Özet:

 This study was conducted descriptively and cross-sectional to determine the successful aging and social support perceptions of chronically ill elderly people and the relationship between these two factors. The study sample consists of 258 elderly individuals with a diagnosis of chronic disease. Introductory Information Form, Successful Aging Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used to collect data. It was found that the perceptions of successful aging of elderly individuals with chronic diseases were high and their perceptions of social support were moderate. A positive significant p0.05 relationship was found between successful aging and social support scores. It was found that the perceptions of successful aging and social support were significantly p0.05 and higher in the elderly who lived with their spouses, evaluated their health as moderate, met their relatives frequently, and were eager for social activities. The results show that older peoples perceptions of successful aging are affected by social support. For this reason, healthcare professionals should support and develop social support factors for the elderly with chronic diseases to perceive themselves as aging successfully.

 Bu çalışma, kronik hastalıklı yaşlıların başarılı yaşlanma ve sosyal destek algıları ve bu iki faktör arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak yapıldı. Çalışma örneklemini, kronik hastalık tanısı olan 258 yaşlı birey oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Başarılı yaşlanma Ölçeği ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği kullanıldı. Kronik hastalığı olan yaşlı bireylerin başarılı yaşlanma algılarının yüksek ve sosyal destek algılarının ise orta düzeyde olduğu bulundu. Başarılı yaşlanma ve sosyal destek puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı p0.05 ilişki olduğu saptandı. Eşiyle birlikte yaşayan, sağlığını orta olarak değerlendiren, akrabalarıyla sık sık görüşen ve sosyal aktivite için istekli olan yaşlıların başarılı yaşlanma ve sosyal destek algılarının anlamlı p0.05 ve daha yüksek olduğu bulundu. Sonuçlar, yaşlıların başarılı yaşlanmaya ilişkin algılarının sosyal destekten etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, sağlık bakım profesyonelleri kronik hastalığı olan yaşlıların kendilerini başarılı yaşlanmış olarak algılamalarında sosyal destek faktörlerini desteklemeli ve geliştirilmelidir.
