Abstract

As a result of many studies conducted since the 1970s when it started to become widespread in the scientific and clinical fields, it has been scientifically proven that mindfulness contributes significantly to the individual's well-being. For this reason, mindfulness therapy has had wide use in recent years as a complementary clinical process. One of the most important of these uses includes elderly work. Old age stands before developed and developing countries as one of the most important problems of the future. Mindfulness therapy offers many scientifically and clinically proven benefits in the solution of elderly problems.
In this study, the aim and practices of mindfulness therapy, which positively contribute to the bio-psycho-social well-being of the elder individuals are discussed. In the first part of the study, there is an introduction part where the scientific and conceptual relationship of the elderly and mindfulness therapy is established. After this part, the second part, which discusses the basic philosophy and goals of mindfulness therapy, is presented. In the next section, mindfulness practices that are carried out while working with the elderly are discussed. The study is completed with the conclusion part where the research is evaluated in general.

Abstract

Bilimsel ve klinik alanda yaygınlaşmaya başladığı 1970’li yıllardan itibaren yapılan birçok araştırma sonucunda bilinçli farkındalığın bireyin iyilik haline önemli ölçüde katkı sağladığı bilimsel olarak kanıtlanmıştır. Bu nedenle bilinçli farkındalık terapisi tamamlayıcı bir klinik süreç olarak son yıllarda geniş bir kullanım alanına sahip olmuştur. Bu kullanım alanlarından en önemlilerinden birisi de yaşlı çalışmalarını içermektedir. Yaşlılık geleceğin en önemli sorunlarından biri olarak gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerin önünde durmaktadır. Bilinçli farkındalık terapisi ise yaşlı sorunlarının çözümü noktasında bilimsel ve klinik olarak ispatlanmış birçok yarar ortaya koymaktadır.
Bu derleme çalışmasında bilimsel olarak bireyin biyo-psiko-sosyal iyilik haline pozitif katkı sunan bilinçli farkındalık terapisinin yaşlılık alanındaki katkıları ve uygulamaları tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmasının ilk kısmında yaşlılar ve bilinçli farkındalık terapisinin bilimsel ve kavramsal ilişkisinin kurulduğu giriş kısmı bulunmaktadır. Bu bölümden sonra bilinçli farkındalık terapisinin temel felsefesinin ve hedeflerinin tartışıldığı ikinci bölüm gelmektedir. Bundan sonraki bölümde yaşlılarla çalışırken gerçekleştirilen bilinçli farkındalık uygulamalarından bahsedilmektedir. Çalışma araştırmanın genel olarak değerlendirildiği sonuç kısmıyla tamamlanmaktadır.
