Summary

Quality of life is defined as functional abilities that include the ability to fulfill an individual social role, the degree and quality of social interaction, mental health, physical competence, somatic senses such as pain, and satisfaction with life. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined quality of life in 1947 as a decrease not only in disease, disorder or disability, but also in physical, mental and social well-being. Old age is one of the situations in which the quality of life decreases. It is reported that the poor social and financial situation of individuals, low educational level, gender, lack of physical movement, decreased daily life activity level, decreased mobility ability, fall anxiety, sleep problems and other conditions that cause disability are determinants of the quality of life. According to the results of Bloom et al.'s study, elderly people wake up at night due to health problems.

According to the literature, the sleep and life of pet therapy applied to elderly individuals living in a nursing home there have not been any studies examining the effect on quality. For this reason, it was aimed to conduct this study in order to determine the effect of pet therapy applied to elderly individuals living in a nursing home on sleep and quality of life.

The study was planned to be conducted in a randomized controlled manner in order to determine the effect of pet therapy applied for one hour twice a week for 6 weeks to elderly people living in a nursing home in Tokat province on sleep pattern and quality of life. In the study, gender, age group and the presence of chronic diseases were taken as equivalence criteria. Since conducting the study single-blind will increase the reliability of the study, the application of the scales was applied by another researcher/surveyor other than the main researcher.
