Introduction. The aging of the organism is a dynamic and irreversible process of our organism. The possibility of exercising self-care, i.e. performing activities on one's own, such as walking, eating, controlling physiological needs and maintaining personal hygiene, should be equated with independence.
The aim. The aim of the study is to assess the deficit in basic everyday activities among people covered by long-term residential care.
Materials and methods. The tool in my research work is the analysis of patients' medical records in terms of the Barthel scale.
Results. The analysis of the obtained own research allowed for the formulation of the following results:
Gender has a significant impact on the mobility of the examined people. Age has a significant influence on the possibility of washing and bathing the whole body. There is a significant relationship between where older people live and the ability to use the toilet.
Conclusions. The level of stress, measured one year after the outbreak of the pandemic, does not indicate excessive stress, but the adaptation phase in a crisis situation. The effects of working under chronic stress may not be visible until the future. Further stress monitoring and providing nursing staff with psychological support is highly advisable.
