Abstract

Starenjem organizma mijenjaju se svi organi uključujući i one vezane uz vid. Tako i kod zdravoga starenja dolazi do opadanja određenih aspekata vizualnog funkcioniranja osobe. U skladu s time cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoji li opadanje binokularnog vida, naročito stereovida, kod osoba treće životne dobi u odnosu na standardne vrijednost te ako postoji ima li ono utjecaja na njihove svakodnevne aktivnosti i kretanje. Uz to cilj je bio vidjeti i postoje li razlike u stereoskopskom vidu i poteškoćama u navedenim područjima između osoba koje žive u vlastitom kućanstvu i osoba koje žive u domu za umirovljenike. Iz postavljenih ciljeva željeli smo dobiti uvid u probleme u svakodnevnom životu i kretanju starijih osoba povezane sa slabljenjem funkcije binokularnog vida da bi detektirali područja u kojima su im potrebne podrška i prilagodbe, a sa svrhom poboljšanja njihovog vizualnog funkcioniranja. Testirano je 40 ispitanika, starijih od 65 godina, od kojih su 20 korisnici Doma za umirovljenike Sveta Ana, a 20 ih živi samostalno. U svrhe istraživanja konstruirali smo Upitnik o vizualnim ponašanjima osobe te Upitnik za procjenu utjecaja binokularnog vida na svakodnevne aktivnosti i kretanje Likertovog tipa. Također smo konstruirali i 2 protokola u koje smo bilježili rezultate procjene senzoričkih i motoričkih pretpostavki binokularnog vida te kvalitetu izvedbe zadataka povezanih s razinom stereovida. Rezultati su pokazali slabljenje stereoskopske oštrine i visoku prevalenciju stereo sljepoće koje utječu na učestalost poteškoća u kretanju ispitanika u unutarnjem i vanjskom prostoru te u kretanju stepenicama. Uz prethodno navedeno pokazalo se i kako osobe u domu za umirovljenike imaju statistički značajno smanjen stereovid u odnosu na osobe koje žive u vlastitom kućanstvu. Smatramo da će ovo istraživanje doprinijeti stvaranju olakšanog pristupa uslugama vezanima uz vid u populaciji osoba treće životne dobi te omogućiti kreiranje i primjenu prilagodbi za njihovo poboljšano vizualno funkcioniranje, a s ciljem poboljšanja kvalitete života.

Abstract (english)

As the organism ages, all organs, including those related to vision, change. Thus, even with healthy aging, certain aspects of a person's visual functioning decline. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a decrease in binocular vision, especially stereo vision, in the elderly, and if it has any effect on the daily activities and mobility of subjects. In addition, the aim was to see whether there are differences in stereoscopic vision and difficulties in these areas between people living in their own households and people living in a retirement home. From the set goals, we wanted to gain insight into the problems at the daily life and mobility of the elderly, associated with an impaired binocular vision, to detect areas in need of support and adaptation, with the aim of improved visual functioning. 40 respondents aged 65 and over were tested of whom 20 are beneficiaries of the Sveta Ana Retirement Home and 20 are living independently. For the purposes of the research, we constructed a Questionnaire on the visual behavior and a Questionnaire to assess the impact of binocular vision on everyday activities and mobility of the Likert type. We also constructed 2 protocols in which we recorded the results of the two assessments. First of the sensory and motor components of binocular vision and second for the quality of performance on the tasks influenced by stereo vision. The results showed a weakening of the stereo vision and a high prevalence of stereo blindness as well as the influence of the mentioned on the frequency in which subjects have mobility difficulties in indoor and outdoor space and in moving on the stairs. People in a retirement home have also been shown to have a statistically significant reduced stereo vision compared to people living in their own household. We believe that this research will contribute to the creation of better access to vision-related services in the population of the elderly and enable the creation and implementation of adaptations for their improved visual functioning, with the aim of improving the quality of life.
