    Alkalmazott Digitális Jólét Program a könyvtárban
    (2024-12-30) Beck-Zaja, Mónika
    Thanks to the Digital Wellbeing Programme, the Vachott Sándor Library in Gyöngyös has been running a digital assistance service (Smart Grandma's Club) since 2018, which aims to help the older generation learn the basics of IT, how to use computers, the internet, word processing and smartphones. (Kápolnai, 2022) The results of the research programme "Older people as ICT learners" ÚNKP-23-3 conducted here have confirmed the relevance of digital competence development for older people, the areas of use, the possibilities for effective learning through the conscious use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) devices, and the current device and network access data.  In addition to factually identifying the areas of use of ICT devices by older people, a learning motivation chart for the development of digital competence in old age was prepared in the framework of the project ÚNKP-23-3. Further gerontological research confirms that older people who are mobile, active, open, and who maintain or even enrich their social contacts can expect a more fulfilling old age. Creativity, intelligence and literacy do not necessarily or uniformly decline with age. The degradation of neurons during the ageing process can be compensated by strengthening and renewing the connections between them through learning (Bene-Móré-Zombory, 2020).Learning is one of the most effective ways to stay active in old age (Bene, 2017).  Successful learning in old age depends on the unity of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which, alongside social integration, contributes to maintaining and improving active life. The importance of digital literacy in old age is widespread. However, in addition to digital skills, flexibility, autonomy and problem-solving competence can also contribute to the future effective management of older people's lives and even their work (Kristóf-Győri, 2021). Digital competence development can create a bridge between generations and social classes, "knowledge" can be available to anyone. Still, in old age, motivation is a prerequisite for a successful learning process. The current study is supported by the ÚNKP-23-3 New National Excellence Program of The Ministry for Culture and Innovation from the source of the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund.

    Az időskor szubjektív megélésének vizsgálata a lakóhelyi társas körülmények szerint
    (2025-10-30) Bede, Melinda; Pachner, Orsolya
    The transformation of the situation of older people in the 21st century can be attributed to social ageing and the changing of family structures, which are associated with changes in the living conditions of older people. The aim of this research is to investigate how aging is experienced in relation to protective factors and housing conditions. The research has a cross-sectional design, with a sample of participants aged 60+ years according to the WHO definition (N=98). Measures include self-structured and standard questionnaires to assess self-esteem, satisfaction with life, social support, and resilience. Results show that peer support varies based on living arrangements, with higher support reported by those living in social institutions or family, but no difference in old age experiences. Using cluster analysis, the sample can be divided into four groups based on housing conditions. Differences are observed in peer support, resilience and self-esteem, suggesting a more negative situation for those living in a single person household and a more positive situation for those living in a social institution. However, no differences can be identified in life satisfaction which is relevant to the experience of old age, possibly due to different background factors: resilience is the main factor behind the life satisfaction of women living in a family, while social support dominates in those living in a social institution. To understand the satisfaction of men living in a family and of women living in a single person household, it would be necessary to include additional influencing factors. Given these results, it can be seen that even in programs aimed at improving the quality of life of older people, it may be important to consider the place of residence, as it can influence life satisfaction through different factors.

    Sikeres időskort segítő tanulási programok elméleti alapjai szociális ellátások tekintetében
    (2024-12-30) Virágh, Viktória
    In the Decade of Healthy Ageing, healthy and successful aging can also be promoted through social services and care provided to the elderly. It is necessary to support and develop those functional abilities that allow the elderly to meet their needs in their own environment. Since the 1960s, models of healthy and successful aging have continuously shifted in a positive direction, expanded, and coexisted. Today, the lives of older people can be supported in very complex ways along the dimensions defined by these models. It has also become increasingly emphasized that the expected lifespan in good health can be extended to later ages, but chronic diseases and the decline of functional abilities cannot be avoided. For the oldest elderly, who often require social assistance, the process of adaptation to changes is the most necessary and feasible to support. Both adaptation and the maintenance of abilities can be best supported through education and learning. In social institutions, didactically grounded learning programs tailored to the abilities of elderly residents can be integrated into their daily routines as part of therapeutic care. The involvement of professionals working with the elderly is essential for the development and practical application of these programs. The strategy of action research provides an opportunity for learning programs that can be effectively applied in the social sector to develop and be implemented in a collaborative, action-oriented process. In my study, I present the theoretical foundation of this conceptual framework.

    Az egészségtudatosság jelenléte nőknél a menopauza vonatkozásában - Egy pilot kutatás eredményei
    (2024-12-30) Savella, Orsolya; Czabaji Horváth, Attila
    The research looked at women's health awareness of a health factor such as menopause. This factor is important because it affects all women and increases their risk of developing diseases that are common in the national population. The questions of the pilot study were: How does health awareness about menopause appear in women? How does health awareness in the study area affect the intention to change behaviour? The two lectures on this topic provided the framework for the questionnaire survey. The responses of 18 volunteers were processed using simple descriptive statistical calculations. The results obtained indicate that exposure to the topic has a positive influence on both health awareness and health-conscious behaviour change intention in informal learning.

    Egy láthatatlan történetről
    (2024-12-30) Tóth, Dalma
    Mindenki életében vannak olyan láthatatlan folyamatok és események, amelyeket oly könnyedén szemlél a külvilág, hogy még csak tabunak sem nevezhetjük a hozzájuk fűződő egyéni problémákat és a társadalom működéséhez kapcsolódó deficiteket. Ilyen láthatatlan fátyol borítja be a demenciával küzdők és családjuk életét is. Ma már tudjuk, hogy a demencia egy olyan állapot, amely a leépülés során lépcsőfokonként menetelve vezeti a gondozót és a gondozottat egy számukra ismeretlen világ felé. Szűcs Teri ezt az ismeretlen világot mutatja be a Visszatért hozzám az emlékezet: Demenecia és Óperencia című kötetében.

    Harmonising Perspectives: Understanding the Resident's Voice and Care Homes' Culture
    (2024-12-02) Fenech, George; Marmara, Letizia
    One must focus on the concept of dealing with an older person who is battling with the reality of having to leave the comfort zone for a good number of years to enter a different world within an institution. Working towards reaching new cultural aspirations can be disturbing in its own way. We all must educate ourselves about all the influences affecting this transformation.

    Relocation Stress Syndrome and Associated Health Outcomes among Older Persons Living in Long-Term Care Facilities: Findings from a Systematic Literature Review
    (2024-12-02) Gouder, Jeannette Azzopardi; Sultana, Roberta; Fenech, Maria Aurora
    Relocation stress syndrome was officially recognised as a nursing diagnosis in 1992; however, the phenomenon had been documented for at least 70 years. In Western literature, high mortality rates and other deleterious effects of relocation on older person populations were described as early as the 1960s.
