In the text, an attempt was made to analyse selected issues related to gerontology in the relationship to people with disabilities. The context of analyses is the tendency of social ageing tendencies, observed in Poland and in the world, especially in European countries. Selected areas of reflection are combined with the conviction that there is a need for research which would fill in the gap in the field of research carried out so far, focused on the issue of the broadly defined life situation of the people with disabilities in the senior years, which is in the scientific merit of Polish special needs education (pedagogics). There is a justified fear that these individuals are more likely to experience marginalisation and exclusion in many areas of life than people of similar age in the general population.

Life satisfaction is a complex and highly subjective concept. Scholars studying this issue have made numerous attempts to define it. Whether we are happy, or have a sense of fulfilment, or we delight in the years we have lived through and in everyday life, it is all related to the aforementioned life satisfaction. The article deals with the subjective sense of life satisfaction among elderly people who are members of the Senior Club in a rural-urban district. The article is based on material obtained from in-depth interviewing. The research objective was to explore and obtain thorough knowledge of the sense of life satisfaction of elderly people. Particular attention is paid to selected factors that determined the perception of life satisfaction. On the basis of the participants’ opinions, certain groups of factors were selected that were more often indicated as key factors in the assessment of life satisfaction, i.e. health, housing situation, place of residence, family relations, neighbourly relations and a sense of social utility. The article presents the complexity of the problem and the need for an individual approach to the topic, due to the changing face of ageing and old age.

Late adulthood is a period in which a growing number of stressors such as strategies for coping with these situations may be significant for the subjective evaluation of the quality of life and adaptation to old age. The aim of this research is to present the relationship between, proactive coping and attitudes toward aging. 88 subjects aged 60-85 years (M = 69,5; SD = 6,74) participated in the study. The following methods were used: The Proactive Coping Inventory developed by Greenglass, Schwarzer and Taubert (Pasikowski’s adaptation) and The Sentence Completion Test – Attitude towards the Aging developed by Steuden. In these studies, people with high proactive achievement have a more positive attitude towards life and old age than those with less proactive one.

This paper explores the relationships of affection and duty that elderly Roman mothers established with their adult daughters and sons. Analysing the written sources, it shows what duties adult children had towards their mothers in consideration for the care received during childhood, and how mothers demanded this support. The paper looks at the affective relationships between mothers and their offspring and highlights the importance of older women for the cohesion of the Roman family. This study draws five main conclusions. First, that care practices performed by Roman mothers gave them a privileged position in old age. Second, that the survival of Roman women in old age depended largely on the ties they had with their younger relatives. Third, that the relationships these women established with their adult sons and daughters were characterised by a mixture of affection and authority. Fourth, that the women studied here used old age as a discursive weapon to achieve their ends, presenting it as an especially vulnerable stage in life, but also as a source of power. And lastly, that the relationship elder Roman mothers had with their children was dependent on the gender of the child.

Attention in the article is focused on the basic concepts in the gerontological sense, namely: aging, old age and elderly people. The in-depth analysis concerned three areas of issues: aging of society, aging in society and proposals of preparation for old age. Aging is a process that affects everyone and should be prevented. Demanding and even challenging older people is one of the methods.

The subject of this article is a big city social Policy towards old people with an example of Warsaw. The author was inspired to write this text with her partici- pation in a workgroup “Exclusion of elderly persons,” which prepared a diagnosis and formulated initial suggestions to the Social Strategy for Warsaw 2009–2020. It seems, that regardless the differences between big towns, basic goals and assumptions for the policy towards senior citizens are similar in the majority of metropolitan communities. Due to the fact that any proposal concerning social policy should be preceded by a diag- nosis, the article begins with the description of demographic situation of big Polish towns (above half million population) and with a diagnosis of the situation of senior citi- zens in Warsaw. Demographic and socio-economic data were obtained from the Central Statistical Office publications.

Background: The main aim of the presented study is to identify the relationship between loneliness and life satisfaction of seniors. It was expected that high score of loneliness will correspond to lower score of satisfaction with life. Methods: The group consisted of 161 people (53 male and 108 female, age range 60-105 years old) took part in this study. The data was collected using following tools: UCLA Loneliness Scale by Russell, Peplau and Cutrona, Attitude Profile-Revised LAP-R by Reker and a survey of our own authorship allows to collect socio-demographic data. Correlation and regression methods have been used to find relationship between the variables. Findings: Results of the study show some correlations between loneliness and satisfaction with life (r=0,49 for social connections, r=0,57 for belonging to social group, r=-0,53 for lack of contact). Furthermore, regression analysis shows that lack of contact, social connections and sense of belonging explain about 94% of the variance of life satisfaction. Discussion: The implementation of these results to the psychological care for the elderly might contribute to improving their quality of life.

Starszy człowiek niejako na naszych oczach stał się przedstawicielem jednej z najliczniejszych grup ludności współczesnego świata. Rozpatrując w związku ztym zjawiskiem zagadnienie starości, oscyluje się przeważnie pomiędzy dwoma poglądami. Jeden z nich głosi, że starość jest cechą typowo ludzką, która pojawia się w niezbyt odległym od nas okresie dzięki poprawie warunków życia oraz postępowi wiedzy. Drugi zakłada, że żyjący wcześniej starsi ludzie nie pojawiali się jako odrębna kategoria społeczna, ponieważ utożsamiało się ich z ogółem dorosłych. Niezależnie od tego, jaką wersję przyjmiemy, okres, który nazywamy starością, jest obecnie powszechnie dostępną dla większości osób częścią życia człowieka. Okresem, który zwykle nas nie zadowala, choć jest równie istotny i cenny jak dzieciństwo, okres dojrzewania lub młodości. Celem niniejszego artykułu przeglądowego jest próba zachęcenia czytelnika do zainteresowania się zagadnieniem wieku sędziwego poprzez przedstawienie zarysu losów oraz obrazów starości w kontekście wybranych społeczeństw.

Background: It is thought that at least one medication is taken by up to 60% of elderly people. What is more, in US elderly people living in the community take on average four medications, while home-care residents take averagely seven drugs a day. The above-mentioned facts, in the light of current demographic changes of the structure of population, indicate the growing cost of ambulatory drug therapy of the elderly. Aim of the study: To analyze the costs of one month of ambulatory drug therapy in the group of elderly aged 80 and over following hospital discharge. Moreover, the relation between the number of pills and drugs taken in general, concomitant illnesses and costs of therapy were assessed. Materials and methods: The retrospective analysis of medical documentation of 116 patients aged 80 and over was performed. The costs of therapy were calculated accordingly to the prices published in The Drug Index. Co-morbid illnesses were classified accordingly to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Analysis in the age subgroups was performed. Results: Mean age was 85.2 ± 4.2y-rs, group consisted of 62 women and 27 men; 27 patients were excluded from further analysis. Mean number of prescribed drugs was 7.6 ± 2.9 (min.–max.: 1–16), mean number of prescribed pills was 8.8 ± 4.3 (min.–max.: 0–23). Patients in the examined group suffered from 5.8 ± 2.0 chronic diseases averagely. Mean cost of one month of ambulatory drug therapy was 135.9 ± 95.7 PLN (min.–max.: 1,96–625,9 PLN). Significant relations between the costs of ambulatory drug therapy and the number of chronic diseases (r = 0.51, p < 0.0001) as well as the number of pills (r = 0.68, p < 0.001) and drugs (r = 0.74, p < 0.001) were observed. The differences in the subgroups were observed. Conclusions: The high co-morbidity observed in the elderly results in the need for taking a great number of drugs and consequently causes high costs of ambulatory drug therapy. When planning ambulatory treatment, it is important to analyze the patients’ and their families’ financial situation, and when necessary provide economical support.

This article concerns the dimensions of old age in the perception of children and adolescents. The inspiration for its creation was the analysis of explorations of the perception of old age and old people in society, especially in perception of children and adolescents. This issue is a significant problem because analyzes and reports on the subject, emphasize that the least favorable attitudes towards the elderly manifests indicated young generation. Children and adolescents usually speak out not very friendly about old age and the old people and build their opinions on the basis of generally negative stereotype of old age and the old people in the society. Hence, it is interesting to present dimensions of old age formed by the younger generation because they become important for establishing and building intergenerational contacts and relationships. Repeatedly these dimensions which are relying on the little benevolent and not always accurate information prevent mutual and shared communion of both generations. Awareness of their specificity is important to take action aimed at the direction of formation of relevant attitudes toward the old man and old age.

The literary works of famous Bulgarian authors Stanislav Stratiev (1941–2000) and Victor Paskov (1949–2009) may be viewed in terms of athorough study of the human being and the multidimensionality of its existence. Their reflections about existential problems also involve the experience of passing and old age that have ontological, social, cultural, symbolic and metaphorical dimension. The novel A Ballad for George Henig (1987) by Paskov and the drama On the Other Side (1994) by Stratiev include clear and ambiguous images of the end of the human life. The experience of passing and old age affects aparticular person as apersonality and its relationship with the other people. This subject reveals, on the one hand, the crisis of human relations and values in contemporary Bulgarian society, on the other hand it emphasizes the fragility of the human condition, expressed in the experience of pain, illness, passing, old age and death.

BG

Творчествотo на известнитe български автори Станислав Стратиев (1941–2000) и Виктор Пасков (1949–2009) можe да бъдe разгледанo кaто по-задълбочено изучаване на човешкото същество и на множествотo измерения на неговия живот. Интересът към екзистенциалните проблеми включва и описание на опита на преходност и старост, който притежава онтологично, социалнo, културнo, символично и метафорично измерение. Романът на Пасков Балада за Георг Хених (1987) и драмата на Стратиев От другатa страна (1994) представят изразителни и нееднозначни картини зa крайния етап от човешкия живот. Опитът на преходност и старост засяга човешкия индивид като личност и отношенията мy с близкитe и по-далечнaтa социална среда. Тeматa разкрива, от една страна, кризата на човешките отношения и на ценноститe в съвременното българското общество, от друга страна — подчертава крехкостта на човешкото съществуване, което се изразява в опита на страдание, заболяване, преходност, старост и смърт.

Bartholomew Paprocki in his work Třinácte tabulí věku lidského (1601) describes stages of human existence. Each stage constitutes one ‘‘board” in which Paprocki contains different moral messages. On individual “boards” the writer scrutinizes birth, childhood, youth, adulthood, old age. Paprocki perceives old age as the final stage of life, starting at the age of 60, which is aboundary between what happened and what will happen. The first part of human life is over and the rest should be devoted to religious worship, when one regrets sins committed in young age and begs God for forgiveness.

CS

Bartoloměj Paprocký ve svém díle Třinácte tabulí věku lidského (1601) popisuje etapa lidského života. Každé období je jedna „tabule”, ve které Paprocký dává jiné morální napomenutína základě citátů zantických spisovatelů acírkevních otců. Vjednotlivých „tabulích” autor charakterizuje dětství, mládí, dospělost a stáří. Paprocký považuje stáří za poslední etapu života, jež začíná ve věku 60 let, který znamená hranici mezi tím, co bylo, atím, co bude. První částka života končí, v druhé částce je třeba žít zbožně, litovat hříchů spáchaných v mládí aprosit Boha o smilování.

Passing, departing of man became an awkward subject in the contemporary civilization (avoiding problems of old age and death, the cult of the body). However, the problem of solitude affect's man at every time of his or her life. Therefore, there is a need to seek solutions in the interdisciplinary dimension conducive to the elimination of loneliness of older people (or at least to contribute to their reduction) and relieve the consequences. Active participation of older people in the life of family and society is very important. People supporting the elderly (physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers) should promote the concept of old age being valuable, full of possibilities, often hidden developmental reserves.

The article is an attempt to present, on a literary level, two differing perspectives of old age in various texts of the Hebrew Bible. First, a suggestion is made regarding the point in life when somebody could be regarded as old. A brief mention is made of the longevity of characters appearing in the so-called Primeval Cycle of Genesis 1-11. Then, it is indicated that Levitical instructions of Numbers 4 and 8 as well as rules of valuating people in Leviticus 27, can settle the beginning of old age at fifty or sixty years of age respectively, dependent on the type of work one performed. Second, the article focuses on positive aspects of old age in the Hebrew Bible, showing that to grow old was desired, since it was regarded as a realization and fulfilment of somebody's life. Old age in certain contexts can be viewed as a blessing from YHWH (e.g., Exod. 20,12) and a reward for a righteous living (Ps. 92,12-15). Old people according to Levitical traditions are to be respected because YHWH himself respects their old age (cf. Lev. 19,32). In early sapiential traditions of the Book of Proverbs, old age is connected with wisdom as this qualification assumes not only theoretical knowledge, but requires much practical experience. Therefore, wisdom seldom goes hand in hand with the young. Third, the article proceeds to present negative aspects of old age described in various traditions of the Hebrew Bible. It is pointed out that those texts speak honestly of infirmities of being old, such as weaker eyesight and taste, decreasing ability to procreate, and increasing disposition to being manipulated by others. A special accumulation of negative features of old age can be found in a later sapiential tradition of Qoheleth 12,2-6. Yet, it is suggested that old age is not the worst experience accoring to the sage, but endless oppression and loneliness are (cf. Eccles. 4,1-3.7-12). Finally, it is noted that some traditions expressing eschatological hope restore and promote the positive picture of old age. Deutero-Isaiah looks to a lengthening of human life far beyond a hundred years (Isa. 65,20). The Book of Jubilees 23,27 gives hope of extending human life to nearly a thousand years, which may be viewed as returning to the unrealized ideal of the Primeval Cycle in Genesis 1-11. Thus, old age can be viewed mainly as a positive perspective of human life.
