Title Utjecaj pandemije COVID-19 na život i zdravlje osoba smještenih u domovima za starije i nemoćne Title (english) The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives and health of residents in nursing homes and long-term care facilities Author Ana Olivari Mentor Tomislav Meštrović (mentor)Committee member Ivana Živoder (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Tomislav Meštrović (član povjerenstva)Committee member Marijana Neuberg (član povjerenstva)Granter University North Defense date and country 2024-10-22, Croatia Scientific / art field, BIOMEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE Abstract Iako je starenje gotovo univerzalna istina koju svi doživljavaju tijekom života, ključno je razumjeti i kliničku i epidemiološku važnost ovog procesa. Starenje donosi niz promjena u čitavom spektru tjelesnih sustava, koje zahtijevaju posebnu njegu i upravljanje. Biološki govoreći, starenje je kronična, normalna kulminacija gubitka specifičnih regenerativnih i biozaštitnih mehanizama koji se tijekom vremena javljaju u organizmu. Starenje je samo po sebi fiziološki proces, odnosno normalna faza životnog tijeka čovjeka, koja nastaje u trenutku rođenja, a završava trenutkom smrti. Proces skrbi u domovima za starije i nemoćne značajno se razvio u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća. Demografija štićenika u domovima za starije evoluirala je tijekom vremena, kao i udio stanovništva koji traži skrb u domovima za starije i nemoćne. Koronavirusna bolest koja se pojavila u Wuhanu, Kina, imala katastrofalan učinak na svijet, rezultirajući s više od 6 milijuna smrtnih slučajeva diljem svijeta. Opći podaci pokazuju da je više od polovice osoba kojima je dijagnosticirana infekcija virusom SARS-CoV-2 starije od 60 godina, segment populacije koji najčešće ima teže simptome bolesti. Cilj diplomskog rada je sustavnim pregledom literature prikazati koliko je i na koji način pandemija COVID-19 utjecala na zdravlje i dobrobit osoba starije životne dobi koji su smješteni u domove za starije. Pretražena je literatura dostupna u znanstvenim i citatnim bazama podataka koje su uključivale PubMed, Google Scolar, Hrčak, Medline, Cochrane i ResearchGate. Visoko educirane medicinske sestre ključne su osoba za prevenciju i kontrolu širenja pandemije COVID-19 kod starijih osoba. Uloge visoko educiranih medicinskih sestara u skrbi za starije osobe u pandemiji COVID-19 uključuju edukaciju, provođenje zdravstvene skrbi, koordinaciju pristupa zdravstvenim uslugama, promicanje zdravlja za osnaživanje. Visoko educirane medicinske sestre važne su osobe u zdravstvenom sustavu čije su uloge odgovaranje na potrebe pacijenata i njegove obitelji, posebno među ranjivim skupinama, uključujući starije osobe.
Abstract (english) Although aging is an almost universal truth that everyone experiences throughout life, it is crucial to understand both the clinical and epidemiological importance of this process. Aging brings about a series of changes in the entire spectrum of body systems, which require special care and management. Biologically speaking, aging is a chronic, normal culmination of the loss of specific regenerative and bioprotective mechanisms that occur in the body over time. Aging in itself is a physiological process, that is, a normal phase of a person's life, which begins at the moment of birth and ends at the moment of death. The care process in nursing homes has developed significantly over the last few decades. The demographics of nursing home residents have evolved over time, as has the proportion of the population seeking nursing home care. The coronavirus disease that emerged in Wuhan, China has had a catastrophic effect on the world, resulting in more than 6 million deaths worldwide. General data show that more than half of the people diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection are over 60 years old, a segment of the population that most often has more severe symptoms of the disease. The aim of the diploma thesis is to show, through a systematic review of the literature, how much and in what way the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the health and well-being of elderly people who are placed in homes for the elderly. The searched literature was available in scientific and citation databases, which included PubMed, Google Scholar, Hrčak, Medline, Cochrane and ResearchGate. The roles of highly educated nurses in the care of the elderly in the COVID-19 pandemic include education, health care delivery, coordination of access to health services, health promotion for empowerment. Highly educated nurses are important people in the health system whose roles are to respond to the needs of patients and their families, especially among vulnerable groups, including the elderly.
