Socialna opora starostnikov v perspektivi spolov

Abstract

Za kakovostno preživljanje starosti je nujno potrebna zadostna socialna opora. Pri analizi reprezentativnega vzorca starostnikov v Sloveniji (2002) smo z razvrščanjem v skupine opazovali razlike med spoloma. Pri starostnicah smo našli pet skupin, ki se med seboj razlikujejo tako po demografskih značilnostih starostnic (zakonski stan, izobrazba) kot tudi po značilnostih omrežij (velikost omrežja, odstotek sorodnikov, prijateljev in sosedov, število opornih funkcij, odstotek starostnic brez ustreznih neformalnih virov,pogostost uporabe formalnih virov socialne opore). Pri starostnikih so se izoblikovale tri skupine, ki jih razločujejo predvsem značilnosti omrežij (velikost omrežja, usmerjenost k partnerki kot najpomembnejšem viru neformalnesocialne opore, odstotek starostnic brez ustreznih neformalnih virov, pogostost uporabe formalnih virov socialne opore). Opisane razlike med spoloma lahko pripišemo dispozicijskim ali strukturalnim razlogom, nemara pa bi bilo smiselno storitve formalnega sektorja še bolj oblikovati po meri uporabnic in uporabnikov.

Secondary title:	Social support for elderly in gender perspective
Secondary abstract:	Sufficient social support is one of very important factors of ensuring quality of every day life in older population. Differences between women and men were studied on a representative sample of the elderly in Slovenia (2002) using hierarchical and k-means cluster analysis. Five types of social support networks that were found among women have diverse demographic and network characteristics. Only three groups were found among men and they differ by thenetwork characteristics. Other dissimilarities were found between clusters, such as the frequency of formal support providers and the number of elderly without any support providers. Such variety can be attributed to structural or dispositional differences between women and men. However, formal providers of social support should be aware of gender specific support needs.
