Özet:

 Aim:This study was conducted to determine the level of trust in the health system and health-seeking behaviors of individuals aged 65 and over and to examine the relationship between these two variables. Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 1 May and 15 June 2023 with 307 elderly individuals aged 65 and over who accepted the study. Data was collected by conducting a face-to-face survey. In addition to socio-demographic questions, Distrust in Health Systems Scale and Health Seeking Behavior Scale were used to collect data. Results: The mean score of distrust in health systems is 2.520.74. The total score average of health seeking behavior is 2.870.52. When we look at the sub-dimensions of health-seeking behavior, they are online health-seeking 1.780.82. professional health-seeking 4.580.61 and traditional health-seeking 3.331.22. Conclusion: Elderly individuals levels of distrust in the health system are close to medium level. Elderly individuals exhibit professional health seeking behavior the most, traditional health seeking second, and online health seeking behavior the least. As the level of distrust in the health system increases; Professional health-seeking behavior is decreasing, while online and traditional health-seeking behavior is increasing.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, 65 yaş ve üzeri bireylerin sağlık sistemine duydukları güven düzeyini ve sağlık arama davranışlarını belirleyerek bu iki değişken arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek için yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türdeki bu çalışma 1 Mayıs-15 Haziran 2023 tarihleri arasında çalışmayı kabul eden 65 yaş ve üzeri 307 yaşlı birey ile yapılmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze anket yapılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyo-demografik sorulara ek olarak Sağlık Sistemlerine Güvensizlik Ölçeği ve Sağlık Arama Davranışı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Sağlık sistemlerine güvensizlik puan ortalaması 2.520.74tür. Sağlık arama davranışı toplam puan ortalaması 2.870.52dir. Sağlık arama davranışı alt boyutlarına bakıldığında ise, online sağlık arama 1.780.82, profesyonel sağlık arama 4.580.61 ve geleneksel sağlık arama 3.331.22dir. Sonuç: Yaşlı bireylerin sağlık sistemine güvensizlik seviyeleri orta düzeye yakındır. Yaşlı bireyler, en çok profesyonel sağlık arama, ikinci olarak geleneksel sağlık arama ve en az da online sağlık arama davranışı sergilemektedirler. Sağlık sistemine güvensizlik düzeyi yükseldikçe; profesyonel sağlık arama davranışı azalmakta, online ve geleneksel sağlık arama davranışları artmaktadır.
