Summary

This study will examine the relationships between physical activity, life satisfaction, and medication adherence in elderly individuals with chronic diseases. The research will involve participants aged 65 and above, using the The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly scale to assess physical activity, the Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale for life satisfaction, and the Modified Morisky Scale for medication adherence.

Detailed description

The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly will be used to assess the physical activity levels of geriatric patients. Life satisfaction will be measured using the Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and medication adherence will be evaluated with the Modified Morisky Scale. The data collection will involve forms, including a Sociodemographic Information Form, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, Turkish version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Modified Morisky Scale, all of which will be digitized using Google Forms. The Google Forms link will then be shared via email by the researchers with individuals who have elderly family members. Before starting to complete the scales with older patients who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be informed about the study's purpose, the forms involved, and the time required for completion.
