Abstract:Izhodišča: Duševna obolenja pri starostnikih so zaradi številnih dejavnikov pogosto spregledana, kar vodi v neustrezno obravnavo. Medicinske sestre imajo pri tem ključno vlogo, saj prepoznavajo spremembe duševnega zdravja, nudijo celostno kakovostno obravnavo in zagotavljajo psihofizično podporo. Opredelitev problema naloge poudarja problematiko časovne in kadrovske stiske, pomanjkanje specifičnega znanja medicinskih sester in bolj enotnih pristopov pri obravnavi starostnikov z duševnimi obolenji v institucionalnem okolju. Namen raziskave je preučiti vlogo medicinskih sester pri obravnavi starostnikov z duševnimi obolenji v institucionalnem okolju. Metoda: Uporabili smo kvalitativni raziskovalni pristop in deskriptivno metodo dela. Primarne podatke smo pridobili s polstrukturiranim intervjujem. Vzorec je vključeval devet medicinskih sester, zaposlenih v enem izmed ljubljanskih domov starejših občanov. Rezultati: Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je vloga medicinskih sester pri obravnavi starostnikov z duševnimi obolenji raznovrstna in zahtevna. Poleg zagotavljanja fizičnih potreb morajo medicinske sestre poskrbeti tudi za duševno plat obravnave, kar zahteva individualni pristop, ustrezno komunikacijo, čustveno podporo, prepoznavanje sprememb v vedenju in čustvovanju ter spodbujanje samostojnosti. Ključni izzivi, s katerimi se medicinske sestre srečujejo, so pomanjkanje časa in kadra, neustrezna prostorska ureditev, pomanjkanje specifičnega znanja ter omejeno sodelovanje z drugimi strokovnjaki. Razprava: Rezultati potrjujejo, da imajo medicinske sestre ključno vlogo pri zagotavljanju kakovostne obravnave starostnikov z duševnimi obolenji, vendar se pri tem soočajo s številnimi izzivi. Potrebno je dodatno izobraževanje, iskanje rešitev glede kadrovskih in časovnih stisk, krepitev čustvene podpore zaposlenim ter boljše interdisciplinarno sodelovanje. Za izboljšanje kakovosti obravnave je pomembno tudi večje ozaveščanje o duševnem zdravju starostnikov, kar lahko prispeva k hitrejšemu prepoznavanju težav in učinkovitejši obravnavi.

Title:THE ROLE OF NURSES IN THE CARE OF ELDERLY PATIENTS WITH MENTAL DISORDERS
Abstract:Background: Mental disorders in older adults are often overlooked due to a variety of factors, leading to inadequate treatment and care. Nurses play a crucial role in this context, as they are responsible for recognising changes in mental health, providing holistic and high-quality care, and ensuring both physical and psychological support. The conducted research highlights issues such as time and staffing shortages, a lack of specialised knowledge among nurses, and the need for more standardised approaches to caring for older adults with mental disorders in institutional settings. The purpose of the study is to examine the role of nurses in the care of older adults with mental disorders in institutional care environments. Method: We used a qualitative research approach and a desriptive method. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The sample included nine nurses employed at one of the nursing homes for older adults in Ljubljana. Results: It was found that the role of nurses in caring for older adults with mental disorders is diverse and demanding. In addition to meeting physical needs, nurses must also address the psychological aspects of care, which requires an individualised approach, effective communication, emotional support, recognition of changes in behaviour and emotions, and the promotion of independence. The key challenges faced by nurses include time and staff shortages, inadequate spatial arrangements, lack of specialised knowledge, and limited collaboration with other professionals. Discussion: The results confirm that nurses play a crucial role in providing quality care for older adults with mental disorders, yet they face numerous challenges. Additional education is needed, along with finding solutions to staffing and time constraints, strengthening emotional support for staff, and improving interdisciplinary collaboration. Increasing awareness of mental health among older adults is also important, as it can contribute to earlier recognition of problems and more effective care.
