Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je opisivanje problema institucionalnog nasilja nad starijim osobama.
Nasilje nad starijima u institucijama poput zdravstvenih ustanova i domova za
starije osobe podrazumijeva namjerno ili nenamjerno djelovanje formalnog
njegovatelja koji je u odnosu povjerenja sa starijom osobom, koje uzrokuje štetu ili
stvara rizik od štete starijim osobama, kao i propuštanje njegovatelja da zadovolji
osnovne životne potrebe starije osobe ili da ju zaštiti od nastanka štete. Ono
obuhvaća fizičko, psihološko, ekonomsko (financijsko) i seksualno zlostavljanje, te
zanemarivanje. Rad prikazuje teorijska objašnjenja nastanka ovog fenomena, oblike
u kojima se javlja, faktore rizika koji mogu dovesti do njegovog javljanja, načine
preveniranja nasilja, te prikaz dosadašnjih međunarodnih istraživanja relevantnih za
ovo područje budući da u Republici Hrvatskoj ne postoje empirijski podaci, te
stručna i šira javnost nije upoznata s ovom problematikom. Za očekivati je da će s
porastom starijih osoba u društvu, jačanjem svijesti o pravima starijih osoba na
dostojanstven život i ovo područje postati interesom svih značajnih aktera.

Abstract (english)

The goal of this essay is to display the problem of the abuse of the elderly in the
institutional setting. Elderly abuse in the institutional setting of nursing homes and
medical institutions includes intentional or unintentional actions that cause harm or
create a risk of harm, to an older adult by a formal caregiver who has a trust
relationship with the elder, or failure by a caregiver to satisfy an older person’s
fundamental needs or to protect the elder from harm. It includes physical abuse,
psychological abuse, economical (financial) abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. This
essay displays theoretical origins of this phenomenon, different forms of abuse, risk
factors which can cause abuse to appear, ways to prevent abuse and a review of upto-
date international studies which are relevant for this topic, given the fact that in
the Republic of Croatia there is no empirical data and that the experts and public
are not familiar with this phenomenon. A change in this area is expected, given the
unavoidable rise of the elderly population and growing awareness of the rights of the
elderly to a dignified existence.
