Objective: Postpartum period is a significant period that covers approximately 6 weeks after childbirth, progresses with various symptoms, and affects the life of the woman. The study was conducted in order to test the validity and reliability of the Postpartum Symptom Inventory (PSI-20). Methods: The study was conducted on 310 participants with a descriptive, cross-sectional, and methodological design. The study data were collected through Identifying Information Form, Postpartum Symptom Inventory, and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale as a parallel form. In the analysis of the data, factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and item-total score correlations were used. Results: The scale consisted of 20 items under 6 subscales with a variance of 71%. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the Turkish version of the scale was 0.86. According to split-half test reliability, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the first and second halves were found to be 0.71 and 0.73, respectively, Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.94, and the correlation coefficient between the halves was determined as 0.88. According to confirmatory factor analysis, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation Index (RMSEA) 0.072, Goodness of Fit index (GFI) value was 0.89, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) value was 0.94, Relative Fit Index (RFI) was 0.89, Incremental Fit Index (IFI) was 0.94, and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) value was found as 0.93. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that the Turkish version of the Postpartum Symptom Inventory (PSI-20) was a valid and reliable tool in order to measure postpartum symptoms in Turkish women.

“…There is also a gap in the literature with regard to understanding what ageing in place means for older people experiencing homelessness or who are housing insecure (Walsh and Kaushik, 2021;Canham et al, 2022). Finally, the meaning of home among people living with degenerative disorders requires further study (Andersson et al, 2020).…”

Given the significant impact the pandemic has had on the lives of older adults, research is needed to understand how conceptions of ageing in place and attitudes about living independently may have shifted during a time marked by significant environmental change. There is a gap in knowledge about how older adults characterise positive support for ageing in place in response to rapid changes in physical and social environments, including home confinement, reduced social interaction and greater barriers to resources. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a photovoice study with community-dwelling older adults (N = 17) to understand how their experiences of adapting to pandemic conditions influenced their attitudes and behaviours towards ageing in place. We organised data into five themes: (1) the importance of proximity to family and loved ones; (2) the ability to balance safety and social connectivity; (3) an increased appreciation for the outdoors; (4) new platforms for learning; and (5) the role of inner belief systems. Adapting attitudes, expectations and behaviours through physical, social and personal domains highlights the role of change within an ecological framework of ageing. Findings contribute to the ongoing discourse about ageing in place within an ecological framework by identifying changes that older adults make at individual, interpersonal and system levels. This paper adds to the literature by identifying characteristics of ageing in place that community-dwelling older adults prioritise in the pandemic era. The paper also contributes to a growing body of research that elicits participation and offers the co-creation of knowledge with older adults. Lessons learned from the pandemic will continue to shape and inform future policies on ageing in place.

“…The Meaning of Home Questionnaire (MOH) [32,33] includes 28 items to assess the subjective perceptions of older people about the meaning of their own home. It is divided into five factors: physical (items 1,3,6,7,12,13,25), behavioral (items 8,10,15,20,21,26), cognitive (items 2,9,16,17,22), emotional (items 4,14,18,23,27) and social (items 5,11,19,24,28).…”

Background: Housing plays an important role in the aging process and health. The house and its nearby environment host most of the daily activities of older adults. Residential satisfaction (RS) has been relegated to physical issues such as accessibility. However, RS is also constituted by older adults’ perceptions about housing. This study analyzes the perceived home that develops RS in older adults. Methods: A random sample of 714 participants aged 50 to 84 (mean = 65; SD = 0.98) were used. Participants lived in ordinary housing in southern Spain. Scales measure perceptions of RS, meaning, functionality and belief of control over the home. Results: Analyses were performed using structural equation models to evaluate the dependence relationships between the different perceptions evaluated. We observe a direct influence of internal control on usability (β = 0.84) and perceived meanings (β = 0.49). However, external control shows a negative influence on the meaning of home (β = −0.14). Perceived usability (β = 0.68) and meaning (β = 0.32) positively influence RS. Conclusion: Perceptions of meaning, functionality and RS itself depend on internal housing-related control beliefs. Active older adults with higher internal control perceived their home fit better to the need of everyday life and improve RS.
