Samomor ima v Sloveniji strahovite razsežnosti, ki se razlikujejo od regije do regije. Kljub resnosti samomorilne problematike pa Slovenija še vedno nima izdelanega programa za preprečevanje samomorilnosti kot jo imajo nekatere druge države. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti problematiko samomorilnosti med starejšimi od 65 let v Podravski regiji in jo primerjati z ostalimi regijami v Sloveniji. Želeli smo tudi odkriti vzroke, ki pripeljejo starejše do razmišljanja o predčasnem in zavednem končanju svojega življenja. Metodologija raziskovanja. Uporabljena je bila kvantitativna metodologija. Kot instrument za zbiranje podatkov smo uporabili vprašalnik. Podatki, pridobljeni z vprašalnikom, so bili statistično obdelani s programskim orodjem Microsoft Excel in Microsof Word. Rezultati. Ugotavljamo, da je stopnja samomorilnosti v Podravski regiji višja od slovenskega povprečja. Ugotovili smo, da bi petnajst posameznikov naredilo samomor, če bi bili neozdravljivo bolni. V primerjavi z drugimi raziskavami, je tudi naša raziskava pokazala, da so k samomoru bolj nagnjeni moški kot ženske. Sklep. Medicinske sestre, kot pomembni akterji pri preprečevanju samomorilnosti morajo s starejšimi vzpostaviti empatičen odnos, še posebej z moškimi, kajti ti redkeje obiščejo zdravnika in težje spregovorijo o svojih težavah. Več časa si morajo vzeti za tiste, ki imajo težave z vidom, sluhom in kronično bolečino, saj ti posamezniki pogosteje pomislijo na samomor. Suicides have reached horrific dimensions in Slovenia, although they differ from region to region. Despite the serious issue of suicide rate, Slovenia still hasn't developed a program for suicide prevention that already exists in some other countries. The purpose of the thesis is to present the suicide rate issue among people older than 65 years in the Podravje region and it’s comparison to other regions in Slovenia. One of our main objectives was to determine the cause why older people start to think about premature and conscious ending of their lives. Research methodology. A quantitative method was used. As an instrument for collecting data we used a questionnaire. Data from the questionnaire was statistically analyzed in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word programs. Results. We reached the conclusion that the suicide rate in Podravje region is higher than the Slovene average. One of our findings was also that quite a few individuals would commit suicide in the case of the incurable disease. Similar to other surveys, we also conclude that men are more likely to commit suicide than women. Conclusion. Nurses as important agents for suicide prevention have to establish empathic relationship with older people, especially with men, since they rarely visit the doctor and find it difficult to talk about their problems. They must spend more time with visually and hearing impaired people and those with chronic illness, since these individuals more often think about committing suicide. |
