Violence against the eldery in nursing home

Nasilje nad starejšimi je področje, ki je družbi znano. Takšno nasilje je tudi danes v veliki meri skrito in ga je težko odkriti. Najpogostejše oblike nasilja nad starejšimi ljudmi so: fizično, psihično ter finančno nasilje. Najbolj so nasilju izpostavljeni stari ljudje, ki so oslabeli, bolni, tisti, ki se težko fizično branijo, depresivni in dementni bolniki ter starostniki z drugimi kroničnimi duševnimi motnjami. Ker so institucionalne zlorabe najbolj neraziskana oblika zlorab in je raziskav o tem malo, smo naredili raziskavo, v katero smo vključili stanovalce doma starejših v Posavju. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 40 stanovalcev. Osnovna metoda zbiranja podatkov za raziskavo je bil anketni vprašalnik, s katerim smo poskušali pridobiti podatke o zlorabah v domu za starejše. Spraševali smo jih o pojavu nasilja nad stanovalci, katere vrste nasilja so doživeli, kdo je nad njimi izvajal nasilje, komu so se pritožili in kako je bila njihova pritožba rešena. Z analizo pridobljenih podatkov vprašalnika smo ugotovili, da je nasilje v domu starejših v posameznih primerih prisotno, nekaj stanovalcev navaja ponovitve nasilja. V večini primerov so nasilni do stanovalcev sostanovalci in svojci. Nihče od stanovalcev ne navaja kot storilca zlorabe in nasilja zdravstvenega oz. negovalnega kadra. Kot najpogostejšo obliko nasilja, ki se izvaja nad stanovalci so izpostavili verbalno nasilje, manjši odstotek stanovalcev navaja fizično in finančno nasilje.Violence against the older people is very well known. Such violence is now largely hidden and difficult to detect. The most common forms of violence against the older people are physical, mental and financial violence. The most vulnerable are those who are impaired, sick, who find it difficult to physically defend themselves, depressed and dementia patients, and elderly with other chronic mental disorders. Since the institutional abuse is not so explored form of abuse, we did a survey in which we included elderly home residents in the Posavje Region. The study included 40 residents. The basic method of data collection for the survey was a questionnaire, with which we tried to obtain information about the abuses in homes for the elderly. We asked them about the phenomenon of violence against them, the types of violence experienced, who had carried out the violence against them, who had complained and how their complaints were resolved. By analyzing obtained data, we found out that violence was in isolated cases present in older homes. Moreover, some residents indicate a recurrence of violence. In most cases violence is committed by roommates and relatives. None of the residents named hospital staff and nursing staff as a perpetrator of abuse and violence. The most common form of violence carried out against the older people is the verbal abuse. However, a smaller percentage of residents are stating the physical and financial violence also
