Uvod: Eden od dejavnikov kakovosti življenja starejših v socialnovarstvenem zavodu je prehrana. Namen raziskave je bil proučiti prehransko stanje in ponuditi predloge za izboljšanje prehrane ...starejših v socialnovarstvenem zavodu. Metode: V raziskavi je bila uporabljena kvantitativna opisna metoda raziskovanja. Analizirani so bili dnevni jedilniki v socialnovarstvenem zavodu in na vzorcu starejših (n = 48) izvedena analizo dejanskega vnosa hranil in prehranskega statusa. Prehransko stanje je bilo ugotovljeno na podlagi indeksa telesne mase in vprašalnika Mini prehranski pregled. Vključeni v raziskavo so imeli prehrano, pri kateri dietne prilagoditve niso bile potrebne. Rezultati: Povprečna energijska vrednost ponujenih jedilnikov je znašala 8457 kJ (2021 kcal) na dan, 17 hranil je odstopalo od priporočil. Moški (M) in ženske (Ž) se statistično pomembno razlikujejo v deležu ostanka maščob (μM = 16 %, μŽ = 24 %; p = 0,036), holesterola (μM = 15 %, μŽ = 26 %; p = 0,035), vitamina D (μM = 15 %, μŽ = 27 %; p = 0,017) in vitamina B12 (μM = 17 %, μŽ = 25 %; p = 0,016). Indeks telesne mase je pokazal, da nihče od starejših, ki so bili vključeni v raziskavo, ni bil podhranjen ali v kategoriji debelost III. stopnje. Diskusija in zaključek: Raziskava je potrdila potrebo po sistematičnem spremljanju kakovosti prehrane starejših v socialnovarstvenih zavodih. Da bi starejšim zagotovili ustrezno prehransko oskrbo, je potrebno sodelovanje medpoklicnega tima s starejšimi in njihovimi družinskimi člani.
Today’s male dominance means migrant women are often overlooked in studies on migration. Cultural influences, socio-economic status and gender inequalities are strong predictors of health and ...health-related behaviour among migrant women; however, the existing models of women’s health and care often overlook these predictors. The purpose of this study was to explore migrant women’s experiences and perceptions about the impact of culture and social integration on their health and health-related behaviour in the host country. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted among ten hospital-admitted migrant women in Slovenia. The data were collected using semi-structured, one-to-one interviews. Two themes emerged from the analysis: (1) cultural values, beliefs and practices; and (2) social integration. For the majority of women in the study, migration has had a positive effect on their perceived physical and mental health. Some women have clearly become more empowered, moving them away from traditional norms and roles defined by patriarchy. Language barriers and social isolation increase the likelihood of health disparities, requiring these issues to be addressed in the future.
