Abstract

Uvod: Staranje prebivalstva predstavlja enega najznačilnejših pojavov sodobne družbe. Večina starejših oseb bi si želela ostati in se starati v domačem okolju, na katero so čustveno navezani. Smiselno preživljanje prostega časa ima blagodejen učinek na zdravje, tako psihično kot fizično, ter aktivno in zdravo staranje starejše osebe. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati, kaj starejšim osebam, ki živijo v domačem okolju, pomeni prosti čas in kako ga preživljajo. Metode dela: Uporabili smo kvalitativno metodo dela. Izvedli smo polstrukturirane intervjuje s petimi starejšimi osebami, ki živijo v domačem okolju v podravski regiji. Podatke smo analizirali s kvalitativno vsebinsko analizo. Rezultati: Iz kvalitativne vsebinske analize smo oblikovali pet kategorij: pomen prostega časa za starejše osebe, doživljanje in preživljanje prostega časa, razlika v prostem času pred upokojitvijo in po njej, ovire in spodbude pri izvajanju prostočasnih aktivnosti in prosti čas starejših oseb v času pandemije COVID-19. Ugotovili smo, da vključenost v prostočasne aktivnosti starejšim osebam prinaša zadovoljstvo in boljše počutje ter na njih deluje blagodejno. V prostem času se vključujejo v kognitivne, telesne, rekreacijske in socialne aktivnosti. Z upokojitvijo so začeli izvajati nove prostočasne aktivnosti in/ali obnovili stare, ki so jih zaradi obsega dela pred upokojitvijo bili primorani prenehati. Na preživljanje prostega časa je imel velik vpliv COVID-19, ki je omejil izvedbo in kraj izvajanja aktivnosti, zaradi česar so starejše osebe več prostočasnih aktivnosti izvajale individualno ter v domačem okolju. Razprava in zaključek: Izvajanje prostočasnih aktivnosti pozitivno vpliva na zdravstveno stanje starejših oseb, saj lahko zmanjša kognitivni upad, izboljša psihofizično kondicijo in njihovo počutje ter posledično zvišuje kakovost življenja. Delovni terapevt starejši osebi predlaga primerno prostočasno aktivnost, ji jo po potrebi prilagodi ali prilagodi izvedbo in okolje izvajanja aktivnosti, s čimer ji omogoči vključevanje v prostočasne aktivnosti kljub morebitnim oviram ali zmanjšanim zmožnostim.

Secondary title: Leisure of older adults in the home environment
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Ageing of the population represents one of the most characteristic phenomena of the modern society. The majority of the older adults would prefer to stay and age in their domestic environment to which they are emotionally attached. Meaningful leisure time has beneficial effect on health, both mentally and physically, and on active and healthy ageing of the older adults. Purpose: The aim of this diploma thesis is to explore the importance of leisure time for the older adults living in their domestic environment and to explore how the older adults spend their leisure time. Methods: This thesis incorporates a qualitative research method for which semi-structured interviews were conducted with five older adults living in their domestic environment in the Podravje Region. Data was analysed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: Based on the qualitative content analysis, five categories were identified: importance of leisure time for the older adults, experiencing and spending of leisure time, difference in how leisure time was spent before and after retirement, obstacles and incentives for the older adults to carry out leisure activities and spend leisure time during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was determined that involvement in leisure activities gives satisfaction to older adults, makes them feel better, and that it has beneficial effects. During leisure time, the older adults engage in cognitive, physical, recreational and social activities. After retirement they started performing new leisure activities and/or resumed old ones, which they were forced to quit before retirement due to the amount of work. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on how leisure time was spent. It limited the place and the performance of leisure activities, which is why older adults carried out more leisure activities individually and in their domestic environment. Discussion and conclusion: Performance of the selected leisure activities have positive effects on the well-being and health of the older adults. They can decrease cognitive decline, improve psychophysical condition and, consequently, improve well-being and increase the quality of their lives. The occupational therapist suggests an appropriate leisure activity to the older adults, adjusts it if necessary, or adjusts its performance or place of its performance in order to allow the older adults to engage in leisure activities despite the potential obstacles or disabilities.
