Abstract

Alkoholizam je danas treća bolest suvremenog čovječanstva. Zadnjih godina postao je jedan od glavnih javnozdravstvenih problema u svijetu, kako sa socijalnog, tako i sa ekonomskog stajališta. Broj starijih osoba koje se liječe od alkoholizma stalno raste. MeĎutim, iako je alkoholizam meĎu starijom populacijom sve više raširen, pristupa mu se s premalo pažnje. Istraživanja koja se provode uglavnom se fokusiraju na mlaĎu populaciju, dok je starija populacija i u ovom segmentu zapostavljena. U radu se pobliže govori o uzrocima nastanka alkoholizma, kao i o oblicima alkoholizma. Neki od ciljeva su uvidjeti koje su posljedice alkoholizma kod starijih osoba, sagledati ulogu obitelji u ovom području, kao i načine liječenja. Uz to, istražiti će se koje su preventivne mjere koje pomažu pri sprječavanju razvitka ove bolesti, kao i važnost uloge socijalnog rada u ovom području.

Abstract (english)

Nowadays, alcoholism is the third disease of the modern society. In recent years, it has become one of the main public health-related issues in the world, both socially and economically. The number of elderly people having been treated for alcoholism is constantly increasing. However, although alcoholism is being more and more spread among older population, too little attention is being given to it. Research projects being carried out, mostly focus on younger population, while older population is being neglected in this segment too. This paper discusses about causes of alcoholism, along with its types. Some of the paper’s aims are to recognize the consequences of alcoholism in the elderly and investigate both the family role in this area, and treatment options. Finally, preventive measures which help with inhibiting the development of this disease will also be examined, along with the importance of social work in this area.
