Abstract

Podaljševanje življenjske dobe in staranje prebivalstva sta dva procesa, ki predstavljata izziv za sodobno družbo. V magistrskem delu smo se osredotočili na tematiko staranja oseb z motnjami v duševnem razvoju, ki je relativno nova tema raziskovanja in ji v slovenskem prostoru ni posvečene veliko pozornosti. Najprej smo predstavili splošna teoretična izhodišča o starosti in staranju, saj procesi staranja pri osebah z motnjami v duševnem razvoju potekajo podobno kot pri večinski populaciji. Opisali smo možne oblike skrbi za starejše osebe ter storitve oziroma programe pri nas, kjer prevladuje institucionalna usmeritev. Problematika starostnikov z motnjami v duševnem razvoju je pogosto povezana z ločnico med skrbjo za osebe s posebnimi potrebami in skrbjo za starostnike. Podrobno smo obravnavali vsebinske sklope o staranju oseb z motnjami v duševnem razvoju – definiranje, številčnost populacije, značilnosti in posebne potrebe, koncepte za uspešno staranje ter storitve in programe pri nas ter v tujini. Skrb za starostnike z motnjami v duševnem razvoju v Sloveniji smo raziskali z anketnim vprašalnikom, ki je bil poslan v varstveno delovne centre, centre za usposabljanje, delo in varstvo, domove za starejše in posebne socialno varstvene zavode. V empiričnem delu je uporabljen kvantitativen raziskovalni pristop. Cilj magistrskega dela je prikazati številčnost in značilnosti populacije oseb z motnjami v duševnem razvoju starejših od 55 let, ki so vključeni v storitve varstveno delovnih centrov, centrov za usposabljanje, delo in varstvo, domov za starejše in posebnih socialno varstvenih zavodov. Storitve smo analizirali z vidika prilagojenosti potrebam ciljne populacije, zanimal nas je tudi morebiten obstoj specifičnih programov za starostnike z motnjami v duševnem razvoju. Osredotočili smo se na potrebe po podpori in spremembah obstoječega sistema, kot jih vidijo anketiranci. Ugotovili smo, da institucije opažajo povečane potrebe pri starostniki z motnjami v duševnem razvoju, ki posledično potrebujejo več pomoči in podpore. Pri zagotavljanju se institucije poslužujejo različnih strategij in prilagoditev v okviru programskih, kadrovskih in finančnih zmožnosti. Pri zagotavljanju kvalitetne oskrbe starostnikov z motnjami v duševnem razvoju se soočajo z veliko izzivi in si želijo več podpore s strani pristojnih organov. Anketiranci so podali veliko utemeljenih predlogov za izboljšanje in razvoj oskrbe ciljne populacije pri nas, tako z vidika sistemske in zakonodajne ureditve kot tudi konkretnih idej za oblikovanje storitev ter prilagoditev programov ob zagotovitvi ustreznih kadrovskih, prostorskih in finančnih pogojev.

Secondary title: Care for older people with intellectual disabilities in Slovenia
Secondary abstract: The increasing life expectancy and population ageing are two processes that present a challenge to modern society. This master thesis has focused on the theme of ageing in people with intellectual disabilities, which is a relatively new field of research in Slovenia and has not yet received much attention. Firstly, the general theoretical platform of old age and ageing has been established, because ageing in people with intellectual disabilities progresses in a similar way as in the majority population. Possible care options for the elderly have been described, as well as services or programmes where in Slovenia the institutional option prevails. The issues pertaining to older people with intellectual disabilities are often linked to the divide between accommodating people with intellectual disabilities and accommodating the elderly. The thesis presents a detailed analysis of the elements of the ageing process in people with intellectual disabilities, such as: definition, population size, distinguishable features and special needs, concepts for successful ageing, and services and programmes available in Slovenia and abroad. In order to research the caretaking of ageing people with intellectual disabilities in Slovenia questionnaires were sent to occupational activity centres, training, occupation and care centres, nursing homes, and dedicated social protection institutions. In the empirical part the quantitative research method has been applied. The aim of this master thesis was to determine the population size and distinguishable features of people with intellectual disabilities over 55 years of age who are included in occupational activity centres, training, occupation and care centres, nursing homes, and dedicated social protection institutions. The analysis focused on how much the services are tailored to the target group, as well as the potential existence of dedicated programmes for elderly people with intellectual disabilities. The primary focus was on the need for the support and reform of the existing system as seen by the respondents. The findings show that institutions deal with increasing needs of elderly people with intellectual disabilities, who, due to their condition, need more help and support. Institutions use various strategies and adaptations within the limitations of their programme, staff, and financial resources. In providing quality care for the elderly with intellectual disabilities, institutions face many challenges. This results in their desire for greater support from the state authorities. The respondents put forward many substantiated proposals for improving and developing care for the target population in Slovenia in terms of systemic and legislative arrangements, as well as concrete ideas for the development of services and adaptation of programmes, provided that adequate personnel, living, and financial conditions are met.
