Where to live in the ageing period: own home or elderly home |
Secondary abstract: |
The ageing period brings different changes and new tasks an older person has to face on personal as well as on social level. Age is a life period we all want to await but on the other side we are a bit afraid of it. In our modern society the ageing period is still a bit taboo even if the lifespan is longer and number of older people is on the increase all over the world. But the question where to live in the ageing period or how to live is still unaswered. It is the question that bothers me as well so I decided to interview four elderly persons, two of them live in the elderly home, whereas the other two live at their own home. The interview consisted of questions covering 9 different areas in order to get the difference between their life experience. We are aware of the fact that life at home is different from life in an elderly home.
The results show that these four people being interviewed are in medium good or quite good condition (based on arithmetic average). All four had the same answer concerning the place where they wanted to be in the ageing period. At their own home of course. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Obdobje starosti prinese različne spremembe in nove naloge, s katerimi se mora starejši človek spopasti tako na osebnem kot družbenem področju. Starost je življenjsko obdobje, ki si ga verjetno po tihem želimo vsi dočakati, a se ga tudi bojimo. V današnji družbi, kljub vedno daljši življenjski dobi in velikemu porastu starejšega prebivalstva po vsem svetu, ostaja obdobje starosti še vedno tabuiran. Vprašanje, kje preživeti starost in predvsem kako jo preživeti, pa ostaja odprto marsikomu. Zaradi tega vprašanja, ki se včasih poraja tudi v moji glavi, sem se odločila, da v empiričnem delu svojega diplomskega dela predstavim življenje 4 starostnikov, dveh iz domačega okolja in dveh iz doma za starejše občane. Pri tem sem se opirala na kvalitativno raziskavo in v ta namen sestavila intervju, razdeljen na 9 področij, na podlagi katerih sem želela oceniti življenjsko stanje izbranega starostnika tako v domačem okolju kot v domu za starejše občane.
Analiza vsebine odgovorov je pokazala, da imajo izbrani starostniki srednje dobro in pretežno dobro življenjsko stanje (glede na izračunano aritmetično sredino ocenjene vsebine odgovorov). Na vprašanje, kje bi raje preživeli starost, pa vsi štirje odgovorijo v domačem okolju. |
