Abstract

Suvremene demografske promjene dovode do sve veće potrebe starije populacije za skrbi od strane drugih osoba. Institucionalna skrb u tom pogledu skida velik dio tereta s članova obitelji koji često nisu u mogućnosti pružiti adekvatnu skrb svojim starijim rođacima. No iako bi život u ustanovi starijim osobama trebao omogućiti dostojanstven život i odgovarajuću kvalitetu života, sve se češće progovara o zlostavljačkom okruženju koje vlada ustanovama za starije. Istraživanjima se pokušalo objasniti najčešće uzroke institucionalnog nasilja, a kao jedan od vodećih rizičnih čimbenika navodi se izloženost sindromu sagorijevanja. Sagorijevanje na radnom mjestu opisuje se kao stanje emocionalne, mentalne i tjelesne iscrpljenosti koja se javlja uslijed dugotrajne izloženosti profesionalnom stresu. Često se javlja u situacijama u kojima ne postoji sklad između onoga što se od djelatnika očekuje i njegovih stvarnih mogućnosti da izvrši određeni zadatak. Istraživanja koja su ispitivala povezanost izloženosti sindromu sagorijevanja i nasilničkog ponašanja prema korisnicima domova za starije osobe utvrdila su kako su djelatnici domova za starije koji procjenjuju viši stupanj profesionalnog sagorijevanja istovremeno češći počinitelji nasilja nad korisnicima.

Abstract (english)

Contemporary demographic changes lead to an increasing need for the elderly population to be cared for by other persons. In this sense, institutional care takes the burden off family members who are often unable to provide adequate care for their elderly relatives. But even though life in an institution for the elderly should enable a dignified life and an adequate quality of life, more and more people are talking about the abusive environment which appears in nursing homes. Research has attempted to explain the most common causes of institutional violence, and exposure to burnout syndrome is cited as one of the leading risk factors. Burnout syndrome is described as a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion that occurs as a result of long-term exposure to professional stress. It often occurs in situations where there is no harmony between what is expected of the employee and his actual capabilities to perform a certain task. Research examining the connection between burnout syndrome and violent behavior towards users of nursing homes found that employees who assess a higher degree of burnout are more frequently perpetrators of violence against users.
