Abstract

Nasilje nad starijim osobama predstavlja specifičan problem za stručnjake obzirom na česta sukobljavanja osnovnih etičkih principa. Često sukobljeni principi javljaju se u području prava starijih osoba na samoodređenje i dužnosti stručnjaka u zaštiti istih. Također, nepostojanje jasnih definicija, zakona i smjernica za djelovanje otežava stručnjacima rad i izbor strategija i intervencija u određenoj situaciji. Osim navedenih etičkih izazova, prisutan je izazov dužnosti prijavljivanja, pri čemu stručnjaci nemaju jasne upute ni zaštitu, zatim manjak edukacije za specifično područje nasilja nad starijim te neostvarivosti djelovanja multidisciplinarnog pristupa. Nadalje, izazov u radu stručnjacima predstavlja niska razina osviještenosti društva za ovu problematiku te percpecija starijih osoba koje ne žele pomoć. Potrebno je stoga ulagati u navedeno područje pružanjem jasnih smjernica stručnjacima, održavanjem supervizije i potrebitih edukacija kako bi se olakšalo i omogućilo što učinkovitije djelovanje istih i time zaštita starijih osoba žrtava nasilja.

Abstract (english)

Elder abuse is a specific problem for professionals dealing with conflicts of basic ethical principles. Often conflicting principles occur in the area of the right of the elderly to self-determination and the duty of experts in their protection. Also, the lack of clear definitions, laws and guidelines for action makes it difficult for experts to work and choose a strategy and intervention in a particular situation. In addition to the above ethical challenges, there is the challenge of the duty to report, where experts do not have clear instructions or protection, then the lack of education for a specific area of elder abuse and the impossibility of a multidisciplinary approach. Furthermore, the challenge in the work of experts is the low level of public awareness for this issue of perpetuation of the elderly who do not want help. It is therefore necessary to invest in this area to provide clear professionals, maintain supervision and need education to facilitate and enable the use of the same and the time of protection of elderly victims of violence.
