dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted in cross-sectional type to determine the medication compliance, pain level and factors affecting the pain level of elderly individuals with chronic diseases. 154 elderly individuals were included in the study. Data were collected with the Patient Information Form, Geriatric Pain Scale and Medication Compliance Reporting Scale. In the analysis of data; descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values, Independent samples t test, One-Way ANOVA and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Of the participants whose average age was 71.82±5.78, 56.5% were male, 43.5% were primary school graduates, and most of them were hypertension (68.8%) and diabetes (40.3%) patients. The total score of the Medication Compliance Reporting Scale of elderly individuals is 19.73±5.38 and the Geriatric Pain Scale score is 53.33±27.68. Among the variables included in the model; gender, educational status, number of illnesses and painkiller use were found to affect the level of geriatric pain (p<0.05) and was determined to explain 47% of the variance (R2=0.474, F=10.579, p<0.001). As a result, it was determined that elderly individuals' medication compliance was high and pain intensity was moderate. It was determined that women, those with low education, those with more than one chronic disease, and those who used painkillers every day/every few days had higher pain levels, and these variables affected the pain level of elderly individuals. © 2024, Inonu University.
