20.500.12556/RUL-183755 Povezava socialnih interakcij s kakovostjo življenja starih ljudi v instituciji diplomsko delo The Connection Between Social Interactions and the Quality of Life of Elderly in an Institution V diplomskem delu obravnavam kakovost življenja starih ljudi v institucionalnem varstvu, s posebnim poudarkom na pomenu socialnih stikov in socialne podpore. Kakovost življenja starih ljudi je večdimenzionalen koncept, ki vključuje fizično zdravje, psihološko blaginjo, stopnjo samostojnosti ter socialne odnose. Posebej pomemben dejavnik kakovosti življenja starih ljudi v institucionalnem varstvu so socialne interakcije, saj lahko vplivajo na občutek pripadnosti, zmanjšujejo občutke osamljenosti ter prispevajo k splošnemu zadovoljstvu z življenjem. V domovih za stare ljudi imajo socialni stiki z vrstniki, zaposlenimi ter družinskimi člani ključno vlogo pri ohranjanju psihosocialnega blagostanja stanovalcev. Pomembno vlogo ima tudi možnost odločanja o lastnem življenju ter vključenost v socialno okolje, v katerem posameznik živi. Selitev v dom za stare ljudi za posameznika predstavlja pomembno življenjsko spremembo, ki poleg večje varnosti in dostopa do pomoči prinaša tudi prilagajanje na novo okolje, nove ljudi in drugačen način življenja. Ta prehod lahko vpliva na posameznikovo doživljanje lastne avtonomije, socialne vključenosti in splošnega počutja. Pri tem so ključni socialni stiki, saj vplivajo na občutek pripadnosti, sprejetosti in splošno zadovoljstvo z življenjem, hkrati pa posamezniku pomagajo tudi pri lažjem sprejemanju sprememb v načinu življenja, ki jih prinaša selitev v institucionalno okolje, ter pri prilagajanju na novo življenjsko situacijo. Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati, kako stanovalci doma za stare ljudi doživljajo kakovost svojega življenja ter kakšen pomen imajo pri tem socialni stiki z drugimi stanovalci, zaposlenimi in svojci. Posebno pozornost sem namenila tudi vlogi socialne podpore in vplivu okolja na počutje posameznika, pri čemer ima pomembno vlogo tudi socialno delo, saj s svojim delovanjem prispeva k spodbujanju socialnih stikov, krepitvi socialne podpore ter izboljšanju kakovosti življenja stanovalcev v institucionalnem varstvu. Raziskava je temeljila na kvalitativnem pristopu, pri čemer sem podatke zbrala s pomočjo intervjujev s stanovalci doma za stare ljudi. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da stanovalci kakovost življenja najpogosteje povezujejo z zdravjem, dobrim počutjem, občutkom varnosti ter dobrimi odnosi z ljudmi v svojem okolju. Ugotovila sem, da socialni stiki pomembno prispevajo k boljšemu počutju stanovalcev, medtem ko njihovo pomanjkanje negativno vpliva na njihovo razpoloženje in doživljanje vsakdana. Prav tako imajo pomembno vlogo zaposleni in svojci, saj s svojo prisotnostjo, podporo in odnosom vplivajo na občutek varnosti, sprejetosti in povezanosti stanovalcev. In my thesis, I examine the quality of life of older people in institutional care, with a particular focus on the importance of social contacts and social support. The quality of life of older people is a multidimensional concept that includes physical health, psychological well-being, the level of independence, and social relationships. Social interactions are a particularly important factor in the quality of life of older people in institutional care, as they can influence the sense of belonging, reduce feelings of loneliness, and contribute to overall satisfaction. In nursing homes, social contacts with peers, staff members, and family members play a key role in maintaining the psychosocial well-being of residents. The possibility of making decisions about one’s own life and being involved in the social environment in which an individual lives also plays a key role. Moving to a nursing home represents a significant life change for an individual which, in addition to greater safety and access to assistance, also involves adapting to a new environment, new people, and a different way of life. This transition can affect an individual’s perception of autonomy, social inclusion, and overall well-being. In this context, social contacts play a crucial role, as they influence the sense of belonging, acceptance, and overall life satisfaction, while also helping individuals more easily accept changes in their way of life that result from moving into an institutional environment and adapting to a new life situation. The aim of my thesis was to explore how residents of nursing homes perceive the quality of their lives and what significance social contacts with other residents, staff members, and family members have in this context. I also focused on the role of social support and the influence of the environment on an individual’s well-being. Social work plays an important role in institutional care, as it contributes to encouraging social contacts, strengthening social support, and improving the quality of life of residents. The research was based on a qualitative approach, and I collected the data through semi-structured interviews with residents of a nursing home. The results of the study showed that residents most often associate quality of life with health, well-being, a sense of security, and good relationships with people in their environment. I found that social contacts significantly contribute to the well-being of residents, while their absence negatively affects their mood and everyday experiences. Employees and family members also play an important role, as their presence, support, and relationships influence residents’ sense of security, acceptance, and connectedness. stari ljudje institucionalno varstvo domovi za stare ljudi kakovost življenja socialne interakcije osamljenost elderly people institutional care nursing homes for the elderly quality of life social interactions loneliness true false false [A.
