Objective: To examine the relationship between sensory processing and kinesiophobia in older adults with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Material and Methods: A total of 120 older adults aged 65-75, 60 with Type 2 DM and 60 without Type 2 DM, participated in the study. The older adults in both groups were evaluated with the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) and Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) and the results were compared. Additionally, the relationship between AASP and TKS was examined in older adults with Type 2 DM. Results: It was found that older adults with Type 2 DM had worse kinesiophobia and AASP subparameters vestibular, visual, tactile processing and activity level (p<0.05). No difference was found between the groups in taste/smell and auditory processing areas (p>0.05). In older adults with Type 2 DM, a moderate statistically significant relationship was found between vestibular processing (p=0.000, r=0.459) and activity level (p=0.000, r=0.519) with kinesiophobia. A weak statistically significant relationship was found between visual (p=0.032, r=0.277) and tactile processing (p=0.043, r=0.267) with kinesiophobia. No statistically significant relationship was found between taste/smell (p=0.213, r=0.163) and auditory (p=0.397, r=0.111) with kinesiophobia. Conclusion: It was observed that Type 2 DM causes deficiencies in vestibular, visual, tactile processing and activity levels in older adults and that these areas increase the level of kinesiophobia. Occupational therapists and other health professionals should evaluate all sensory areas for older adults with Type 2 DM and plan interventions by considering the relationship of these areas with physical and psychological parameters, especially kinesiophobia.

Amaç: Tip 2 diabetes mellitusu (DM) olan yaşlı erişkinlerde duyusal işlemleme ile kinezyofobi arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 65-75 yaş arası Tip 2 DM'li 60 ve Tip 2 DM olmayan 60 toplamda 120 yaşlı erişkin katıldı. Her iki gruptaki yaşlı erişkinler Adölesan/Yetişkin Duyu Profili [Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP)] ve Tampa Kinezyofobi Ölçeği [Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS)] ile değerlendirilerek sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca Tip 2 DM'li yaşlı erişkinlerde AASP ile TKS arasındaki ilişki incelendi. Bulgular: Tip 2 DM'li yaşlı erişkinlerin kinezyofobi ve AASP alt parametrelerinden vestibüler, görsel, taktil işlemleme ve aktivite seviyesinin daha kötü olduğu tespit edildi (p<0,05). Tat/koku ve işitme işlemleme alanlarında gruplar arasında fark bulunmadı (p>0,05). Tip 2 DM'li yaşlı erişkinlerde kinezyofobi ile vestibüler işlemleme (p=0,000, r=0,459) ve aktivite seviyesi (p=0,000, r=0,519) arasında istatistiksel olarak orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Kinezyofobi ile görsel (p=0,032, r=0,277) ve taktil işlemleme (p=0,043, r=0,267) arasında ise istatistiksel olarak zayıf anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Tat/koku (p=0,213, r=0,163) ve işitme işlemleme (p=0,397, r=0,111) ile kinezyofobi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: Tip 2 DM'nin yaşlı erişkinlerde vestibüler, görsel, taktil işlemleme ve aktivite seviyesinde yetersizlikler oluşturduğu ve bu alanların kinezyofobi düzeyini artırdığı görüldü. Ergoterapistler ve diğer sağlık profesyonelleri Tip 2 DM'li yaşlı erişkinler için tüm duyu alanlarına ait değerlendirmeleri yapmalı ve bu alanların başta kinezyofobi olmak üzere fiziksel ve ruhsal parametreler ile ilişkisini göz önünde bulundurarak müdahaleler planlamalıdır.
