Abstract

U Hrvatskoj kao i u ostalim Europskim zemljama sve je veći udio starije populacije. Upravo zbog toga, potražnja za domovima za starije sve je veća. Glavno pitanje koje se uvijek postavlja odnosi se na kvalitetu života korisnika domova za starije. Aktualna situacija Covid pandemije uvelike je utjecala na kvalitetu života sviju pa tako i starijih osoba. Cilj ovog rada jest preko postojećih istraživanja spoznati kvalitetu života korisnika domova za starije osobe za vrijeme Covid pandemije. Pregledom postojećih istraživanja može se zaključiti kako je ukupna kvaliteta života korisnika domova za starije za vrijeme Covid pandemije zadovoljavajuća. Unatoč dobivenim dobrim rezultatima vezanih za kvalitetu života, Covid pandemija ostavila je svoje posljedice. To se prvenstveno odnosi na mentalno zdravlje koje se kod nekih korisnika domova za starije pokazalo narušeno i to mjerama koje su se provodile kako bi se spriječilo širenje Covid-19 virusa. Usprkos tome, poduzete su određene mjere kako bi se te posljedice prevenirale, smanjile ili uklonile.

Abstract (english)

In Croatia, as in other European countries, the part of the elderly population is increasing. Precisely because of this, the demand for nursing homes is increasing. The main question that is always asked concerns the quality of life of home care users. The current situation of the Covid pandemic has greatly affected the quality of life of everyone, including the elderly. The aim of this paper is to find out, through existing research, the quality of life of home users during the Covid pandemic. A review of existing research can conclude that the overall quality of life of nursing home users during the Covid pandemic is satisfactory. Despite the good results obtained in terms of quality of life, the Covid pandemic has left its consequences. This primarily refers to the mental health of some users of old people's homes, which has been shown to be impaired by measures taken to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Nevertheless, certain measures have been taken to prevent, reduce or eliminate these consequences.
