Introduction
Regardless of the theory and mechanisms of ageing, the processes of ageing cause organic and functional changes often leading to disability, where rehabilitation plays an important role. Objective of the work The aim of the study was to evaluate the availability of rehabilitation, its effectiveness and the scope of nec-essary nursing care for patients at the age of 65 and more treated in the Rehabilitation Department of the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center in Konstancin-Jeziorna Research material and methods The study involved 150 patients aged 65 years (62.7%, 94 were women and 56 – 37.3% men) treated in the Rehabilitation Department, who were randomly selected. The study used a proprietary the authors’?? questionnaire consisting of 21 questions. Participation in the study was voluntary and anonymous for the patients who were informed about this fact before the study. The study was conducted after receiving prior written approval from the management of the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center. Results A correlation between the reason for treatment in the rehabilitation center and the age of patients was proven. However, with regard to other objective of the study, there was no relationship between the number of stays in the rehabilitation center or the frequency of using stationary rehabilitation and the place of resi-dence of the respondents. According to the majority of patients taking part in the study, stationary rehabili-tation brings the best results (50.2% of all assessments), followed by daily centre (20.3%), home (15.9%) and ambulatory (13.6%) rehabilitation. There was no correlation between the patient’s perception of accessibility of various forms of rehabilitation or outcomes of various types of rehabilitation, and the age of patients in this study. Conlcusions The availability of rehabilitation services in stationary care is satisfactory and is an indispensable element of geriatric care. Patients’ satisfaction is independent of the age of patients or their place of residence. |
