ABSTRACT
Objective: This study was conducted to put forth counseling and psychological counseling needs and life satisfaction of nursing home residents, to assess the relationships between them and to identify the factors effective on changes in these parameters. Material and Methods: A descriptive and correlational study was planned with 107 elderly residents of a nursing home in Ordu province. A survey study including "Elderly people Counseling Needs Survey (OPCNS)", "The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)" and the other variables considered to be effective on these scales was conducted. Results: The average SWLS score of >74 years old nursing home residents was lower than that of 60-74 years old nursing home residents. Self-income did not influence OPCNS scores, but it increased SWLS averages. The OPCNS scores of elderly people WHO has a university degree, frequently meeting with their relatives and praying were lower than the others, but the SWLS scores of them were higher. SWLS scores were also higher in praying ones, satisfied ones with their current status, frequently participating ones in nursing home activities and in ones with a leisure activity. The ones not perceiving themselves as old had low OPCNS scores but high SWLS scores. Conclusion: The results revealed that a negative correlation was between life satisfaction and psychological counseling need of elderly people residing in nursing homes. Spirituality, leisure activity and social activity were determined as significant factors for increasing the level of life satisfaction. These factors were also found as significant factors decreasing the counseling needs of elderly people.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, huzurevinde kalan yaşlıların psikolojik danışma ihtiyaçları ile yaşam doyumlarını ortaya koymak, aralarındaki ilişkiyi ortaya çıkarmak ve değişimlerinde etkili olabilecek faktörleri belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ordu ilinde bulunan huzurevinde kalan toplam 107 yaşlı ile tanımlayıcı ve ilişkileri belirleyici tipte bir araştırma planlanmıştır. "Elderly people Counseling Needs Survey (OPCNS)", "The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)" ve bu ölçekler üzerine etkisi olduğu düşünülen değişkenlerin yer aldığı anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Yaşı >74 yıl üzerinde olanların SWLS ortalaması yaşı 60-74 yıl arası olanlardan düşük bulunmuştur. Yaşlının kendine ait bir gelirinin olması OPCNS'u etkilememiş, ancak SWLS ortalamasını yükseltmiştir. Üniversite mezunu, ziyaretçileri ile sık görüşen ve ibadet eden yaşlılarda OPCNS daha düşük, SWLS ise daha yüksek bulunmuştur. İbadet eden, şu anki durumundan memnun olan, bir uğraşısı olan ve huzurevindeki etkinliklere sık sık katılan yaşlılarda SWLS yüksek bulunmuştur. Kendisini yaşlı bulmayanlarda OPCNS düşük bulunurken SWLS yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Yaşam doyumu ile psikolojik danışmanlık ihtiyacı arasında negatif bir korelasyon olduğu ortaya çıkmış ve yaşlıların bir uğraşısının olması, sosyal olarak aktif olması ve manevi yönünün güçlü olması gibi faktörlerin yaşam doyumunu arttırarak rehberlik ihtiyacını azalttığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Yaşlı; yaşam doyumu; psikolojik danışmanlık ihtiyacı; huzurevi, hemşirelik
