  Az állat-asszisztált terápiát (AAT), mint módszert Boris Levinson amerikai pszichológus dolgozta ki az 1960-as években. Kutatásunk célja megvizsgálni, hogy milyen különbségek vannak a distressz állapotban, állatbaráttal rendelkező, valamint állatbarát nélküli egyedül élő idősek között. Összesen 111 személy vett részt a kérdőíves felmérésben és 20 személy a kutatásban. Az időseket beavatkozás előtt-után egyénenként, objektív pszichológiai módszerekkel felmértük (DASS-Depresszió, Szorongás és Stressz Skálával), hogy képet kapjunk a beavatkozás sikeréről. Az eredmények alapján, feltételezésünk igaznak bizonyult, az állatterápiának van hatása az idősek distressz állapotára. Hatékonyan használható terápiás módszer, depresszió, szorongás és stressz kezelésére.

  Loneliness is a serious public health problem of an ageing population. The prevalence of loneliness in elderly population was estimated to rise from 10% to 45%. In elderly population, loneliness is considered as a risk factor for mental health disorders, especially depression. Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health disorders worldwide and their prevalence is increasing, especially among seniors who are hospitalised and living in nursing homes.

  Ageing society is a reality for many people in developing countries than in the past. Governments are facing major challenges in safeguarding the mental health of older people and health care systems to deal with this demographic shift. The mental health of older people is an important indicator of the level of their health-related quality of life.  The situation of older people in Africa, concerning their mental health and well-being, is a matter of growing attention among researchers and policymakers alike. There is a common perception in connection with the aged population reporting poor mental health status and a greater need for healthcare. However, there is few research on the disparities of older people relating to healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Botswana. There is a tendence of ever-increasing number and population proportions of older people representing both opportunities and challenges. Some of these challenges include the prevention and management of anxiety, depression, and somatization, which are the most common mental disorders in primary health care the world over. Previous research has shown that the three disorders are highly comorbid because of the need for prevention and mitigation of all three.

  A summary of Symposium titled COVID-19 pandemic, surveys on elderly about vaccination reserved in this abstract.
  The severe cases of COVID-19 in Europe. A comparative analysis using SHARE data base
  The paper focuses on the severe cases of COVID-19 in Europe and the predictors of these cases. The author used the secondary analysis of a large data base (SHARE) of persons aged 50 or more from the EU countries and the Switzerland. The data have been collected in the summer of 2020. In the first part the focus is on the theoretical starting point of the analysis. In the second part the main outputs are presented.
  How to convince the undecided - communication with the elderly and attitudes towards vaccination COVID-19 in Poland
  The pandemic has had its toll on the socio-economic life of most people. Governments and international organizations face new challenges in a situation of uncertainty. Social campaigns are designed to encourage as many people as possible to join the vaccination plan. Achieving population resilience requires a significant commitment of organizational, financial and communication resources.
  Older people constitute a priority group in the vaccination system in Poland. However, despite the measures taken, there remains a significant share of seniors who remain reluctant to vaccination. The government is taking further pro-turnout measures targeted at the elderly. The shortcomings of the existing strategies should be eliminated for the benefit of society.
  The aim is to summarize the research conducted in the field of the needs and possibilities of communication with the elderly, attitudes towards vaccinations and sources of influence on making purchasing decisions of seniors.
  Vaccination attitudes – international project in Central and Eastern Europe
  The beginnings of the project date back to 2020. The uncertainty that became commonplace in the times of the pandemic indicated new areas of previously unknown dependencies. Stress, uncertainty, attitudes towards the threat, protective behaviour, and soon also attitudes towards vaccination seemed the most important at that time. Examining the existing dependencies would allow a better understanding of the phenomenon of social responses to the pandemic and would support governmental and non-governmental, national and international actions that would be an important tool in the fight against the negative consequences of a spreading COVID-19.
  Scientists from Central and Eastern European countries representing different disciplines (sociology, economics, communication, statistics, psychology and psychiatry) joined forces in a common international project investigating the relationship between attitudes towards vaccines and the level of perceived mental health, uncertainty, socio-demographic variables and the level of religiosity. Core aims of the project were to analyse the model of predictors concerning demographic, psychological, and social factors influencing the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 and to provide the information to prepare and implement more effective and efficient health messaging strategies and campaigns targeting groups reluctant to COVID-19 vaccination in Eastern and Central European countries.
  The project involved the development of a common research tool - a questionnaire, parallel research in four countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Hungary), more than 2000 respondents (unvaccined adults) and joint development of the results of the analysis, using the potential of all involved partners.
  The project is still developed to next stages of investigation. Results will be published in high quality journals in years 2022 and 2023.

  Partners involved represent: University of Gdańsk (Poland), University of Oradea (Romania), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), University of Debrecen (Hungary).

  Survey on unvaccinated Hungarian elderly people during the COVID-19 pandemic
  During the pandemic, we performed a comparative study of the Hungarian unvaccinated people, focusing on psychological and demographic aspects in our questionnaire. The survey data collection lasted from 27 August to 13 October 2021. Participants were over 18 years of age who have not yet received any vaccination against the COVID-19 virus.
  The method used is an on-line questionnaire survey.
  The survey is not for political but for scientific purposes, and we hope that its results will contribute to a more professional management of the COVID-19 epidemic. The survey of Hungarian team was conducted in collaboration with Polish, Slovenian and Romanian university researchers.
  The test dimensions are as follows:
  Well-being at the time of pandemic (happiness, health.)
  Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS21)
  Vaccination Attitudes Examination Scale (VAX)
  Sources of information about vaccination
  Religiosity level
  Demographics (metrics)
  The presentation focuses on the most important aspects of the first analysis of the Hungarian results. The study involved 478 people: 113 men, 363 women, and 2 people identified as “other”. It is worth highlighting from the first processing of the data that a large number of unvaccinated people do not believe that they are at risk of getting the COVID-19 virus. In our sample 42% of the unvaccinated are very sure that the vaccine will not work, and 30.6% are afraid that they will become infected because of the vaccine. They do not usually feel safe after vaccinations, they are afraid of the undiscovered consequences, and they trust more in their natural immunity. 61.8% definitely do not want a vaccine for themselves, nor in the future. 67.3% want to wait to see how vaccines work in other people. During processing, we could identify the ones with a definite anti-vaccination attitude. They were also analyzed on the basis of their political affiliation, religiosity, and place of residence. Regarding the DASS-21 depression subscale, the young age group scored significantly higher than the elderly. According to the DASS-21 stress subscale, the value belonging to young people is significantly higher than that of older people. On the Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale’s concerns about financial profiteering subscale, seniors scored significantly higher. Interpreting our results in the context of parallel international studies is also part of our objectives. Our results provide an opportunity to serve important aspects for the communication strategies with unvaccinated elderly.

  Háttér és célkitűzések: Kutatásunkban azt vizsgáltuk, hogy az idős emberek milyen flow- és antiflow-élményt élnek át különböző élethelyzetekben (egyedüllét, családdal és barátokkal töltött idő, háztartási munkavégzés, szabadidős vagy alkotó tevékenység).
  Módszer: Vizsgálatunkban az Oláh-féle flow- és antiflow-élményt (szorongás, unalom, apátia) vizsgáló kérdőívet alkalmaztuk.
  Eredmények és következtetések: Alkotó tevékenység és egyéb szabadidős tevékenységek végzése során összességében nagyobb flow és kisebb antiflow-élmény élhető át, mint háztartási munkák végzése közben. A családi körben átélt flow az időseknél magasabb, mint a baráti társaságban átélt. Az alkotó tevékenységgel foglalkozók magasabb flow- és alacsonyabb antiflow-élményről számoltak be egyedüllét során, mint az egyéb szabadidős tevékenységgel foglalkozó kontrollcsoport.

• „Olyan fiatalnak szeretnék kinézni, mint amilyennek érzem magam” A szépészeti beavatkozásokok alkalmazása iránti hajlandóságot befolyásoló pszichológiai tényezők az idősödés kontextusában

  2020-ban csak az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban összesen 15,6 millió szépészeti beavatkozás történt – ez 43%-os emelkedést jelent 2000-es 6,7 millióhoz képest, és ez a növekvő tendencia valószínűsíthető a következő évtizedekre is. 2020-ban a legnépesebb fogyasztói csoportnak a 40-55 év közötti nők csoportja bizonyult, akik az összes szépészeti beavatkozás 45%-ában részesültek, és akik elsődlegesen olyan eljárásokat választottak, amelyek az idősödés látható nyomainak az eltüntetését célozzák. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy összefoglalja, hogy melyek azok a tényezők, amelyek egyrészt általánosan hatnak a beavatkozásokkal kapcsolatos pozitív attitűdök kialakítására. Másrészt az összefoglaló arra is kitér, hogy az öregedés folyamata, hogy kapcsolódik a kozmetikai eljárások iránti érdeklődéshez. A háttértényezők mind egyéni szinten – mint az öregedéssel kapcsolatos szorongás, mind társas szinten – mint az idősekkel kapcsolatos sztereotípiák és ageizmus – feltárásra kerülnek. Végezetül az áttekintés azt is bemutatja, hogy a beavatkozásokon résztvevő személyek milyen megítélésben részesülnek, valamint, hogy melyek azok a tényezők, amelyek segíthetik, hogy az idős egyén pozitívan viszonyuljon az idősödéshez.
