Abstract

Proces porasta broja starijeg stanovništva negativan je demografski trend čije
posljedice sve više dolaze do izražaja. Povećanje zahtjeva za smještajem u domovima za
starije rezultiralo je manjkom kapaciteta za zbrinjavanje starijih osoba, ali i dovelo u pitanje
kvalitetu života korisnika unutar postojećih domova. Shodno tome, zadovoljenje njihovih
potreba predstavlja veliki izazov s kojim se susreću mnogobrojne zemlje, pa time i Hrvatska.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u potrebe starijih osoba koje koriste uslugu smještaja
u domu za starije, iz perspektive korisnika jednog doma na području Grada Zagreba. U
istraživanju je sudjelovalo 30 sudionika. Polustrukturiranim intervjuom nastojalo se ispitati
koje su potrebe osoba starije životne dobi koje koriste uslugu smještaja u domu za starije te
kako bi se mogle zadovoljiti njihove potrebe. Sudionici istraživanja istaknuli su potrebu za
povezanošću s obitelji, prijateljima i poznanicima, potrebu za autonomijom pri ostvarivanju
prava na osobno mišljenje i slobodu odlučivanja, potrebu za kompetencijom, radom i
stvaranjem, potrebu za primjerenom i kvalitetnom prehranom, potrebu za sigurnošću te
potrebu za poštovanjem i boljim međusobnim odnosima sa ostalim korisnicima i osobljem
doma. U području zadovoljenja njihovih potreba navodi se volonterski rad, osiguranje
kvalitetnih stambenih uvjeta, posvećenost države u skrbi za starije osobe aktivnim pristupom u
dodatnom financiranju, uspostava kvalitetnog pristupa od strane stručnih djelatnika doma te
podizanje kvalitete zdravstvene skrbi. Zadovoljenje navedenog bi ujedno značilo i
poduzimanje akcija sa svrhom podizanja ukupne dobrobiti starijih osoba i unaprjeđenja
kvalitete njihova života.

Abstract (english)

The consequences of the negative demographic trends being on the rise are
becoming more evident. The increasing demand for places in retirement or nursing homes has
resulted in a lack of capacity and questioning of the living quality of the residents in existing
homes. Consequently, many countries, including Croatia, face challenges in trying to cater to
their residents’ needs. The goal of this study was to get an insight into the needs of the elderly
who are residents of nursing homes, from the perspective of the residents of one nursing home
in the City of Zagreb. 30 subjects were involved in the study. The study aimed to examine the
needs of the elderly residents of retirement and nursing homes for their needs to be met. The
subjects of the study have pointed out the need for a relationship with their families and
friends, the need for autonomy when it comes to exercising their right to their personal
opinion, the need for competence, work and creation, the need for appropriate, high quality
nutrition, the need for security and the need for mutual respect and better relationships with
other residents and the staff as important to them. What is noted in the area of meeting their
needs is volunteer work, ensuring quality housing conditions, the commitment of the State to
care for the elders alongside additional funding, high quality approach from the specialist
personnel and raising the quality of the healthcare. Meeting these demands would mean that
active steps are being taken towards the goal of raising the overall well-being and quality of
life of the elders.
