Abstract

Novo razdoblje u životnom vijeku čovjeka, starenje, objašnjava se brojnim biološkim, psihološkim i socijalnim teorijama. Procjenjuje se kako je starenje stanovništva u sve većem porastu te za sobom nosi mnoge gospodarske, socijalne, zdravstvene posljedice. Zbog svoje su ranjivosti i slabosti starije osobe prisiljene boraviti u raznim institucijama, ovisno o potrebama. Iako bi takve institucije trebale osigurati starijim osobama sigurno utočište te im pružiti pomoć i podršku u obavljanju svakodnevnih aktivnosti, često to nije slučaj i oni su u riziku da postanu žrtve nasilja. Institucionalno nasilje koje se može pojaviti odnosi se na bilo koji čin ili propust koji uzrokuje štetu korisniku te institucije. Vrste nasilja su raznovrsne i čimbenici zbog kojih se ono događa još uvijek nisu jasno definirani, no učinkovite intervencije koje bi djelovale na svim razinama mogle bi spriječiti ili smanjiti institucionalno nasilje nad starijim osobama. Svijest o problemu i prepoznavanje njegovog opsega i prirode olakšali bi stvaranje politika potrebnih za prevenciju zlostavljanja i zanemarivanja.

Abstract (english)

A new era in the human lifetime, aging, is explained by numerous biological, psychological and social theories. The ageing of the population is estimated to be increasing and has many economic, social and health consequences. Due to their vulnerability and weaknesses, older people are forced to stay in various institutions, depending on their needs. Institutions should provide a safe haven for the elderly and help and support them in carrying out their daily activities, this is often not the case and they are at risk of becoming victims of violence. Institutional violence that may arise, relates to any act or omission that causes harm to the beneficiary of that institution. The types of violence are diverse and the factors that make it happen are not clearly defined yet, but effective interventions at all levels could prevent or reduce institutional violence against the elderly. Awareness of the problem, recognition of its scope and nature would facilitate the creation of policies necessary to prevent abuse and neglect.
