Abstract:Problem, ki smo ga raziskovali v doktorski disertaciji, je pojav videnja starosti kot življenjskega obdobja, v katerem življenje izgubi smisel. Namen raziskave je bil prek pričevanja starostnikov, živečih v domovih za stare ljudi, ugotoviti, kako uspešni so stari ljudje pri odkrivanju smisla v starosti. Raziskava je bila usmerjena v odkrivanje zmožnosti starih ljudi za odkrivanje smisla v posameznem trenutku, trpljenju, krivdi in smrti, ki so značilni za življenjsko obdobje starosti. Zaradi ozke usmerjenosti v smisel življenja v starosti smo za teoretično izhodišče, poleg ugotovitev predhodnih raziskav, uporabili tudi logoteorijo, ki se usmerja v človekovo iskanje smisla. V raziskavi so bile uporabljene kvalitativna metoda sekundarne analize podatkov, kvantitativna metoda anketnega raziskovanja in kvalitativna metoda poglobljenih intervjujev. Naša glavna ugotovitev je bila, da stari ljudje v domovih življenje v starosti v veliki meri doživljajo kot smiselno, starost pa je enako ali celo bolj izpolnjena s smislom v primerjavi s preteklimi življenjskimi obdobji. Smisel v starosti se nanaša in išče večinoma skozi doživljajske vrednote oziroma prek doživljanja narave, kulture in umetnosti ter v veliki meri tudi skozi ljubezen do sočloveka. Starost je življenjsko obdobje, ki je na svojevrsten način prežeto s smislom, v veliki meri ravno zaradi neizogibnega trpljenja. Stari ljudje v veliki večini uspešno odkrivajo smisel v življenjskem obdobju starosti ter so v veliki večini tudi srečni in zadovoljni s svojim življenjem. Svoje življenje v prihodnosti vidijo kot smiselno, o prihodnosti pa večinoma ne razmišljajo. Stari ljudje se ne bojijo smrti in jo v veliki večini sprejemajo kot sestavni del in končno dejanje življenja.

Abstract:This doctoral thesis deals with researching the phenomenon of perceiving the old age as a life stage in which people lose the meaning of life. The purpose of the research was to find out through the narration of elderly people living in retirement home, how successful are elderly people in finding the meaning in old age. The thesis focuses on detecting the ability of elderly people to find the meaning in a certain moment, suffer, guilt and death that are typical for this life stage. Due to narrow focus in the meaning of life in old age, the findings of other studies and logo theory have been used as a theoretical basis. Logo theory has been used since it is intent on man's seeking the meaning. There have been the qualitative method of secondary data analysis, the quantitative method of survey research and qualitative method of in-depth surveys used in the research. Our main findings are that elderly people living in retirement homes extensively experience life in old age as meaningful. The old age is as fulfilled in terms of meaning as other periods of life, or even more. The meaning refers to and is being searched for through descriptive values, or through experiencing the nature, the culture and art, and to a great extent also through love for one fellow’s man. The old age is a life period that is full of meaning in a peculiar way, often just because of inevitable suffer. Elderly people mostly find successfully meaning in old age, and are also generally happy and satisfied with their life. They see their life in the future as meaningful, but they usually don’t think about the future itself. Old people are not afraid of death and mostly except it as part and final act of life.
