Skin dryness in the Elderly Staying in a Nursing Homes and Affecting Factors
Öz: Objective: This study is a descriptive study conducted to examine skin dryness, pH level, skin turgor and the affecting factors in the elderly staying in nursing homes.
Method: The study population was composed of 53 elderly who stayed in a care and rehabilitation center. 50 elderly who met the participant selection criteria and who gave their consent to participate were included. Elderly Information Form and devices that measure skin moisture and pH were used as the data collection tools. Descriptive statistics, Man-Whitney U test and Spearman correlation test were used.
Results: The results of the study revealed that the rate of arm dryness in the female elderly was higher compared to the male elderly and that skin turgor duration was longer in the elderly with cardiovascular diseases. When the relationship between water-fluid consumption of elderly and skin turgor duration was examined, it was seen that the duration of skin turgor extends as water-fluid consumption decreases.
Conclusion: Dry skin was observed in all the elderly staying in the nursing homes; the duration of skin turgor extended; and skin pH was at normal levels. It was further revealed that daily water-fluid intake of the elderly affected the duration of skin turgor.
Anahtar Kelime: Bakım Evinde Kalan Yaşlılarda Cilt Kuruluğu ve Etkileyen Faktörler
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışma, bakım merkezinde kalan yaşlılarda cilt kuruluğu, pH seviyesi, cilt turgoru ve bunu etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapıldı.
Yöntem: Çalışma evrenini bakım merkezinde kalan 53 yaşlı oluşturmuştur. Çalışmaya, dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan ve katılmaya onay veren 50 yaşlı çalışmaya alındı. Veriler Yaşlı Bilgi Formu ve cilt nemi ve pH'ı ölçen cihazlar aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann-Whitney U testi ve spearman korelasyon analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Araştırma sonuçları yaşlı kadınlarda kol kuruluğu oranının yaşlı erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğunu ve kardiyovasküler hastalığı olan yaşlılarda cilt turgor süresinin daha uzun olduğunu ortaya koydu. Yaşlıların su-sıvı tüketimi ile cilt turgor süresi arasındaki ilişkisi incelendiğinde, su-sıvı tüketimi azaldıkça cilt turgor süresinin uzadığı görüldü.
Sonuç: Bakım merkezinde kalan tüm yaşlılarda kuru cilt görüldü; cilt turgorunun süresi uzundu; ve cilt pH'ı normal seviyelerdeydi. Ayrıca yaşlıların günlük su-sıvı alımının cilt turgoru süresini etkilediği ortaya çıktı.
