyiğit and colleagues established its validity and reliability in Turkish. The SF-12 consists of eight subscales. Scores ranging from 0 to 100 can be obtained from the scale. Higher scores indicate a higher quality of life.
