“…When the literature on older adult women is reviewed, it is noticed the risk factors such as disordered eating behaviors (Thompson & Bardone-Cone, 2019), mental health problems (Yıldırım, Büyükkayacı-Duman & Keskin, 2019), loneliness (Singh & Kiran, 2013) and risk groups such as alcoholism (Epstein, Fischer-Elber & Al-Otaiba, 2007), refugee, asylum seeker and immigrant women (Başterzi, 2017) were discussed more in the studies. In fact, it was remarkable to investigate the protective factors such as wisdom (Nam & Cho, 2018), psychological needs satisfaction (Souesme, Martinent & Ferrand, 2016) as well as risk factors. In other words, a refreshing feature of this article is that it focussed on some of the positive experiences of being an older person, rather than just considering the need to adapt to negative changes and loss.…”

Türkiye'de yaş ilerledikçe evli olanların oranının düştüğü, yaşlılıkta eşini kaybeden ve/veya boşanan kadınların oranının arttığı görülmektedir. Yalnız yaşayan yaşlı kadınlara ilişkin literatür incelendiğinde, risk faktörlerinin ve risk gruplarının daha fazla araştırmaya konu olduğu söylenebilir. Bireylerin psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının karşılanma düzeyi artıkça olumlu duygularında artma olduğu söylenebilir. Bu nedenle, risk faktörlerinin yanında koruyucu faktörlerin de araştırılmasının önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'nin Ege kıyısındaki bir şehirde yalnız yaşayan 60 yaş üstü kadınların psikolojik ihtiyaçlarını ortaya koymaya yardımcı olmaktır. Bu çalışmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Nitel bir yöntem tercih edilmiş ve 12 katılımcı ile açık uçlu yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Bu 12 katılımcı, 60 yaş üstü, eşini kaybetmiş veya boşanmış, yalnız yaşayan, temel maddi ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan ve önemli bir sağlık sorunu olmayan, Kent Konseyinin eğitim ve kurslarına devam eden kadınlardır. Veriler, Covid-19 pandemisi nedeniyle telefon görüşmeleri yapılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tematik içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda tek başına yaşayan 60 yaş üstü kadınların psikolojik ihtiyaçları hayatta kalma, ait olma, güç, özgürlük ve eğlence olmak üzere kategoriler halinde düzenlenmiştir. Yalnız yaşayan yaşlı kadınların, Psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının mümkün olduğunca karşılanmasının, sağlıklı psikolojik yaşlanma fırsatını da artıracağı söylenebilir. Araştırma sonucunda ihmal edilen bir alan olan yaşlılık döneminin, başarılı bir şekilde sürdürülmesi ve sağlıklı psikolojik yaşlanmayı kolaylaştırmak için yaşlıların psikolojik ihtiyaçlarını karşılayacakları olanakların sunulması önerilmiştir.

“…The elderly population had the highest infection, hospitalisation and mortality rate (4,6,7). Furthermore, following the golden age, the elderly were often associated with increased psychological needs to achieve successful ageing (8). These needs were usually addressed by promoting their health and wellbeing through maintaining healthy nutritional intake, lifestyles, physical functioning and social functioning (9)(10)(11).…”

Following the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, restrictions imposed to curb the virus spread may affect the elderly population. Therefore, a scoping review was conducted to map the daily activities restrictions and the psychological impacts on the elderly. Articles from five databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were retrieved that used “disease outbreaks” or “infectious disease outbreaks” and “elderly” or “older adult” or “geriatric” or “old age”, which provide relevant insight on the restrictions and psychological impacts on the elderly, published throughout this COVID-19 pandemic until July 2021. Twenty-one eligible articles were included and summarised using thematic analysis. Restrictions throughout the pandemic may, directly and indirectly, impact the elderly’s psychological wellbeing and vary according to their age, gender, previous history of mental illness, comorbidities, and social support. Therefore, the strength of association between each variable should be identified to facilitate healthcare providers in managing the impact of COVID-19 on the elderly population.
