Abstract

Cilj ovog završnog rada je definirati seksualno nasilje nad osobama starije životne dobi, opisati oblike nasilja nad starijima te pojasniti koja je sve uloga socijalnog rada na navedenom području. Kako je u Hrvatskoj uočen trend starenja stanovništva, događa se smanjivanje udjela mladih i istovremeno povećavanje udjela starog stanovništva zbog sve dužeg životnog vijeka. Upravo iz tog razloga, važno je staviti u fokus starije osobe i vidjeti s kojim problemima se oni suočavaju, a jedan od nedovoljno istraženih problema je seksualno nasilje. Još uvijek ne postoji jedinstvena definicija seksualnog nasilja nad osobama starije životne dobi i upravo bi tu socijalni radnici mogli dati svoj doprinos. Najvažnije je da socijalni radnici budu poznavatelji oblika seksualnog nasilja nad osobama starije životne dobi i da su spremni odgovoriti na problem etično, suosjećajno i učinkovito.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this final paper is to define sexual abuse of elderly, to describe the forms of abuse against the elderly and to explain the role of social work in this area. As the trend of population aging has been observed in Croatia, there is a decrease in the share of young people and at the same time an increase in the share of the elderly population due to longer life expectancy. Precisely for these reasons, it is important to focus on the elderly and see what problems they face, one of the under-researched problems is sexual violence. There is still no unique definition of sexual abuse against the elderly, and this is where social workers could contribute. The most important thing is that social workers are aware of the forms of sexual abuse against the elderly and that they are ready to respond to the problem ethically, compassionately and effectively.
