Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the psycho-social problems experienced by geriatric individuals during the curfew, in Samsun, Türkiye. The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in Samsun, Türkiye. The population of the research consisted of individuals aged 65 and over who were served on the "Psycho-social Support Line" between June 1 and July 31, 2020 (N=2700). The responses of 452 participants were included in the study. A total of a 35-item survey, created by scanning the literature, were used to collect data to evaluate socio-demographic data, Life Routine, Psycho-social Evaluation, and Psycho-social Support Needs. In the study, a questionnaire was applied to the volunteer participants selected by the simple random method of telephone interview technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney-U test, Pearson Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact Test. P<0.05 was accepted as significance level. In the results, it was determined that the elderly people spent most of their time praying (24.1%), taking care of the garden (22.8%), and watching television (14.6%) after the curfew. While the rate of the elderly who participated in the study during the restrictions who had problems in meeting their needs was 1.8%, the rate of those who applied to any social support line was 6.6%. The proportion of those who requested re-interview with psycho-social support services was significantly higher in women (P=0.049), those with chronic diseases (P=0.023), those who were concerned about the transmission of the COVID-19 virus (P=0.027), and those who slept irregularly (P=0.013). It was found that the number of people living with the elderly who requested to meet again with psycho-social support services was higher (P=0.014). As a result of the study, it was determined that a small part of the elderly needed social and financial support due to curfews. The fact that women and those with chronic diseases need more psycho-social support in this period shows that it is important for public health to protect the psycho-social health of disadvantaged groups in a crisis period such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
