简要总结
Quality of life is defined as functional abilities that include the ability to fulfill an individual social role, the degree and quality of social interaction, mental health, physical competence, somatic senses such as pain, and satisfaction with life. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined quality of life in 1947 as a decrease not only in disease, disorder or disability, but also in physical, mental and social well-being. Old age is one of the situations in which the quality of life decreases. It is reported that the poor social and financial situation of individuals, low educational level, gender, lack of physical movement, decreased daily life activity level, decreased mobility ability, fall anxiety, sleep problems and other conditions that cause disability are determinants of the quality of life. According to the results of Bloom et al.'s study, elderly people wake up at night due to health problems.
According to the literature, the sleep and life of pet therapy applied to elderly individuals living in a nursing home there have not been any studies examining the effect on quality. For this reason, it was aimed to conduct this study in order to determine the effect of pet therapy applied to elderly individuals living in a nursing home on sleep and quality of life.
The study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled manner in order to determine the effect of pet therapy applied for one hour twice a week for 6 weeks to elderly people living in a nursing home in Tokat province on sleep pattern and quality of life. In the study, gender, age group and the presence of chronic diseases were taken as equivalence criteria. Since conducting the study single-blind will increase the reliability of the study, the application of the scales was applied by another researcher/surveyor other than the main researcher.
详细描述
The study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled manner in order to determine the effect of pet therapy applied for one hour twice a week for 6 weeks to elderly people living in a nursing home in Tokat province on sleep pattern and quality of life.
The universe of the research consists of 74 elderly elderly individuals who are located in a nursing home in Tokat province and meet the criteria for inclusion.
As a result of the calculations; the minimum sample volume that will provide the test power (1-β) = 0.95 was calculated as a total of 46 (23 interventions + 23 controls) people, and the net power of this study was determined as 0.952.
In the research, the data will be collected through the 'Elderly Person Introduction Form" CASP-19 Quality of Life Scale and PUKI sleep quality scale and Mini Mental Test (MMT). Since conducting the study double-blind will increase the reliability of the study, the application of the scales was applied by another researcher/surveyor other than the main researcher.

结局指标
主要结局
PUKI
时间窗: First week, the end of six week and end of ten week.
PUKI was developed by Buysse et al. in 1989 and has been shown to have sufficient internal consistency (Cronbach alpha= 0.80), test-retest reliability and validity (Buysse Reynolds Monk Berman and Kupfer 1989). The validity and reliability study of PUKI in our country was conducted by Ağargün et al. In this study, the Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.79 (Cronbach alpha= 0.79). The total score has a value between 0-21.Dec. High values indicate that the quality of sleep is poor, the level of sleep disorders is high. A total score above 5 indicates that sleep quality is clinically poor.
次要结局
- CASP-19 QUALITY OF LIFE(First week, the end of six week and end of ten week.)
