THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF ELDERLY IN NURSING HOMES

Ljudi su danas puno zdraviji i vode produktivnije živote nego ikada ranije. Razlog tome je društveni i ekonomski napredak, posebice javnozdravstvenih mjera za uspješniju prevenciju i suzbijanje bolesti. No ipak, pomak prema starenju uzrokuje i porast broja onih kojima je potrebna određena skrb i zbrinjavanje. Obzirom na napredak i rast sestrinstva u zadnjem desetljeću, cilj ovog istraživanja je dobiti saznanja o načinu života u domovima za starije osobe, kvaliteti starenja i čimbenicima koji utječu na zadovoljstvo/nezadovoljstvo kvalitetom života u takvim ustanovama. Ispitanici (N=100) su vrlo zadovoljni osobljem u domu. Sviđa im se njihovo ophođenje sa starijim osobama i ljubaznost te spremnost uvažavanja njihovih primjedbi. Ulaganje u kontinuiranu edukaciju omogućuje rast sestrinstva, a to je preduvjet za povećanje kvalitete života i zdravstvene njege starijih osoba smještenih u domove za starije i nemoćne.People are much healthier today and lead more productive lives than ever before. This is due to social and economic progress, in particular public health measures for more effective prevention and control of disease. However, the shift towards aging also causes an increase in the number of those in need of care and care. Considering the progress and growth of nursing in the last decade, the aim of this research is to gain insight into the lifestyle in nursing homes, the quality of aging and the factors that influence satisfaction / dissatisfaction with the quality of life in such institutions. Respondents (N = 100) are very satisfied with the staff in the home. They like their treatment of the elderly and their kindness and willingness to take their comments into account. Investing in continuing education enables the growth of nursing, which is a prerequisite for increasing the quality of life and health care of the elderly placed in nursing homes
