Abstract

V zadnjem desetletju se vedno bolj promovira zdrav način življenja, ki je predpogoj za daljše in kakovostno življenje. V številnih raziskavah so dokazali, da nezdrav način življenja privede do razvoja številnih kroničnih bolezni. Bolezni srca in ožilja predstavljajo v sodobnem času velik problem za človeka. Zdravstvene težave, ki se kot posledica slabih življenjskih navad začnejo pojavljati ali stopnjevati v starosti, so tesno povezane tudi z zdravim načinom življenja, dobrimi medosebnimi odnosi, s podporo bližnjih in sposobnostjo za samostojno življenje. Veliko bolezni se razvije že v srednjih letih, v starosti se poslabšajo in onemogočajo kakovostno življenje. Za krepitev zdravja v starosti je ključnega pomena opustitev slabih navad, saj je cilj zdravega staranja ohranitev telesne in družbene aktivnosti, samostojnosti, neodvisnosti od tuje pomoči in kakovost življenja na najvišji možni ravni glede na sočasne bolezni in stanja. V okviru empiričnega dela smo izvedli kvalitativno raziskavo na podlagi študije primera starostnika s kroničnimi obolenji in ugotavljali vplive njegovih življenjskih navad na zdravstvene težave v starosti. Uporabili smo teoretični model Virginie Henderson in izpostavili nekatere od 14 osnovnih življenjskih aktivnosti. Podatke smo zbrali z metodo intervjuja s starostnikom. Poudarili smo vlogo medicinske sestre pri starostniku s kroničnimi obolenji, saj le ta obsega individualni pristop v prizadevanju za izboljšanje zdravja in zagotavljanju kakovosti življenja na najvišji možni ravni glede na omejitve. Medicinska sestra mora obvladati veščine s katerimi starostnike motivira za spremembe življenjskega sloga in jim nudi pomoč in podporo. Zdrava varovalna prehrana, redukcija soli in maščob v prehrani, opustitev alkohola in redna telesna dejavnost so temeljna dejstva za ohranjanje zdravja in imajo ugoden vpliv na psihofizično počutje posameznika v starosti.

Secondary title: The Influence of Poor Lifestyle Habits on Health Problems in Old Age
Secondary abstract: In the last decade a healthy way of living is increasingly being promoted since it is a precondition for a longer and quality life. In numerous researches it has been proven that unhealthy way of living leads to numerous chronic illnesses. Heart and vascular diseases present a serious problem to the humans living in the modern times. Health problems, which occur as a consequence of bad living habits and start occurring and increasing with old age, are closely linked to a healthy way of living, good relations with people, support of the closest relatives and friends and the ability to lead independent life. Many illnesses develop already when people are middle aged and deteriorate as they grow older and these illnesses deteriorate the quality of a person’s life. In order to improve their health in old age, people need to abandon bad habits as the objective of healthy ageing is maintaining one’s physical and social activities, independence, and also the quality of life at the highest possible level according to simultaneous illnesses and conditions. In the empirical part of the thesis we have executed a qualitative research on the basis of a case study of an elderly person with chronic illnesses, and studied how his life habits influenced his health problems in old age. We have used the theoretical model of Virginia Henderson and concentrated on some of the 14 basic life activities. The data have been acquired with the method of interviewing the study case. We have stressed the role of a nurse in the life of an elderly person with chronic illnesses, since this enables individual approach in striving towards improving a person's health and ensuring the quality of their life at the highest possible level, according to the limitations. A nurse needs to be well familiar with the skills, namely how to motivate the elderly people for changing their lifestyle, and offer them support and help. Healthy protective diet, salt and fats reduction in the diet, giving up alcohol and regular exercise are the basic facts one needs to obey in order to preserve their health. These factors also have a favourable influence to an individual’s psychophysical state of health in old age.
