| Popis: | Cilj: Cilj rada je utvrditi specifičnosti i stvarne potrebe, kao i mogućnosti za unaprjeđenje skrbi za starije osobe na području Grada Rijeke, oslanjajući se prvenstveno na javnozdravstvene i bioetičke aspekte. Ispitanici i metode: Ispitanici su podijeljeni u tri skupine: osobe starije životne dobi te formalni i neformalni pružatelji skrbi s područja Grada Rijeke. U svakoj skupini provedena je kvalitativna metoda fokus-grupe prema unaprijed određenom protokolu. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom 2015. godine, a obuhvatilo je ukupno 40 ispitanika: osobe starije životne dobi (N = 12), formalni pružatelji skrbi (N = 14) i neformalni pružatelji skrbi (N = 14). Rezultati: Dobiveni rezultati prikazani su u objedinjenim kategorijama za odgovarajuće tematske cjeline: percepcija starije dobi, očekivanja i potrebe, korištenje lijekova, organizacija zdravstvene skrbi, korištenje modernih tehnologija te unaprjeđenje zdravlja. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji potreba razvijanja infrastrukture i metoda samopomoći u zajednici s ciljem unaprjeđenja kvalitete života osoba starije životne dobi i produljenja samostalnosti. Zaključci: Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu integracije zdravstvene i socijalne skrbi uz podršku lokalne zajednice Grada Rijeke s posljedičnim smanjenjem troškova skrbi i unaprjeđenjem kvalitete života i produljenja samostalnosti osoba starije životne dobi. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the specificities and real needs as well as the possibilities for care improvement of elderly in the City of Rijeka primarily through public health and bioethics perspectives. Subjects and methods: The examinees were divided into three groups: elderly, and formal and informal caregivers from the City of Rijeka. In each group, a qualitative focus group method was performed according to a predetermined protocol. The study was conducted during 2015 and included a total number of 40 examinees: elderly (N = 12), formal caregivers (N = 14) and informal caregivers (N = 14). RESULTS: Study results are shown in integrated categories for particular thematic issues: perception of ageing, expectation and needs, usage of medicines, organization of health care, usage of modern technologies, and health promotion. Results have shown that there is a need for further development of infrastructure self-management methods in community in order to improve the quality of life and prolongation of independence of the elderly. Conclusions: The results indicate the need for integration of health and social care with the support of local community of the City of Rijeka with consequent reduction of care costs and the improvement of the quality of life and extended independence of the elderly. |
