Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of family peace among people over 65 who have chronic diseases and to look at the level of peace in relation to specific factors.

Method

This cross-sectional study was conducted between 1 July and 31 October 2023 in Internal Medicine policlinics and clinics of a hospital in Eskişehir/Türkiye. The data were collected using the ‘Introduction Form’, ‘Self-Efficacy Scale’ and ‘Family Peace Scale’. While the data were given in the form of number, percentage, mean and percantage, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis T tests and Spearman's correlation analysis were applied in statistical analysis.

Results

The total mean score of the family peace scale was 64.82 ± 9.041, the deep wear sub-dimension score was 34.11 ± 5.66, and the general contentment sub-dimension score was 30.71 ± 4.64. Age of the patients showed a significantly favourable association with the overall family peace score (r = 0.149; p = 0.019) (Table 4). Individual with dependents had statistically significantly lower total and sub-dimension scores of family peace (p = 0.004, p = 0.030, p = 0.007, respectively). It was found that family peace increased significantly in the positive direction as the level of self-efficacy of the patients increased (r = 0.389, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Family peace of mind is strongly associated with age, dependents and self-efficacy perceptions of individuals.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
