Conflict situations in the socio-health sphere of aged people
description
Detection and description of conflicts when assisting aged people in the socio-health sphere in Guipúzcoa’s province. This study is part of a larger research funded by the UPV/EHU dealing with old age conflicts and suggesting interventions based on mediation and conflict resolution. Semi-structured interviews were carried out upon 30 people related to old people assistance: 22 women and 8 men. The most frequent conflicts were: demand and resources are out of step, in those cases where the family has an essential role, and coexistence conflicts. The existence of negative stereotypes about the old age and the aging process interfere with conflicts, as well as the detected lack of knowledge concerning conflict dynamics and its resolutions. Old people, their relatives, and the technical personnel were the most implied parties, of which the last ones are the mainstays when dealing with conflicts. These conflicts management is conditioned upon the maintenance of the institutions’ everyday operation due to the characteristics of the population being treated, the scarcity of resources and its consequences, and the personalization of conflict (the aged people are involved in it and are the source of conflict).

Este estudio forma parte de una investigación más amplia, financiada por la UPV/EHU, que aborda los conflictos en la vejez y propone intervenciones basadas en mediación y resolución de conflictos. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a 30 individuos relacionados con la asistencia a personas mayores, 22 mujeres y 8 varones. Los conflictos más habituales eran: desfase entre demanda y recursos, aquellos en que la familia juega un papel fundamental y conflictos de convivencia. La existencia de estereotipos negativos sobre la vejez y el envejecimiento interfieren en los conflictos, al igual que el desconocimiento detectado respecto a la dinámica de los conflictos y su resolución. Los ancianos, sus familiares y el personal técnico eran las partes de mayor implicación, siendo estos últimos un pilar fundamental en el tratamiento de la conflictividad. El manejo de estos conflictos están supeditados al mantenimiento del funcionamiento rutinario de las instituciones debido a las características de la población a las que se atiende, la escasez de recursos y sus consecuencias, y la personalización del conflicto (los ancianos son parte implicada y fuente del conflicto).2009text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5587082(Revista) ISSN 2013-8857Journal of Conflictology, ISSN 2013-8857, Nº. 1, 2009, pags. 35-39engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
