Özet:

 Objective: The study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of frailty and the risk of falls in the elderly living in nursing homes and to draw attention to this issue. Method: The cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in two state-owned nursing homes in Adana between January 2, 2023, and January 15, 2023. The study was conducted by face-to-face interviews with a total of 220 elderly people who met the research criteria and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Itaki Fall Risk Index, and Edmonton Frailty Scale. Results: 63,6 of the participants were women, and the average age was 768 min60, max98. Female gender 58,3, normal BMI 54,9, lack of regular exercise 85,4, presence of chronic disease 55,6, use of assistive devices 85,6, history of falling A statistically significant relationship was found between 63,9 and hospitalization history 61,1 and fall risk level p0.05. Normal BMI 60, lack of regular exercise 70, presence of chronic disease 70, number of medications used 1-3 55, use of assistive devices 97,5, history of falling 100, a statistically significant relationship was found between the history of hospitalization 72,5 and the risk level of severe frailty p0,05. A statistically significant relationship was found between frailty level and fall risk p  0,00. Conclusion: Elderly people with moderate and severe frailty were found to be at high risk of falls.

 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı huzurevinde yaşayan yaşlıların kırılganlık düzeyi ile düşme riski arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek ve bu konuya dikkat çekmektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, 2 Ocak 2023 ile 15 Ocak 2023 tarihleri arasında Adana ilindeki devlete ait iki huzurevinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma araştırma kriterlerine uyan ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden toplam 220 yaşlı ile yüzyüze görüşme yöntemi ile yürütülmüştür. Veri toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İtaki Düşme Risk Endeksi ve Edmonton Kırılganlık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 63,6sı kadın olup, yaş ortalaması 768 min60, max98 idi. Kadın cinsiyet 58,3, normal BKI 54,9, düzenli egzersiz yapmama 85,4, kronik hastalık varlığı 55,6, yardımcı cihaz kullanımı 85,6, düşme öyküsü 63,9 ve hastaneye yatış öyküsü 61,1 ile düşme risk düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulundu p0,05. Normal BKI 60, düzenli egzersiz yapmama 70, kronik hastalık varlığı 70, kullanılan ilaç sayısının 1-3 olması 55, yardımcı cihaz kullanımı 97,5, düşme öyküsü 100 ve hastaneye yatış öyküsü 72,5 ile ciddi kırılganlık risk düzeyi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulundu p0,05. Kırılganlık düzeyi ile düşme riski arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu p0,01. Sonuç: Orta ve ileri derecede kırılganlık düzeyine sahip yaşlıların düşme riskinin yüksek olduğu belirlendi.
