The falls of seniors at home environment
DOČEKALOVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis focuses on one of frequently occuring problems affecting seniors which influence the senior´s and their family´s lives very negatively. It is falls of seniors in the home environment, usually leading to a long-term hospitalization of the seniors, often leading to their health-condition deterioration, or, in the worst cases, to the seniors´ death. That is why it is important for seniors and their families to be sufficiently informed about ways to prevent falling, and what measures to adopt to avoid falling. This thesis consists of two parts. The introducing chapter of the theoretical part describes the scientific fields of gerontology and geriatrics, and defines the terms of aging and old age. Further, the ways of geriatric patients examination are described. Falls, their etiology, phenomenology, their results and prevention are characterized in the following chapters of the theoretical part. The research part of the thesis defines four aims. It was trying to ascertain what specific circumstances to falls of seniors in the home environment there are, what consequences there are from the seniors´ and their family members´ point of view, whether seniors having suffered from a fall in the past have taken any preventive measures to avoid more falls, and what opinion is held by their family to fall prevention. 5 seniors having suffered a fall in the home environment, and 5 of their family members took part in the research. When processing the data obtained via interviewing the respondents, 5 categories and 6 sub-categories were created. The results have proven that the fall usually influences the future life of the given senior negatively. All of the questioned respondents had stated certain fear of fall repetition in the interview, some preventive measures were taken by some of the respondents only. Based on this bachelor thesis, a short educative material has been created, which may be further used as an educative leaflet serving to pass on practical information on preventing falls of seniors.
