Abstract

Izhodišča: Spanje je bistvenega pomena za življenje saj telesu omogoča, da se regenerira in spočije. Tekom staranja pri starostnikih nastopijo različne težave s spanjem, ki lahko tudi močno vplivajo na kakovost življenja. Namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti težave s spanjem, ki se pojavljajo pri starostnikih v domovih starejših občanov. Raziskovalna metodologija: Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji dela. Uporabili smo presečno opisno raziskavo z metodo anketiranja. Anketni vprašalnik je zajemal vprašanja zaprtega in odprtega tipa ter vprašanja z mersko lestvico. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 62 starostnikov starih nad 65 let. Rezultati raziskave: V raziskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je samoocena kakovosti spanja med starostniki dobra saj je kar 64 % starostnikov ocenilo spanje kot zelo dobro ali dobro. Težave, ki jih starostniki navajajo so, da potrebujejo več kot 30 minut, da zaspijo, da se zbujajo ponoči oziroma zgodaj zjutraj. Pogosta težava je tudi, da se zbujajo zaradi uporabe stranišča (71 %). Sklep: Večina starostnikov ima določene težave s spanjem. Zelo pomembno pa je, da te težave pravočasno odkrijemo ter poiščemo tudi vzroke, saj s tem lahko pomagamo starostniku in hkrati pripomoremo k višji kakovosti življenja v starosti.

Secondary abstract:	Introduction: Sleep is of essential importance for life, for it allows the body to regenerate and rest. During the aging process the elderly experience various sleep related issues, which can severely affect their quality of life. The purpose of this thesis is to present sleep related issues which can present themselves in the elderly in nursing home. Research methodology: The research was based on the quantitative method. We have used transverse descriptive research with the questionnaire method. The questionnaire encompassed questions of both closed and open types. Questions including an evaluatory scale were used as well. 62 elderly people aged over 65 participated. Results: The research found the elderly self-evaluate their quality of sleep as good. Over 64% of the participants evaluated their sleep quality as very good or good. The issues participants report are that they require more than 30 minutes to fall asleep, that they wake during the night or early in the morning. A frequently reported issue is also that they wake for use of the bathroom (71%). Conclusion: Almost every elderly person has some sleep related issues. It is very important that we identify these issues early on and find their underlying causes, for in doing so we can help the person and aid in elevating the quality of life in old age
