简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of specialized discharge education on the daily life activities and quality of life of geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards. The motivation behind this study stems from the vulnerability of elderly patients during the COVID-19 pandemic and the necessity of tailored education to support their daily life activities and enhance their quality of life after discharge. The primary objective of this article is to determine the specific type of specialized discharge education that geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards require to improve their ability to sustain daily life activities and enhance their quality of life.
The central idea of this study is that providing specialized discharge education to geriatric patients in COVID-19 wards can result in improvements in their daily life activities and quality of life. The main findings of the study demonstrate a significant enhancement in daily life activities and quality of life among patients who received specialized discharge education. These individuals exhibited increased independence in mobility, improved performance in daily life activities, and reported an overall improvement in their quality of life.
These findings underscore the significance of specialized discharge education for geriatric patients hospitalized in COVID-19 wards and highlight its positive impact on their health outcomes and quality of life.
详细描述
Purpose: This research aimed to determine the impact of specialized discharge training on the daily living activities and quality of life of geriatric patients admitted to the COVID-19 ward.
Materials and Methods
A quasi-experimental study was conducted on geriatric patients admitted to a training and research hospital's COVID-19 ward between April 1 and July 1, 2022. A control group of 40 individuals and a study group of 40 individuals, both meeting the inclusion criteria, were established. Research data were collected using the Descriptive Features Form, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and SF-12 Quality of Life Scale.

Katz Daily Life Activities Scale (GYA):
时间窗: 1 month
The Katz Daily Life Activities Scale (GYA) was developed by Katz and colleagues in 1963 to assess activities essential for daily life. The scale measures the scores of key elements related to daily life activities, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, continence, and feeding. The GYA index categorizes scores as dependent (0-6 points), partially dependent (7-12 points), and independent (13-18 points). The scale has been translated into Turkish and validated by Yardımcı E., with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.73. Response options in the Katz GYA scale include "independent," "partially dependent," and "dependent."
Quality of Life Scale (SF-12):
时间窗: 1 month
The SF-12 Quality of Life Scale is a widely used instrument that assesses the quality of life over the past four weeks, encompassing various age and disease groups. The Turkish version of the scale, including its reliability and validity study, was conducted by Soylu and Kütük (2022). The SF-12 consists of 12 questions selected from the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. It comprises eight sub-dimensions and 12 items, including physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health. The SF-12 yields two summary scores: the Physical Component Summary Score (PCSS) and the Mental Component Summary Score (MCSS). The scale demonstrates a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.72.
