| Annotation | The study aims to establish whether professional and scientific literature in Slovenia provides grounds for the integrated approach in care for the elderly population. Literature review is used as the method of data collection and analysis. Relevant publications were searched for through the national electronic interdisciplinary bibliographic database. Two sets of data were collected - for the period from 1994 to 2003, and from 2004 to 2006 - to establish the publishing trend. A chart is drawn, based on a distinction between three levels: disciplinary, multi-interdisciplinary, and the level of integration. It outlines the conceptualisation of older people's health as shaped through selected literature, and another one exposes its changes in time. Results show the prevalent presence of the functionalist theoretical perspective on ageing and the bio-medical model of elderly care. The voice of older people is also poorly acknowledged. Data testify to the lack of literature that would support the implementation of the integrated approach to the health of older adults. (KJ/RH). |
