Summary

This research will be conducted to examine the effect of the lung health promotion program based on the 5A self-management support model on some physiological parameters, Physical Activity Scale in the Elderly score, sleep quality, health status perception and vaccination status of adults aged 65 and over. The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled study with a parallel design. We estimate that the respiratory functions of the elderly will improve, their physical activity levels will increase, immunization against common infectious diseases will increase and people's health perceptions will improve. with the lung health promotion program based on the 5A self-management support model.

Detailed description

The population of the research consisted of 312 individuals aged 60 and over living in an elderly care and rehabilitation center. In the sample calculation of the research, taking into account the GPower 3.1.9.7 program and the results of similar studies in the literature, it was calculated that it would be sufficient to include a total of 42 individuals, 21 elderly individuals in each group, with a margin of error of 0.05 and a test power of 80%. Considering that there may be losses during the process in such studies, 5% of the sample number (2.1\~2 people) was added to the study. The study was planned to include 22 elderly individuals in the intervention group and 22 elderly individuals in the control group. A program to improve lung health will be applied to the elderly in the experimental group. Within the scope of the research, participants; They will do diaphragmatic breathing exercises and pursed lip breathing exercises 2 days a week for 8 weeks. Participants will be asked to walk for 20-30 minutes every day for eight weeks. Monitoring will be done weekly. Participants will be counseled about infectious diseases, modes of transmission and the importance of vaccination, and will be advised to receive influenza and pneumococcal vaccines recommended for this age group. The 5A model guide will be used regarding behavioral change towards physical activity and vaccination.
