Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je utvrditi koji su psihosocijalni čimbenici povezani s kognitivnim statusom starijih osoba. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 139 osoba, od toga 109 sudionika ženskog spola i 30 sudionika muškog spola, raspona dobi 68-100 godina. Svi sudionici smješteni su domove za starije i nemoćne u gradu Zagrebu. Izmjerene varijable bile su: sociodemografske, psihosocijalne: socijalna podrška, socijalna participacija i samoprocjena zdravlja te kognitivni status. Sudionici su ispitani putem strukturiranog intervjua, u ustanovi u kojoj stanuju. Varijabla koja se pokazala značajno povezana s kognitivnim statusom bila je socijalna participacija. Viša razina socijalne aktivnosti pozitivno djeluje na očuvanje kognitivnog statusa. Otkrivanje čimbenika koji doprinose očuvanju, ali i smanjenju kognitivnog statusa od velike je važnosti za poboljšanje kvalitete života starijih ljudi.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to identify psychosocial predictors of cognitive functions in old institutionalized participants. Participants were 139 residents of retirement homes in Zagreb, Croatia (109 female and 30 male; aged 68–100). Variables measured were: sociodemographics, some psychosocial variables: social support, social participation, self-perceived health and cognitive functioning. In this research, structured interviews were conducted at retirement homes where participants lived. A variable significantly correlated with cognitive functions was social participation. Studying factors that improve and factors that reduce cognitive functions is essential for improving the quality of older person's life.
