Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a comprehensive health promotion educational intervention applied to family caregivers over the age of 60 on their fragility levels. The main question(s) it aims to answer are:

* Does the educational intervention have a significant impact on caregivers' vulnerability?
* Does the educational intervention have a significant impact on caregivers' quality of life? The population of the study consists of family members who care for individuals receiving home health services in public hospitals in Antalya city center. G power test was used to determine the number of samples and the result of the analysis on the subject; Alpha value of 0.01 for independent sample t test at 95% confidence level; Taking an effect size of 1.35 and theoretical power of 99%, the minimum total sample size was determined as 58 people, 29 for each group. It was thought that it would be appropriate to take 30% more than the calculated minimum sample number due to possible losses that may occur during the research process, and as a result, it was decided to recruit 40 people for each group. In the study, the Participant Information Form developed by the researcher, the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scale, the frailty (FRAIL) scale and the World Health Organization quality of life scale for elderly individuals will be applied to family caregivers.
