Abstract

Izhodišča: V diplomskem delu smo predstavili kofein in njegov vpliv na počutje starostnikov. Raziskovali smo pozitivne in negativne učinke kofeina. Kava in drugi izdelki, ki vsebujejo kofein, so dandanes zelo priljubljeni. Metode: Raziskava, ki smo jo izvedli, vsebuje dva dela. Prvi del raziskave smo opravili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika med tridesetimi starostniki iz Doma starejših občanov Gornja Radgona. Vprašalnik je bil sestavljen na podlagi kvantitativne metodologije raziskovanja; vseboval je 17 vprašanj zaprtega in polodprtega tipa. Drugi del raziskave smo izvedli v laboratoriju Fakultete za zdravstvene vede v Mariboru. Raziskava je vključevala določevanje kofeina v izbranih izdelkih, ki so omenjeni v vprašalniku z ekstrakcijo, tankoplastno kromatografijo in spektrofotometrijo. Ocenjevali smo vidnost kofeinskih madežev pod UV-žarnico. Rezultati: Rezultati so pokazali, da se starostniki zavedajo pozitivnih vplivov na počutje in jih tudi občutijo. Prav tako so že občutili negativne učinke, če so popili preveliko količino kave ali drugih izdelkov, ki vsebujejo kofein. Upoštevati moramo dejstvo, da je vsak starostnik individualna oseba. Diskusija in zaključki: Ugotovili smo, da vsak starostnik doživlja pozitivne učinke kofeina na svoj način, prav tako tudi negativne. Kljub negativnim učinkom pijejo kofeinske izdelke, saj današnji način življenja vse bolj vključuje pitje kave in drugih izdelkov, ki vsebujejo kofein.

Secondary title:	THE EFFECT OF CAFFEINE ON WELL-BEING OF THE ELDERLY
Secondary abstract:	Introduction: In the thesis we presented caffeine and its effect on elderly people. Positive and negative effects of caffeine were researched. Coffee and other products which contain caffeine are nowadays very popular. Methods: The research consisted of two parts. The first part of the research was performed through a questionnaire among thirty residents in the Home for the elderly Gornja Radgona. The questionnaire was based on quantitative research methodology; it contained 17 closed and semi-opened questions. The second part of the research was carried out in the laboratory of the Faculty of Health in Maribor. The research included the determination of caffeine products, which were mentioned in the questionnaire using extraction, thin layer chromatography and spectrophotometry. The visibility of caffeinated stains under UV lamp was evaluated. Results: The results showed that the elderly people are aware of and feel the positive effects of caffeine. They have already experienced the negative effects after drinking excessive amounts of coffee or other products containing caffeine. We must consider the fact that each participant is an individual. Discussion and conclusions: We found out that participants experienced the positive effects of caffeine as well as the negative. However, they drink products which contain caffeine despite experiencing its negative effects. Today's way of life increasingly includes drinking coffee and other products that contain caffeine.
