Zmena kvality života a zdravia seniorov počas pandémie COVID-19. (Slovak)

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the whole world, and many scientific studies have confirmed that it can have negative consequences on the health and quality of life of the population. Objectives: The aim of our study was to point out the changes in the quality of life in the vulnerable population of elderly people (60+) in Slovakia in home and institutional conditions. Methodology: The database is based on the online distribution of a questionnaire among university students of the third age and the direct collection of questionnaires in social facilities and a leisure center (n=436). The database was processed by the IBM SPSS program. Results: In the sample verified by us, there was a worsening of satisfaction with the quality of life and with health during the lockdown, which was significantly different between seniors living at home and in institutional care, but only before the pandemic. Conclusion: Seniors are one of the many vulnerable population groups that have been negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. It is necessary to think about the many negative consequences resulting from anti-pandemic measures in times of crisis in the future, and focus further research on them with the subsequent implementation of protective measures.

Východiská: Pandémia COVID-19 zasiahla celý svet, pričom mnohé vedecké štúdie potvrdili, že môže mať negatívne dôsledky na zdravie a kvalitu života populácie. Ciele: Cieľom našej štúdie bolo poukázať na zmeny kvality života u zraniteľnej populácie starších osôb (60+) na Slovensku v domácich aj inštitucionálnych podmienkach. Metodika: Databáza vychádza z online distribúcie dotazníka u študentov univerzít tretieho veku a priameho zberu dotazníkov v sociálnych zariadeniach a voľnočasovom centre (n=436). Databáza bola spracovávaná programom IBM SPSS. Výsledky: V nami overovanej vzorke došlo ku zhoršeniu spokojnosti s kvalitou života aj so zdravím počas lockdownu, ktoré sa signifikantne líšilo medzi seniormi žijúcimi doma a v inštitucionálnej starostlivosti, avšak iba pred pandémiou. Záver: Seniori sú jednou z mnohých zraniteľných skupín populácie, ktoré boli negatívne ovplyvnené pandémiou koronavírusu a lockdownom. Je nevyhnutné myslieť na mnohoraké negatívne dôsledky vyplývajúce z protipandemických opatrení v krízových časoch v budúcnosti, a zamerať na ne ďalší výskum s následnou implementáciou ochranných opatrení.
