Stališča starih ljudi do domov za stare : diplomsko delo

Magić, Patricia (author), Grebenc, Vera (mentor)

Diplomsko delo obravnava mnenja in prepričanja starih ljudi, ki živijo v domačem okolju o domovih za stare. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila razvoj institucionalnega varstva za stare ljudi v Sloveniji, socialno delo s starimi ljudmi, socialno delo v domovih za stare, opisala pa sem tudi predsodke do starih in predsodke do domov za stare ljudi. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kaj stari ljudje, ki še živijo v domačem okolju, menijo o domovih za stare in kaj je vplivalo na oblikovanje takšnega mnenja. Zanimale so me tudi izkušnje starih ljudi z domovi, razlogi, zaradi katerih se stari ljudje odločajo za odhod v dom, ter morebitna pričakovanja in želje za življenje v domu. Poudarila sem tudi pomen socialnega dela pri prvem stiku starega človeka z domom. V raziskavi je sodelovalo štirinajst starih ljudi, ki so se razlikovali po spolu, starosti, okolju bivanja, prihodkih in po tem, s kom živijo. Podatke sem pridobila z intervjuji in jih analizirala na kvalitativen način. Rezultati so pokazali, da stari ljudje domove dobro poznajo. Med sodelujočimi v raziskavi je prisotno tako pozitivno kot negativno mnenje o domovih za stare, pri čemer je negativno mnenje večkrat izraženo. Na podlagi raziskave sem ugotovila, da na oblikovanje mnenja o domovih vplivajo predvsem izkušnje drugih pa tudi lastne izkušnje z obiski v domovih in mediji. Sogovorniki so navajali negativne in pozitivne izkušnje z domovi, kot razlog za odhod v dom pa so največkrat navedli osamljenost, nezmožnost samooskrbe in pomanjkanje druge izbire. Večina sodelujočih v raziskavi bi ob odhodu v dom imela negativne občutke. Najpogosteje izražena želja v povezavi z življenjem v domu je bila želja po primerni oskrbi. Predlagam večje informiranje o domovih in drugih oblikah pomoči, vključitev medijev z namenom prikazovanja dobrih plati domov in ustreznejšo organizacijo dela v domovih.

• Title: Standpoints of the Older People towards Homes for Older People

Abstract

Graduation thesis deals with the opinions and beliefs of older people living in a home environment about homes for older people. In the theoretical part I presented the development of institutional care for the older people in Slovenia, social work with older people, social work in homes for older people, and I also described prejudices against older people and prejudices against homes for older people. Purpose of this research was to find out what older people who still live in the home environment think about homes for older people and what influenced the formation of such an opinion. I was also interested in the experiences of older people with homes for older people, the reasons why older people decide to go to home for older people, and any expectations and desires for living in a home for older people. I also stressed the importance of social work in the first contact of older people with home for older people. Research involved fourteen older people who differed in gender, age, living environment, income and who they live with. I collected the data through interviews and analyzed them in a qualitative way. The results showed that older people know homes well. Both positive and negative opinions about homes for older people are present among the participants, with a negative opinion being expressed several times. Based on the research, I found that the formation of an opinion about homes is influenced mainly by the experience of others, but also by one’s own experience with visits to homes and the media. Participants mentioned negative and positive experiences with homes. They said that loneliness, inability to take care for yourself, and lack of other choices are reasons for going to home for older people. Most participants would have negative feelings when going to home for older people. The most commonly expressed desire in connection with living in a home was the desire for adequate care. I suggest informing more people about homes for older people and other forms of help. I also suggest to involve the media in order to show the good sides of homes for older people and a more appropriate organization of work in homes for older people.
