13、the research work. This approach has the potential to address the needs of older persons as felt by the older persons themselves, in their own environment and during a long period of time. Qualitative research methodolog

15、e are 12 major administrative units in Albania referred to as prefectures).Overall, 12 focus groups were conducted one in each prefecture of Albania. The overall number of participants in the focus groups was 107 (on ave

17、n anonymous manner (i.e. all identifying information including participants names was removed).Immediately after each focus group discussion, the facilitator and note taker met with each-other in order to review the main

18、 themes of the</p><p>　　discussion. The main patterns of responses were subsequently summarized. Responses from the discussions were analyzed by arranging the min the general categories identified in the int

24、of old people: </p><p>　　According to participants in the focus groups, the elderly people in Albania face many financial challenges and socioeconomic problems which are worsened by the rapid transition from

25、 a centralized system towards a market-oriented economy which is associated with serious difficulties for this vulnerable segment of the population. Old people feel even more frustrated from the fact that both the local

26、and central institutions (such as e.g. the National Institute of Statistics) claim that elderly pe</p><p>　　Elderly people expressed similar concerns, problems and distress related to their poor socioeconomi

27、c conditions. The lack of money even for simple survival was one of the key complaints in almost all of the focus group discussions. Thus, old people reported that after they pay the bills for electricity and running wat

28、er, they are left with insufficient money for food and essential medications which they need for treatment of several chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular </p><p>　　Health status of

29、 old people: </p><p>　　Similar concerns were expressed by elderly people with regard to the health status and health care services. Elderly people residing in urban areas have a better access to health care

30、services, whereas those living in rural areas face serious difficulties to access health services. The lack of afford ability of medications is a serious concern expressed by almost all elderly persons. Thus, the vast ma

31、jority of elderly people have no money to buy the prescribed drugs. Those who can afford have ne</p><p>　　Self-perceived image and social position of old people:</p><p>　　According to perception

32、s of old people, historically, the elderly have been respected and well-recognized in the Albanian society. They have been appreciated for their authoritative work, wisdom, dignity and experience accumulated during their

33、 lifetime. However, according to old peoples feelings and perceptions from focus group discussions, this is not the case in the new system (alias the transitional period from the former communist regime into a market-ori

34、ented system)where old people feel th</p><p>　　Thus, regarding social contacts and social networks, elderly people tended to express family and community negligence. The lack of sufficient respect is the mos

35、t frustrating issue according to the perceptions and feelings of elderly people. Most of the elderly people reported that they hardly get any chances to actively contribute and to be included</p><p>　　in dif

36、ferent community activities and programs. Elderly people feel that their voice is totally neglected and nobody cares about their opinion. In conclusion, it was felt during the focus groups discussions that elderly people

37、 in Albania have no effective means of social participation.</p><p>　　Violence and abuse against old people: </p><p>　　According to old people in Albania, there is a lot of psychological abuse a

38、nd even physical violence that they currently suffer. Nevertheless, in the context of the Albanian society it is difficult to identify and address the issues related to abuse and violence against elderly. This is mainly

39、due to the old traditions and mentality according to which such problems related to violence and abuse should be confined within household boundaries. </p><p>　　Yet, several old people stated that they are a

40、ware of some key findings and reports from different surveys, according to which it was shown that the violence against old people in Albania is not trivial. Thus, in a focus group it was mentioned that prior reports in

41、Albania had demonstrated that daughters in law were responsible for 25.5% of cases of elderly abuse, son in law were responsible for 18.8%, own children were responsible for 12.5% of the cases, nephews and nieces for 17.
