Brief Summary

The main purpose of this research is to test the validity and reliability of the "Exercise Health Beliefs Attitude Scale" (EYSİTÖ), developed by Caz, Paktaş and Yazıcı (2023) for adult individuals, in geriatric individuals aged 65 and over.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Exercise-Related Health Beliefs Attitude Scale (ERHSTS):

  Developed by Caz, Paktaş, and Yazıcı (2023), this scale will be used to determine individuals' health beliefs regarding exercise. The scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions and a total of 20 items: "Health Promotion" (7 items), "Cognitive Health" (7 items), and "Continuity" (6 items). Rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree ... 7=Strongly Agree), an increase in the score indicates an increase in positive attitudes and beliefs towards exercise. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient for the original form of the scale was found to be 0.94.

Interventions

Reliability and validation OTHER

Data will be collected by researchers using a face-to-face interview technique with participants. To minimize potential difficulties in reading comprehension for geriatric individuals, the survey questions will be read aloud by the researcher, and the participant's answers will be marked on the form. Each interview is expected to last approximately 15-20 minutes. Before data collection, participants will be informed of the purpose of the research, and the "Informed Consent Form" will be read and signed.
