Abstract

Demografske promjene ukazuju na sve veći udio starijih osoba u društvu. Raspadom tradicionalnih obitelji, dolazi do sve veće potrebe starijih osoba za skrbi od strane drugih osoba. Nasilje prema starijim osobama postalo je javnozdravstveni problem, prisutno je u institucionalnoj skrbi te postoji veći broj rizičnih čimbenika koji mogu utjecati na pojavu nasilja prema starijim osobama. Rizični čimbenici na strani osoblja odnose se na sindrom sagorijevanja na poslu, ageizam, nezadovoljstvo poslom i kvalifikacije osoblja. Kao rizični čimbenici na strani korisnika, navode se karakteristike korisnika kao što su starija dob, ženski spol, mentalne poteškoće, invaliditet, socijalni status, siromaštvo, društvena potpora, osobine korisnika koje ih mogu učiniti zahtjevnijima za dobivanje skrb te neinformiranost. Rizični čimbenici na strani organizacije su njena izoliranost, nedovoljna educiranost osoblja, negativna radna klima, nedostatak podrške menadžera, nedostatak osoblja, problemi financiranja, poteškoće pri zapošljavanju kvalificiranog osoblja, ne pružanje mogućnosti za profesionalni razvoj, neadekvatni raspored obaveza itd. Metode prevencije nasilja mogu uključivati provjeru kompetencija kandidata za zapošljavanje, povećanje svijesti supervizora o nasilju, edukacija osoblja te zapošljavanje većeg broja osoblja.
