Employee education in nursing homes regional unit Ravne na Koroškem

Demenci se zadnja leta aktivno posvečajo na Ministrstvu za zdravje in na Ministrstvu za delo, družino, socialne zadeve in enake možnosti. MDDSZ je izdalo Usmeritve za delo z osebami z demenco na področju institucionalnega varstva, demenca je pomembnejšo mesto dobila tudi v Resoluciji o nacionalnem programu socialnega varstva za obdobje 2013¬—2020, Ministrstvo za zdravje pa je dalo v javno razpravo Strategijo obvladovanja demence v Sloveniji do leta 2020. V teoretičnem delu naloge smo predstavili pojem razvoj kadrov, ki je neposredno povezan z izobraževanjem zaposlenih. Izobraževanje prispeva k večji produktivnosti in kakovosti dela, kar je zelo pomembno za uspešnost organizacije. V nadaljevanju smo opisali izobraževanje zaposlenih v socialnem varstvu, kjer smo se osredotočili na domove za starejše, saj se delež starejših ljudi povečuje, s tem pa tudi delež obolelih za demenco. Delo z dementnimi osebami poteka počasneje in mora biti prilagojeno njihovim potrebam in zmožnostim, zato je pomembno, da se ugotovi, koliko znanja imajo zaposleni za delo z obolelimi starostniki. Z raziskavo v domovih za starejše v območni enoti Ravne na Koroškem smo prišli do podatkov, da ima največ zaposlenih srednje znanje za delo z osebami z demenco, kljub temu, da jih ima večina vsak dan stik z njimi. Tukaj zaznamo problem, da imajo zaposleni premalo znanja za delo s takšnimi osebami, zato smo kot rešitev predlagali permanentno izobraževanje vseh zaposlenih v domovih za starejše, ki so v stiku z osebami z demenco.The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities has been actively dedicated to dementia in recent years. Ministry of Labour has issued guidelines for working with people with dementia in institutional care. A more prominent place is given to dementia in the Resolution on the National Social Assistance Programme for the period of 2013—2020. The Ministry of Health has put the Strategy of Restraining Dementia to public debate in Slovenia by 2020. In the theoretical part of the thesis we presented the concept of human resources development, which is directly related to the training of employees. Education contributes to increased productivity and quality of work, which is very important for the success of the organization. Furthermore we describe the education of employees in social care, where we focus on homes for the elderly, as the proportion of older people increases, and thus the proportion of people living with dementia. Working with people with dementia is taking place more slowly and must be adapted to their needs and abilities, so it is important to determine how much knowledge the employees have, to work with the ailing elderly. With the research in nursing homes in the regional unit Ravne na Koroškem we concluded that the most employees have medium expertise working with people with dementia, despite the fact that most have daily contact with them. Here we detect the problem of employees having insufficient knowledge when working with people with dementia, which is why we propose as a solution an ongoing education of all employees in nursing homes, that are in contact with people with dementia
