20.500.12556/ReVIS-14317 STALIŠČA ZDRAVSTVENIH DELAVCEV DO PALIATIVNE OSKRBE STAROSTNIKOV HEALTHCARE PROFFESIONALS ATTITUDES TOWARD PALLIATIVE CARE FOR THE ELDERLY Paliativna oskrba je pomemben del celostne obravnave starostnikov, zlasti pri osebah z napredovalo, neozdravljivo boleznijo ali ob koncu življenja. Kakovost izvajanja paliativne oskrbe je tesno povezana z znanjem, s stališči, komunikacijskimi veščinami in timskim sodelovanjem zdravstvenih delavcev. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti stališča zdravstvenih delavcev do paliativne oskrbe starostnikov. Uporabili smo kvantitativni raziskovalni pristop z deskriptivno metodo dela. Podatki so bili zbrani z anonimnim spletnim anketnim vprašalnikom. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 100 zdravstvenih delavcev, ki se pri svojem delu srečujejo s starostniki v paliativni oskrbi. Podatki so bili analizirani z metodami deskriptivne statistike, pri čemer so bile uporabljene frekvence, odstotki in povprečne vrednosti. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da se anketiranci pogosto srečujejo s starostniki v paliativni oskrbi, pri čemer je 63 % anketirancev navedlo, da za starostnike v paliativni oskrbi skrbijo zelo pogosto. Svoje znanje in usposobljenost na področju paliativne oskrbe je kot dobro oziroma visoko ocenilo 31 % anketirancev. Kompetence pri obvladovanju simptomov so bile ocenjene najvišje (M = 4,7), medtem ko so anketiranci kot večje izzive izpostavili komunikacijo o smrti (M = 4,0), soočanje s čustveno zahtevnimi situacijami (M = 4,1) ter organizacijo dela in podporo vodstva (M = 3,4). Kot najpomembnejša področja za izboljšanje so anketiranci najpogosteje izpostavili potrebo po dodatnem izobraževanju (82 %) in boljšem timskem sodelovanju (82 %), sledili pa so dostop do strokovnih smernic (67 %) ter večja psihološka podpora zaposlenim (61 %).Ugotovitve kažejo, da imajo zdravstveni delavci pretežno pozitivna stališča do paliativne oskrbe starostnikov, vendar hkrati prepoznavajo potrebo po dodatnem strokovnem izpopolnjevanju in boljši organizacijski podpori. Za nadaljnji razvoj kakovostne paliativne oskrbe so ključni sistematično izobraževanje, krepitev komunikacijskih veščin, učinkovito timsko sodelovanje in ustrezna podpora zaposlenim. Rezultati raziskave lahko predstavljajo izhodišče za izboljšanje prakse paliativne oskrbe starostnikov. Palliative care is an important part of comprehensive care for older adults, particularly for individuals with advanced, incurable illness or those at the end of life. The quality of palliative care is closely related to healthcare professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, communication skills, and teamwork. A quantitative research approach with a descriptive method was used in the thesis. Data were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire. The study included 100 healthcare professionals who encounter older adults in palliative care in their work. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies, percentages, and mean values.The results of the study showed that respondents frequently encounter older adults receiving palliative care, with 63% reporting that they provide care for such patients very frequently. A total of 31% of respondents rated their knowledge and competence in the field of palliative care as good or high. Competencies related to symptom management received the highest rating (M = 4.7), while respondents identified communication about death (M = 4.0), coping with emotionally demanding situations (M = 4.1), and work organization and management support (M = 3.4) as more challenging areas. The respondents most frequently highlighted the need for additional education (82%) and improved teamwork (82%) as key areas for improvement, followed by better access to professional guidelines (67%) and increased psychological support for employees (61%). The findings indicate that healthcare professionals generally have positive attitudes toward palliative care for older adults, but they also recognize the need for further professional training and stronger organizational support. Systematic education, strengthening communication skills, effective teamwork, and appropriate support for employees are essential for the further development of high-quality palliative care. The results of this study may serve as a basis for improving palliative care practice for older adults. paliativna oskrba starostniki zdravstveni delavci stališča izobraževanje timsko sodelovanje. palliative care older adults healthcare professionals attitudes education teamwork. true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Diplomsko delo/naloga 2026-07-18 18:14:52 2026-07-18 18:14:53 2026-07-19 03:11:10 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 25245 4450$$kornelija_gel_diplomska_naloga_29.6.2026._(1).pdf 4450$$kornelija_gel_diplomska_naloga_29.6.2026._(1).pdf 1 ECD215FA5DFCF98DA952D7F1AAE4C423 9e80be9a2fcbe47a369b3f58d6905a0dc535f3f085e597dbd0b94145a8d00550 cf24d4e2-82c3-11f1-a19f-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=17359 Univerza v Novem mestu - Fakulteta za zdravstvene vede 0 0 0
