Amaç: Başarılı yaşlanma; yaşlılıkta yüksek fiziksel, psikolojik ve sosyal işlevsellik düzeyine sahip olmaktır. Hızla yaşlanan toplumlarda başarılı yaşlanma durumunun ve ilişkili faktörlerin ortaya konması ilgili politikaları belirlemek için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, bir üniversite hastanesi kardiyoloji kliniğinde yatan 60 yaş ve üstü hastaların başarılı yaşlanma durumlarının değerlendirilmesi ve ilişkili faktörlerin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Temmuz – Ekim 2022 tarihleri arasında klinikte yatan, anket formlarını cevaplamaya uygun 60 yaş ve üzeri 158 kişinin katıldığı kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Anket formu; sosyodemografik özellikler, sağlık durumu ve yaşam biçimine yönelik sorulardan ve Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği’nden oluşmuş ve yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle doldurulmuştur. Verilerin analizi SPSS programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği’nden aldıkları toplam puan ortalaması 54,75 (±8,48)’tir. Başarılı Yaşlanma Ölçeği’nden alınan puan tekli analizlerde kendine ait gelir varlığı, kendine ait ev varlığı, çalışma durumu, genel sağlık durumu, kontrollere düzenli gitme, uyku problemi varlığı, yürüme hızı, telefon kullanımı becerisi ve hobi varlığıyla ilişkili bulunurken; çok değişkenli lineer regresyon analizinde anlamlı bulunanlar ise genel sağlık durumu, kontrollere düzenli gitme, uyku problemi varlığı, yürüme hızı ve hobi varlığıdır. Sonuç: Çalışmada ortaya konan başarılı yaşlanma durumu ve ilişkili faktörlere dayanarak toplumda eğitim, istihdam ve gelir seviyesi yükseltilmelidir. Ayrıca yaşlı sağlığını geliştirecek müdahale programları oluşturulmalı ve yaşlı bireylerin fiziksel aktiviteleri, teknoloji kullanımları ve hobileri artırılmalıdır.
