Brief Summary

This research will be conducted to examine the effect of the lung health promotion program based on the 5A self-management support model on some physiological parameters, Physical Activity Scale in the Elderly score, sleep quality, health status perception and vaccination status of adults aged 65 and over. The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled study with a parallel design. We estimate that the respiratory functions of the elderly will improve, their physical activity levels will increase, immunization against common infectious diseases will increase and people's health perceptions will improve. with the lung health promotion program based on the 5A self-management support model.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• 6-minute walk distance

  The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is an exercise test used to evaluate walking endurance and aerobic capacity. This test measures the distance the patient can walk quickly on a flat, hard surface in a 6-minute period. It is reported that the distance walked for six minutes varies between 400-700m in normal individuals. The distance the person is expected to walk during the test is calculated based on age, gender, height and body mass index. It is accepted that the distance recorded in the test provides information about the person's exercise capacity during daily living activities.

  8 weeks

• forced vital capacity (FVC)

  FVC-Forced vital capacity; the total volume of air that can be exhaled during a maximal forced expiration effort.

  8 weeks

• forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)

  FEV1-Forced expiratory volume in one second; the volume of air exhaled in the first second under force after a maximal inhalation.

  8 weeks

• FEV1/FVC ratio

  FEV1/ FVC ratio-The percentage of the FVC expired in one second.

  8 weeks

• Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE)

  The PASE was developed for the purpose of evaluating the components of physical activities involving leisure time, work-related activities, and the household. The PASE is a self-reported questionnaire that consists of 12 questions regarding the frequency and duration of leisure time activity, household activity, and work-related activity during the previous 7-day period. The questions are scored differently. Participation in leisure time and strengthening activities are scored as never, seldom (1 or 2 days per week), sometimes (3 or 4 days per week), and often (5-7 days per week). Duration of these activities is scored as less than 1 h, 1-2 h, 2-4 h, and more than 4 h. The overall PASE score ranges from 0 to 400 or more and high scores show better physical activity levels.

  8 weeks

• health status perception

  To determine their perception of health status, participants are asked to evaluate their general health status over the past 15 days using a visual analog scale. Accordingly, the participant marks an integer score from 0 to 10 according to the following five categories: 0 = terrible, 1- 3 = poor, 4-6 = fair, 7-9 = good, and 10 = excellent.

  8 weeks

• sleep quality

  The single-item sleep quality scale (SQS) is a practical measurement tool that can effectively measure sleep quality in the clinical setting. A visual analog scale is used to rate the individual's overall sleep quality over the past seven days. In this way, the participant marks an integer score from 0 to 10 according to the following five categories: 0 = terrible, 1- 3 = poor, 4-6 = fair, 7-9 = good, and 10 = excellent. When rating their sleep quality, participants are asked to consider the following key components of sleep quality: how many hours they slept, how easily they fell asleep, how often they woke up during the night (other than to go to the toilet), how often they woke up early in the morning, and how restful their sleep was.

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

breathing exercise, walking exercise and vaccination counseling

Behavioral: breathing exercise, walking exercise and vaccination counseling

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

breathing exercise, walking exercise and vaccination counseling BEHAVIORAL

Participants will perform diaphragmatic breathing exercises and pursed lip breathing exercises two days a week for eight weeks. Participants will be asked to walk for 20-30 minutes every day for eight weeks. Monitoring will be done weekly. Participants will be counseled about infectious diseases, modes of transmission and the importance of vaccination, and will be advised to receive influenza and pneumococcal vaccines recommended for this age group. The 5A model guide will be used regarding behavioral change towards physical activity and vaccination.
