| Sumario: | In the study, which aims to identify the positive and negative factors affecting the overcoming of Covid-19 pandemic problems in old age and to evaluate them in the context of the ecosystem approach, phenomenological design was preferred from qualitative research designs. The study group, determined by the criterion sampling technique, consists of twenty-six elderly people residing in Pendik district. A semi-structured questionnaire was designed to understand the systems that facilitate and complicate the adaptation and coping of the elderly at the micro, mezzo and macro levels during the epidemic process. The MAXQDA 2022 program was used to analyze the data obtained using the in-depth interviews with elderly participants. In the research, main themes and sub-codes were created in relation to the codes discovered from the statements. As a result of the research, five main themes were reached. These are emotions felt, things done in the Covid-19 process, support in the Covid-19 process, difficulties encountered, and expectations in the Covid-19 process. In addition, in the context of the ecosystem approach, the study drew conclusions at the micro, mezzo and macro levels.
