Polish society, just like European societies, is aging. In 2019, the percentage of people over the age of 60 exceeded 24%. Old age is a period in a person’s life which young people in Poland usually associate negatively. The young generation sees old age mainly as a period of dependent life dependent on other people. The aim of the research was to diagnose the views of student youth on the threats to the social life of older people. Interestingly, what were the beliefs of young people about the threats to the functioning of older people in the family and in the wider social environment.

Polskie społeczeństwo, podobnie jak społeczeństwa europejskie, się starzeje. W 2019 r. odsetek osób po 60. roku życia przekroczył 24%. Starość jest okresem w życiu człowieka, który młodym ludziom w Polsce zazwyczaj kojarzy się negatywnie. Młode pokolenie postrzega starość głównie jako okres życia niesamodzielnego, uzależnionego od innych ludzi. Celem badań uczyniono diagnozę poglądów młodzieży studenckiej na temat zagrożeń w życiu społecznym osób starszych. Interesujące wydało się, jakie są przekonania młodych ludzi na temat zagrożeń funkcjonowania osób starszych w rodzinie oraz w szerszym środowisku społecznym.

An increase in the number of elderly people poses a great challenge to the state and society, and forces the introduction of some fundamental changes in all areas of social policy. A greater number of elderly people generates a demand for  welfare and medical services as well as long-term care. Consequently, more caregivers will be needed. In Poland one can observe a considerable dispersion of services, which leads to the lack of coordinated care for elderly people who frequently have to cope with various problems alone.
PL
Wzrost liczby osób starszych stanowi ogromne wyzwanie dla państwa i społeczeństwa, wymuszające zasadnicze zmiany w polityce społecznej we wszystkich jej obszarach. Ponadto generuje zapotrzebowanie na usługi socjalne, medyczne i opiekę długoterminową. Wraz ze zwiększaniem się udziału osób starszych w społeczeństwie potrzebna będzie większa liczba opiekunów, niż jest obecnie. W Polsce obserwujemy znaczne rozproszenie świadczeń, co powoduje brak koordynacji opieki nad osobą starszą, która bardzo często jest pozostawiona sama wobec licznych problemów.

Background The physical factor (health literacy, health status, functional ability to perform daily basic and instrumental activities and risk factors) is linked to life satisfaction in older age. The aim of this study is to establish the correlation between the physical holistic factor and life satisfaction in older age. Material and Methods The quantitative research method was used. In order to sample the data, the authors chose a simple random sample. The designed questionnaire was filled in by 1064 older persons aged ≥ 65 years, living in social care institutions/nursing homes for older persons or in the home environment. The number of correctly completed survey questionnaires was 656. In order to measure life satisfaction, the Satisfaction with Life Scale was used. Within the physical factor, 4 indexes were formed. In order to be able to show the desired influences or links between the physical factor and life satisfaction, the authors used propensity score methods. Results The individual indexes within the physical factor are linked to life satisfaction to a varying degree: health literacy (R² = 0.137), health status (R² = 0.047), the functional ability to perform daily basic and instrumental activities (R2 = 0.015), and risk factors (R² = 0.001). The physical holistic factor is linked to life satisfaction in older age (R² = 0.05). Conclusions With this research, the authors have proven that the older persons with high levels of health literacy, a good health status without chronic diseases, who are independent in performing daily basic and instrumental activities, and do not have any risk factors present, are more satisfied with their lives.

ObjectivesThis paper investigates the sense of occupational burnout among people working with older persons in the long-term care sector in relation to their personality traits. The study objective is to examine the correlation between the sense of burnout and personality traits of persons working in the helping professions, the so-called human services. According to researchers, these professionals are susceptible to occupational burnout due to the involvement of their personal emotions in the helping process.Material and MethodsThe study encompassed 238 workers employed at care institutions for older people. The authors used a diagnostic survey as the research method, and the following research instruments: the Maslach Burnout Inventory by C. Maslach (to assess an individual’s sense of burnout) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory by P.T. Costa and R.R. McCrae (to assess personality traits).ResultsThe survey indicates that workers are at risk of occupational burnout, and statistically significant differences have been observed in their sense of burnout depending on their personality traits in all the inventories analyzed: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment.ConclusionsSince the survey results confirm the differences in the sense of occupational burnout among the respondents with different personality traits, measures should be taken for the prevention and early detection of burnout in workers. For the intervention methods to be effective, workers’ personality traits should be taken into account.
