Özet
Yaslilik, bireylerin fiziksel, zihinsel ve sosyal alanlarda önemli degisimler yasadigi bir dönemdir. Bu dönemde aktif olma, bireylerin yasam kalitesini korumalari ve topluma katkida bulunmalari açisindan büyük önem tasimaktadir. Ancak günümüzde modernizmin etkisiyle yaslilik genellikle geri çekilmenin, yetersizliklerin ve rahatsizliklarin oldugu bir dönem olarak algilanabilmektedir. Bu nedenle yasli bireyler, sosyal yasamdan ve is yasamindan geri çekilme baskisi ile karsi karsiya kalabilmekte, ayrica yasliliga karsi olumsuz bakis açisi gelistirebilmektedir. Bununla birlikte yapilan gençlik vurgusu ve yas ayrimciligi gibi nedenler yasli bireylerin ihtiyaçlarinin ve sorunlarinin geri planda kalmasina neden olabilmektedir. Oysa ki yasliligin da diger yasam dönemleri gibi gelisimin, aktif yasamin ve kisisel büyümenin devam ettigi bir gelisim dönemi olarak görülmesi gereklidir. Yaslilik kuramlarindan biri olan aktivite kuramina göre yaslilik, bir geri çekilme süreci degil, aksine bireyin sagligi ve imkânlari dogrultusunda kendini ifade etme, yasamini anlamlandirma ve yeni roller üstlenerek aktif bir yasam sürdürme sürecidir. Gelisimin ve aktif yasamin devam ettigi bu süreçte önemli gelisim alanlarindan biri de kariyerdir. Bu dönemde yaslilar, isle ilgili rollerin kaybi, serbest zamanin etkili bir sekilde degerlendirilmesi, emeklilige hazirlik, emeklilik sürecine uyum ve aktif yasami sürdürme gibi kariyer sorunlari ile karsi karsiya kalmaktadirlar. Bu açidan yaslilikta kariyer gelisimini desteklemek bireylerin hem ruh sagligina hem de saglikli bir sekilde yaslanmalarina katkida bulunacaktir. Türkiye’de kariyer psikolojik danismanligi literatürü incelendiginde, yaslilarin kariyer gelisiminin ihmal edildigi görülmektedir. Bu durum Türkiye’de yaslilarin kariyer gelisimi ve emeklilik sürecine uyumu konusunda çalismalara ihtiyaç oldugunu göstermektedir. Literatür derleme niteligindeki bu çalismada, yaslilik baglaminda kariyer gelisimi ve emeklilikte kariyer psikolojik danismanligi konularina ilgi çekmek amaçlanmistir.
Aging is a period during which individuals undergo significant changes in physical, mental, and social domains. Maintaining an active lifestyle during this time is crucial for preserving quality of life and contributing to society. However, in today’s world, influenced by modernism, aging is often perceived as a period of withdrawal, inadequacies, and discomforts. As a result, elderly individuals may face pressures to withdraw from social and work life and may develop negative attitudes towards aging. Additionally, factors such as the emphasis on youth and age discrimination can lead to the needs and challenges of elderly individuals being overlooked. Yet, aging should be seen as a stage of continued development, active living, and personal growth, much like other phases of life. According to the activity theory -one of the key theories of aging- aging is not a process of withdrawal but rather one of active engagement. During this time, individuals, depending on their health and abilities, can continue to express themselves, find meaning in life, and assume new roles. One of the critical areas of development in this ongoing process is career. In this period, the elderly encounter career-related issues such as the loss of work-related roles, the effective use of leisure time, preparation for retirement, adaptation to the retirement process, and the maintenance of an active lifestyle. Supporting career development in old age not only contributes to the mental health of individuals but also promotes healthy aging. A review of the literature on career counseling in Turkey reveals that the career development of the elderly has been largely neglected. This highlights the need for further studies on the career development and retirement adaptation of elderly individuals in Turkey. This literature review aims to draw attention to the significance of career development and career counseling in the context of aging and retirement.
