Abstract

Uvod: Staranje je fiziološki proces. Ena izmed bolezni starejših je tudi demenca. Demenca kot bolezensko stanje ne prizadene samo osebe, ampak tudi njene bližnje. Za osebe z demenco je pomembna dolgotrajna oskrba, saj bolezen napreduje in stanje posameznika se bo le slabšalo. Pri tem ne smemo pozabiti na oskrbovalca in njegovo fizično in psihično počutje. Nevarno je, da v pretirani skrbi za osebo z demenco pozabi nase in se tako fizično kot psihično iztroši. Oskrbovalci potrebujejo predvsem psihično podporo, informacije o bolezni ter pomoč v oblik druženja. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je opredeliti potrebe ljudi z demenco, poiskati intervencije, ki spodbujajo samostojnost oseb z demenco, ter opredeliti težave, s katerimi se najposteje srečujejo laični oskrbovalci oseb z demenco. Metode dela: Pri diplomskem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. Narejen je bil pregled znanstvenih člankov. Članke smo iskali v podatkovnih bazah: CINAHL full text, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect ter COBIB; pomagali smo si tudi s pregledom referenc v najdenih člankih. V analizo smo vključili 18 virov literature. Rezultati: Oskrba oseb z demenco je nenehno speminjajoč se proces, zato smo v rezultatih opisali intervencije, s katerimi opolnomočimo osebe z demenco za čim daljše samostojno življenje v domačem okolju. Ker se z napredovanjem bolezni stanje oseb le slabša, so v oskrbo vključeni večinoma najbližji, tako imenovani laični oskrbovalci. Pomembno jih je informirati o bolezni in njenih posledicah ter jih opolnomočiti za oskrbo osebe z demenco. Storitve, namenjene laičnim oskrbovalcem, so večinoma usmerjene v dajanje podpore in pomoči pri izvajanju vsakodnevne oskrbe osebe z demenco ter podpore pri iskanju ravnovesja med vlogo oskrbovalca in lastnimi potrebami. Razprava in zaključek: Dolgotrajna oskrba oseb z demenco je v Sloveniji slabše razvita. Slovenija zaostaja za drugimi evropskimi državami pri izvajanju storitev dolgotrajne oskrbe, še manj je napredka na področju oskrbe oseb z demenco in podpore njihovim laičnim oskrbovalcem. Novosti prinaša šele sprejeti Zakon o dolgotrajni oskrbi. Sprejeti zakon predstavlja pravno podlago, da bodo upravičenci s primerljivimi potrebami lahko dostopali do primerljivih pravic ter imeli možnost izbire.

Secondary title: Long-term care of people with dementia in the home environment
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Ageing is a physiological process. One of the diseases of the elderly is dementia. Dementia as a medical condition affects not only the person, but also his or her loved ones. Long-term care is important for people with dementia, as the disease progresses and the person's condition will only get worse. This should not forget the carer and their physical and mental well-being. It is dangerous to forget oneself in the midst of excessive care, and to become physically and mentally exhausted. Carers need psychological support, information about the illness and help with socialising. Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to identify the needs of people with dementia, to identify interventions that promote independence of people with dementia and to identify the problems most frequently encountered by lay carers of people with dementia. Methods. We used the descriptive method in our diploma thesis, which involved a review of scientific articles. We searched for articles in CINAHL full text, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect and COBIB bibliographic databases; we also checked the references of the articles we found. The analysis included 18 sources of literature. Results: Because dementia care is an ongoing process, we described interventions to empower people with dementia to live independently in their home environment for as long as possible. As the condition of the person only worsens as the disease progresses, the caregivers are mainly those closest to the person, the so-called caregivers. It is important to inform them about the disease and its consequences and to empower them to care for the person with dementia. The services for caregivers are mainly oriented towards providing support and assistance in the daily care of the person with dementia, and support in balancing the role of caregiver with their own needs. Discussion and conclusion: Long-term care for people with dementia is underdeveloped in Slovenia. Slovenia is behind other European countries in the development of long-term care services, and there has been even less progress in the care of people with dementia and support for their caregivers. New developments have only just been introduced by the adoption of the Long-Term Care Act. The law provides a legal basis for beneficiaries with similar needs to have access to similar rights and choices.
