Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in Geriatric Anxiety Scale | The scale developed by Pachana et al. (2007) was adapted to Turkish by Pamir Akın (2010). The Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAS) aims to measure anxiety symptoms in the elderly in a dimensional way. The basic psychometric feature of the scale is that it can differentiate both the anxious/non-anxious group and the group with/without generalized anxiety disorder. The cut-off point of the scale for generalized anxiety disorder was determined as 10/11. Accordingly, the scale; anxiety symptoms and generalized anxiety disorder > 10; only anxiety symptoms < 10. There is no reverse coded item in the scale, which consists of 20 items and is scored over two dimensions: I agree and I do not agree. Accordingly, 1 point is given for the agree option and 0 points for the disagree option. Therefore, the scores obtained from the scale can vary between 0 and 20. | day 0 and day 30 |
