This randomized controlled experimental study will be conducted to investigate the effect of health seeking behavior training based on motivational interviewing techniques on health seeking behaviors, illness self-management and anxiety in migrant elderly women with chronic illness.

Hypotheses of the Study H11: Health-seeking behaviors training based on motivational interviewing techniques with migrant elderly women with chronic diseases will improve individuals' correct health-seeking behaviors.

H12: Health seeking behaviors training based on motivational interviewing techniques with migrant elderly women with chronic diseases will increase individuals' disease self-management.

H13: Health-seeking behaviors training based on motivational interviewing techniques with migrant elderly women with chronic diseases will reduce the anxiety level of individuals.

In the study, there will be an intervention group in which health-seeking behavior training based on motivational interviewing techniques will be applied and a control group in which no intervention will be applied.

The "Migrant Elderly Women with Chronic Diseases" in the intervention group, who will receive Health Seeking Behavior Training based on Motivational Interviewing Techniques, will be divided into four groups (the researcher conducting the intervention will interview the individuals in the 4 groups individually for 4 days).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Health Seeking Behavior Scale

It was developed by Kıraç and Öztürk in 2019 to assess individuals' health seeking behavior. The scale consists of 12 questions and three sub-dimensions: online health seeking behavior, professional health seeking behavior and traditional health seeking behavior. The score to be obtained from the scale varies between 12-60 and the scores obtained are divided by the number of scale items and an average between 1-5 points is obtained. The increase in the scores obtained from the total scale and its sub-dimensions indicates that the health seeking behavior of the individual increases.
