Abstract

Starejši odrasli so heterogena skupina, med katerimi so tudi LGBTQ+ osebe, ki se soočajo z dodatnimi izzivi zaradi družbenih norm, kot so diskriminacija, stigma, homo-, bi- ali transfobija, kar vpliva na njihovo zmožnost uspešnega staranja, na njihovo zadovoljstvo z življenjem in na subjektivno blaginjo. Doktorska disertacija temelji na teoriji uspešnega staranja Rowa in Kahna (1997), ki pravita, da so fizično (telesno) in duševno zdravje ter socialna mreža dejavniki uspešnega staranja. Teorijo uspešnega staranja smo nadgradili z dodatnima dejavnikoma – integrirano zdravstveno in socialno oskrbo ter bivanjskim okoljem. V disertaciji odgovarjamo na temeljno znanstvenoraziskovalno vprašanje, ali dejavniki uspešnega staranja vplivajo na zadovoljstvo z življenjem in na subjektivno blaginjo pri LGBTQ+ starejših odraslih. Pri tem smo zasnovali mavrični model zagotavljanja zadovoljstva z življenjem in subjektivne blaginje. Razvili in validirali smo novo mersko lestvico uspešnega staranja LGBTQ+ starejših odraslih, imenovano mavrična lestvica uspešnega staranja – R-SAS. Potrjujemo vpliv dejavnikov uspešnega staranja – fizičnega in duševnega zdravja, socialne mreže in bivanjskega okolja na zadovoljstvo z življenjem, kakor tudi vpliv zadovoljstva z življenjem na subjektivno blaginjo pri LGBTQ+ starejših odraslih. Vpliva integrirane socialne in zdravstvene oskrbe kot dejavnika uspešnega staranja na zadovoljstvo z življenjem nismo potrdili. Družba kot celota in socialna gerontologija kot veda s specialnimi znanji na področju staranja se morata s skupnimi močmi zavzemati za uspešno staranje vseh ljudi, neglede na spolno usmerjenost, spolno identiteto, spolni izraz ali kakšne druge človekove fenotipske značilnosti.

Secondary abstract: Older adults are a heterogeneous group, including LGBTQ+ individuals who face additional challenges due to societal norms such as discrimination, stigma, homophobia, biphobia, or transphobia. These challenges impact their ability to age successfully, their life satisfaction, and their subjective well-being. The doctoral dissertation is based on Rowe and Kahn's theory of successful ageing (1997), which states that physical and mental health and the social network are factors in successful ageing. We upgraded the theory of successful ageing with two additional factors - integrated care and living environment. The dissertation answers the fundamental scientific research question of whether the factors of successful ageing affect life satisfaction and subjective well-being in LGBTQ+ older adults. In doing so, we designed a rainbow model of ensuring satisfaction with life and subjective well-being. We developed and validated a new measurement scale of successful ageing of LGBTQ+ older adults called the Rainbow Successful Ageing Scale - R-SAS. We confirm the influence of the factors of successful ageing – physical and mental health, social network and living environment on life satisfaction, as well as the influence of life satisfaction on subjective well-being in LGBTQ+ older adults. We did not confirm the impact of integrated care as a factor of successful ageing on life satisfaction. Society as a whole and social gerontology as a science with special knowledge in the field of ageing must work together for the successful ageing of all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or any other human phenotypic characteristics.
