  • Arhitektonske ovire in uporaba tehničnih pripomočkov v bivalnem okolju starostnika = Physical barriers and the use of assistive devices in senior citizens' everyday life
    Berčan, Mateja, 1963- ...
    Introduction: The ratio of the elderly population in Slovenia is relatively high and the number of citizens over eighty years old has been increasing. Thepresent paper explores the physical barriers ... in the indoor and outdoor environment of the elderly and the use of assistive devices enhancing the safety, autonomy and quality of their lives. Senior citizens prefer to live athome, within the familiar environment and the established social networks. The quality of life in the old age is, however, oftentimes impaired by the physical barriers within their environment. The safety and independent self care at home should at times be supported by the daily living aids and assistive devices. Methods: In 2009, a qualitative research was conducted in the municipality of Ig. The data were collected through a survey questionnairewith partially structured questions. The respondents were asked to sign the research participation consent form and their anonymity was guaranteed. The questions could be answered orally or in writing. The researchsample consisted of 80 participants, divided into three age groups: 65to 70 age group (45 respondents), 71 to 75 age group (28 respondents), 76 to80 age group (7 respondents). The standard deviation was applied in the statistical analysis and presentation of the data collected. Results: The research findings show that 95 % of the respondents are not willing to relocate to assisted living facilities (e.g. nursing home). 89 % of the respondents consider their home environment adequate to meet the challenges ofthe old age. However, the age-related problems often necessitate the use of assistive devices to secure safety, autonomy and independent living of the elderly, especially the availability of telephone communication (landline, 100%) and the assistive devices for people with movement disorders (walking canes, 27 %).
