| Abstract | Cilj istraživanja: Osnovni cilj istraživanja je utvrditi prisutnost anksioznosti korisnika doma za starije osobe s obzirom na njihovu spolnu pripadnosti, a također, važno je istaknuti i povezanost duljine vremenskog perioda i prilagodbe na novu okolinu s pojavom anksioznosti kod starijih osoba smještenih u domu za starije.
Ispitanici i metode: Ispitanici su korisnici Doma za starije osobe „Kantrida“ Rijeka, a istraživanje je provedeno u razdoblju od 19.07.2018. do 26.07.2018. godine, te su u njemu sudjelovala 60 korisnika spomenutog doma. Ispitanici su podijeljeni u tri kategorije, pa su tako prvu kategoriju činili ispitanici koji su u domu mjesec dana, dok su drugu skupinu činili ispitanici koji se u domu nalaze do godine dana i treću skupinu činili su ispitanici koji u spomenutom domu borave već više od godinu dana. U istraživanju je korištena anketa koja je u potpunosti anonimna. Deskriptivni podaci u radu su prikazani tabelarno i grafički, i to u obliku frekvencija i postotaka. Za ispitivanje značajnosti razlika korišten je Hi-kvadrat test. Razina statističke značajnosti postavljena je na 95% (p<0,05). Sve statističke analize provedene su koristeći statistički softver SPSS 16 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Rezultati: Rezultati istraživanja: Potvrđena je hipoteza 1: „Anksioznost je prisutnija kod starijih žena, nego kod starijih muškaraca smještenih u domu za starije osobe“. Naime, primjećuje se da je statistički značajno veći broj žena odgovorilo potvrdno na pitanje br. 8: „Osjećate li preveliku zabrinutost za sve oko sebe?“. Potvrđena je hipoteza 2: „Veća razina anksioznosti starijih osoba smještenih u domu za starije, prisutnija je u prvom mjesecu boravka u domu nego tijekom vremenskog perioda od jednog mjeseca do jedne godine, te u periodu duljem od jedne godine“, budući da ispitanici koji su u domu manje od mjesec dana, u znatno većem omjeru osjećaju trenutnu nelagodu, te ih je u znatno većem omjeru bilo zabrinuto kada su saznali da idu u dom. Potvrđena je i hipoteza 3: „Anksioznost je prisutnija kod onih korisnika doma za starije koji nisu svojevoljno odlučili otići u dom“, budući da ispitanici koji nisu svojevoljno odlučili otići u dom, u značajno većem omjeru osjećaju trenutnu nelagodu, zabrinutost kada su saznali da idu u dom, dok u značajno manjem omjeru smatraju da je odlazak u dom bio ispravna odluka, te da je njihov odlazak u dom najbolje financijsko rješenje za njihovu obitelj.
Zaključak: U radu su potvrđene sve tri hipoteze. Prisutnost anksioznosti prisutna je kod korisnika Doma za starije osobe. Duži vremenski boravak u domu, utječe na smanjenje anksioznosti kod korisnika. |
| Abstract (english) | Aim: Is to find out the level of anxiety among the elderly living in nursing home regarding to their gender, and also the importance to point out the correlation between the duration of the time period and the adaptation to the new environment with anxiety occurring in the elderly living in the nursing home.
Methods: Participants are users of the Nursing home "Kantrida" located in Rijeka and the research was conducted in the period of 19.07.2018. until 26.07.2018. 60 people from that nursing home participated in it. The respondents were divided into three categories. The first category was the respondents who were there for one month, while the second group was the respondents who were in the nursing home for up to one year. The third group were the respondents who stayed in the nursing home for more than a year. The data were collected through face to face interviews. All of the older people participated to the study were asked to
provide written informed consent. The older people were informed about the purpose of the study
and what should be expected of them. Participants were assured of rights of refusal to participate in or to withdraw from the study at any stage without any negative consequences.
A examination form was used and it that was completely anonymous. Descriptive data in the paper are presented in tabular and graphical form, in the form of frequencies and percentages. To investigate the significance of the difference, the Hi-squared test was used. The level of statistical significance was set at 95% (p <0.05). All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16 statistical software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).
Results: Hypothesis 1 was confirmed: "Anxiety is more common among older women than older men in the nursing home for the elderly." Namely, a statistically significant number of women responded positively to question no. 8: "Do you feel too much concern for everyone around you?"
Hypothesis 2 was confirmed: "The higher level of anxiety of older people in a nursing home for the elderly is present in the first month of residence in the nursing home but over a period of one month to one year, and over a period longer than one year", since respondents that were in a nursing home less than a month, they feel at a much higher rate of discomfort, and they were more worried when they found out they are going to nursing home.
Hypothesis 3 was also confirmed: "Anxiety is more present in those nursing home-users for the elderly who have not deliberately decided to go there", since those who did not choose to go by they will, have a much greater sense of momentary discomfort when they find out they are going at nursing home, while at a significantly lower rate they believe that going in nursing home is the right decision and that their departure is the best financial solution for their family.
Conclusion: All three hypotheses are confirmed. The level of anxiety is present among elderly living in the nursing home. Longer period living at nursing home, affects the reduction of anxiety in the elderly people living in nursing home. |
