Addictive substance use in a home for the elderly

Abstract:

The bachelor thesis deals with the topic of substance abuse in a home for the elderly. The work is divided into theoretical and research part. The theoretical part consists of four chapters. The first chapter contains an overview of legal and illegal substances. The second chapter deals with the use of addictive substances in old age. The third chapter defines old age, aging and the concept of senior. The last and fourth chapters are focused on the definition of the term home for the elderly and there are still conditions for the admission of a senior to a home for the elderly, services provided, including the number of homes for the elderly in the Czech Republic. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find out what is the general awareness of seniors about addictive substances (about the types of addictive substances, their effects, addiction, health and social complications of abuse, prevention and treatment options). A partial goal is to find out to what extent seniors use addictive substances. The goal was achieved using quantitative research. The collection of information was carried out by the method of questioning, ie questionnaires of own design. The questionnaires included the Likert scale, open and closed questions. The research was carried out in the Wágnerka Home for the Elderly in Český Krumlov. The final set included 30 respondents over the age of 50. The results of the research show that they also have sufficient information in homes for the elderly on legal addictive substances, as opposed to illegal substances. Research continues to show that seniors also use a number of legal addictive substances, most often drugs, tobacco products, caffeinated beverages and alcohol. The results of the bachelor's thesis can increase awareness of the problem in seniors and employees of homes for the elderly, including students helping professions and those interested from the general public
