Abstract

Demencija kao progresivna bolest predstavlja zdravstveni, obiteljski, ali i društveni rizik. Simptomi su kompleksni, očituju se kako na kognitivnoj tako i na bihevioralnoj razini te odmakom vremena postaju sve teži. Zbog toga oboljela osoba više ne može samostalno skrbiti o sebi te joj je neophodna pomoć druge osobe u zadovoljavanju svakodnevnih potreba. Uz ovu se bolest snažno veže stigma kao multidimenzionalan koncept koji u sebi nosi spoznaju da je pojedinac različit po nekom obilježju te kao takav odstupa od društveno prihvatljivih normi. Ovaj rad daje pregled rizičnih čimbenika koji pogoduju stvaranju i održavanju stigme u društvu prema oboljelima od demencije, ali i brojnih pokušaja njezine redukcije na međunarodnoj razini.

Abstract (english)

Dementia,as a progressive illness, represents health, familial, as well as a social risk. The simptoms are complex, and they manifest themselves on both the cognitive and the behavioral level. Therefore, the ill person cannot take care of themselves and the help of another person to meet their daily needs is required. A stigma called the „multidimensional concept“is often connected with this illness, which carries with it the realization that the individual is different in some characteristic and as such deviates from socially acceptable norms. This paper provides an overview of the risk factors that favor the creation and maintenance of the mentioned social stigma towards the people suffering from the dementia, but also of the numerous attempts of its reduction on the international level.
