Treatment and study plan

Online-supervised exercise group

Behavioral

Participants in the online-supervised exercise group were provided with an online-supervised exercise program by using the video conferencing method three times a week for 6 weeks on the Zoom application. The exercise program was carried out synchronously

Unsupervised-exercise training group

Behavioral

The unsupervised-exercise training group was informed about how to do the same exercises by another researcher, a nurse academician, on the online platform by using the lecturing method. Each training intervention took approximately 30 minutes.

Primary outcomes

  1. The Brief Resilience Scale

    Time frame: 5 minute

    The scale was developed by Smith et al. to measure individuals' resilience levels and was adapted to Turkish by Doğan. It is a one-dimensional 6-item measurement tool. High scores obtained from the scale indicate that the individual's psychological resilience is good. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale is .83.

  2. A Measure of Quality of Life in the Elderly

    Time frame: 5 minute

    This scale was developed by Hyde et al. in 2003 to measure the quality of life of the elderly. It was adapted to Turkish society in 2014 by Türkoğlu and Adıbelli. An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the quality of life. The scale consists of two sub-dimensions, namely "perceived autonomy and satisfaction" and "perceived disability". Cronbach's alpha value of the original scale is .91.
