Starost i starenje u zrcalu duhovnosti

Ana Štambuk

Abstract: U radu je prikazana duhovnost kao područje koje sve više zauzima prostor u radu sa starijim osobama kako u zdravstvenoj tako i socijalnoj skrbi. U teorijama starenja rijetko se spominje duhovno i duhovnost. U teoriji psihosocijalnog razvoja duhovnost se može prepoznati u devetoj fazi, odnosno fazi gerotranscendencije. Prihvaćanje vlastite nemoći ili ovisnosti može biti izvor rasta, odnosno prilika za razvijanje duhovnih kvaliteta (strpljenja, zahvalnosti, užitka u malim stvarima, zadovoljstva što postojim i ži… Show more

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of self-care on the prevalence of loneliness among elderly people living in retirement homes and older people living in their homes/communities. Design/methodology/approach The research was conducted through standardized SELSA-L assessment loneliness questionnaires and the Self Care Assessment Worksheet for self-care assessment. The results were processed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Findings The obtained results have shown that impaired self-care ability affects the prevalence of loneliness among the elderly almost the same in both groups of participants. However, regarding the relationship between the state of health and self-care, only a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of loneliness is found in the case of the participants living in their homes, with the worst health condition affecting the poorer psychological care. Research limitations/implications It is necessary to point out the limitations of the research, primarily sample limitations and the selected design of the study. The sample consisted of two different and relatively small groups of participants which could adversely affect the representativeness of the sample and reduce the possibility of generalising the results. The next limiting factor is the age distribution the authors used in the research, where the age of the participants as a very important variable was collected by age range and not precisely which consequently resulted in inequality in subgroup sizes. Thus, the middle age (75–85) covers up to ten years, which is a huge range at an older age and can mean major differences in functional ability, and can impact the self-care assessment. Practical implications Nurses are indispensable in care for the elderly and they need to promote and encourage self-care of the elderly through health care. Elderly people living in retirement homes should be allowed to participate equally in health care in order to preserve their own autonomy and dignity. However, to benefit those who live in their homes, nurses should be connected to the local community and thus stimulate various forms of preventative (testing blood sugar levels, blood pressure and educating on the importance of preventive examinations) or recreational activities in the environment of elderly people with the goal of preserving their functional abilities. Originality/value The impact of self-care on loneliness was not sufficiently researched, and this paper contributed to understanding the complexity of loneliness phenomena among the elderly with the aim of developing a model of prevention.

Adult education is an important part of the life of every individual and community because the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies ensures the progress of society. Every state that strives for the development and creation of a knowledge society is aware of the importance of providing educational opportunities for people at all periods of human life. Croatia has long recognized the importance of adult education in the concept of lifelong learning. Following that, qualitative research was conducted to examine the opinions of 154 students of the teacher's module on adult education. Among other things, answers were given to questions related to student notions of adult education, the importance, and functions of adult education, the role of educators in adult education, the position and prospects of adult education in Croatia. Although it was expected that students-future professors will express positive opinions, perceptions, and expectations related to adult education, some of the students' answers are quite indicative and suggest that teacher education programs should certainly include content that deals with adult education to academic citizens became fully aware of its importance and acquired certain competencies for working with adults.
