20.500.12556/RUL-186041 Osamljenost starih ljudi v domu za stare ljudi Loneliness of Older People in a Home for Older People V diplomskem delu sem raziskovala doživljanje osamljenosti med stanovalci doma za stare ljudi ter vlogo socialnega dela pri prepoznavanju in zmanjševanju osamljenosti v institucionalnem okolju. Osamljenost predstavlja pomembno socialno in čustveno stisko, ki lahko vpliva na kakovost življenja, duševno zdravje in občutek povezanosti med starimi ljudmi. V domovih za stare ljudi se lahko pojavlja kljub vsakodnevnim stikom z drugimi ljudmi, saj je pogosto povezana z izgubami, spremembami življenjskega okolja in zmanjševanjem socialnega omrežja. V teoretičnem delu sem obravnavala področja starosti in staranja, osamljenosti v starosti, institucionalnega varstva starih ljudi ter vlogo socialnega dela v domovih za stare ljudi. Posebno pozornost sem namenila različnim dejavnikom, ki prispevajo k občutkom osamljenosti, ter pomenu socialne podpore pri ohranjanju kakovosti življenja v starosti. Empirični del temelji na kvalitativni raziskavi, v kateri sem podatke zbirala z delno strukturiranimi intervjuji. V raziskavo sem vključila šest stanovalcev Doma starejših občanov Bežigrad v Ljubljani. Pridobljene podatke sem nato analizirala s pomočjo odprtega in osnega kodiranja. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da stanovalci osamljenost doživljajo na različne načine. K njenemu pojavu prispevajo predvsem izgube pomembnih oseb, spremembe življenjskega okolja, zmanjšani stiki z bližnjimi, prehod v institucionalno okolje ter nekatere značilnosti življenja v domu za stare ljudi. Osamljenost se izraža skozi različne čustvene in vedenjske odzive, hkrati pa nanjo pomembno vplivajo tudi odnosi z drugimi ljudmi in vključevanje v aktivnosti. Ugotovitve so pokazale tudi, da ima socialno delo pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju čustvene podpore, spodbujanju socialne vključenosti ter ustvarjanju priložnosti za pogovor in medosebno povezovanje. Diplomsko delo prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju osamljenosti v institucionalnem okolju in opozarja na pomen socialnega dela pri krepitvi socialne vključenosti, podpore in kakovosti življenja starih ljudi. In my thesis, I explored the experience of loneliness among older people in a home for older people and the role of social work in identifying and reducing loneliness in a home for older people. Loneliness represents a significant social and emotional challenge that can affect the quality of life, mental health, and sense of connectedness of older people. In for older people, loneliness may occur despite daily contact with other people, as it is often associated with losses, changes in the living environment, and a shrinking social network. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on old age and ageing, loneliness in later life, institutional care for older people, and the role of social work in residential care homes. Special attention is given to the various factors that contribute to the feelings of loneliness and to the importance of social support in maintaining quality of life in old age. In the empirical part, I focused on the qualitative research. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six residents of the Home for older people Bežigrad Ljubljana. The collected data were analysed using open and axial coding. The findings indicate that residents experience loneliness in different ways. The main factors that contribute to loneliness include the loss of significant others, changes in the living environment, reduced contact with family members and friends, the transition to institutional care, and certain characteristics of life in a home for older people. Loneliness is expressed through various emotional and behavioural responses, while relationships with other people and participation in activities may also play a significant role in shaping the experience of loneliness. The results further show that social work does play an important role in providing emotional support, encouraging social inclusion, and creating opportunities for conversation and interpersonal connection. This thesis contributes to a better understanding of loneliness in institutional settings and highlights the importance of social work in strengthening social inclusion, support, and the quality of life of older people. dom za stare ljudi socialno delo institucionalno varstvo socialna podpora socialna vključenost home for older people social work institutional care social support social inclusion true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2026-08-26 09:01:03 2026-08-26 09:01:06 2026-08-27 04:35:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 57540 21099.pdf 21099.pdf 1 4F8C3ED81F0DB3F23975A701DCA75247 7a9b6e041cb7b72b83001952e265811309dcd7a2552c2cd5d2ccf0e6c95efdd1 7f60b43a-a11b-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=245092 Fakulteta za socialno delo 0 0 0
