Activities of daily life of people of the third age

“…There is no statistically significant difference, but there are some differences in the sense that a greater number of respondents in urban areas are responsible for taking medication in the right dose at the right time (90:88%), while other options are more often reported by respondents in rural areas. In their research, Štambuk et al studied the use of medications in the elderly, the largest proportion of respondents (26.6%) were responsible for taking medication, and 3.1% of respondents were unable to administer their own therapy (17). The research of Štambuk et al on the issue of responsibility for one's own medications is consistent with the results of our research, that is, respondents are more likely to be able to take responsibility for their own medications.…”

“…According to this study, deinstitutionalisation and provision of various services, which cost less than accommodation in hospitals or retirement homes, represent potential solutions that are also in the best interest of most senior citizens. Furthermore, a recent study in the city of Zagreb on family caregivers of older individuals yielded distressing findings on disregarded needs of older persons and their family caregivers (Štambuk, Rusac & Skokandić, 2019). In the context of care for older individuals, caregivers stress the need for additional assistance from physiotherapists (32%), allowances for assistance and care (29%), assistance and care provision at home (28.1%), one-time allowances (23.9%), home care nurses (22.7%), and the need for an infirmary (18%).…”

“…Naime autori koji se bave problematikom skrbi za starije osobe u Hrvatskoj navode različite poteškoće u ovom području: nepraćenje trendova u skrbi na razini EU-a, nedovoljan broj smještajnih kapaciteta u institucionalnoj skrbi, slabo razvijeni servisi i usluge na razini lokalne zajednice, veliko opterećenje neformalnih njegovatelja bez odgovarajuće podrške, nestandardizacija postojećih usluga i cijena na nacionalnoj razini, nedostupnost mnogih usluga ruralnom stanovništvu itd. (Žganec, Rusac, Laklija, 2008;Puljiz, 2016;Dobrotić, 2016;Bađun, 2017;Štambuk, Rusac, Skokandić, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, a differentiated range of services should exist, which certainly cannot be confirmed in the case of care for older individuals in Croatia. Researchers dealing with the issue of care for older individuals in Croatia mention various difficulties in this area: failing to keep up with trends in care at the level of the European Union, insufficient number of accommodation facilities in institutional care, poorly developed services at the local community level, heavy workload of informal caregivers without adequate support, non-standardisation of existing services and prices at the national level, and unavailability of many services to the rural population (Žganec, Rusac, Laklija, 2008;Puljiz, 2016;Dobrotić, 2016;Bađun, 2017;Štambuk, Rusac, Skokandić, 2019).…”
