Santrauka:

Ilgėjanti gyvenimo trukmė nėra tik džiuginantis reiškinys. Pivorienės (2004) teigimu, ilgėjant žmonių gyvenimo trukmei daugėja ir senų žmonių skaičius, dėl ko gali daugėti ir su senų asmenų priežiūra susijusių problemų. Aplinkoje vyrauja nuomonė, jog rūpintis savimi negalinčiu pasirūpinti asmeniu, turėtų jo artimieji. Tai patvirtina 2015 - 2016 m. UAB „Baltijos tyrimai“ atliktas tyrimas, kuris atskleidė, jog Lietuvos gyventojai iškilus globos poreikiui senatvėje, prioritetu laiko artimųjų teikiamą globą (Lietuvos socialinių tyrimų centas, 2017). Artimieji, apsisprendę namuose globoti senyvo amžiaus asmenį, susiduria su įvairiais sunkumais, lemiančiais globėjo socialinio ir psichologinio funkcionavimo sutrikimus.

Description:

Relevance of the topic: Increasing life expectancy is not only a positive phenomenon. According to Pivoriene (2004), an increase in the life expectancy means the growth in the number of elderly people, which may result in problems related to the care of old people. There is an opinion in the society that persons unable to take care of themselves should be cared for by their relatives. This is confirmed by the survey carried out in 2015 – 2016 by UAB Baltijos Tyrimai, which revealed that the residents of Lithuania, in the event of a need for care in old age, give preference to the care provided by their relatives (Lithuanian Social Research Centre, 2017). Relatives, who decide to take care of an elderly person at home, face a variety of difficulties that determine the social and psychological functioning disorders of the carer. Purpose of work: To determine the need for the activities of a social worker in addressing the psychosocial problems of relatives taking care of the elderly at home. Tasks of work: 1. To present the effects of the care of elderly people at home on the psychosocial functioning of the relatives. 2. To overview the activities of the social worker in dealing with the psychosocial problems of elderly people who are being cared for at home. 3. To disclose the need for the activities of a social worker in addressing the psychosocial problems of relatives taking care of the elderly at home. Object of work: The need for the activities of a social worker in addressing the psychosocial problems of elderly people who are being cared for at home. Question of research: What is the need for the activities of a social worker in addressing the psychosocial problems of elderly people who are being cared for at home?
