This study has been conducted to determine the relationship between care dependency and nursing care evaluations of elderly hospitalized individuals and to compare them with some variables. The universe of the research, which has been conducted as a descriptive and analytical study, is constituted of elderly hospitalized patients in two public hospitals (one state and one university). The sample has been calculated to be 379 with 5% margin of error at 95% confidence interval, and the study has been done with 380 patients who participated. For the data collection; "Information Form", "Care Dependency Scale" and "Nursing Care Assessment Inventory" have been used. The data of the study have been evaluated by; number, frequency, percentage, mean ± standard deviation, rank mean / median, Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient, Kolmogorov Smirnov, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and post-hoc Dunnet's tests. The significance level for the results has been taken as p <0.05. Of the group; 55.3% of the group were female, 80.0% of them were married, 49.2% were primary school graduates and 62.9% had internal diseases. In the study, the mean score of the care addiction scale has been found to be 34.01 ± 10.43 and the Nursing Care Assessment Inventory- (SAD) mean score has been found to be 226.97 ± 25.94. Nursing care assessments’ of the elderly patients hospitalized in internal clinics are significantly higher when compared with the patients hospitalized in surgical clinics (U=12947,50; p=0.002) (p<0.05). In the study, the hospitalized elderly patients have been found to be highly dependent and the care they received in the hospital has been found to be good/sufficient.
