The authors reviewed research projects addressing the influence of social networks on health of general and elderly population, conducted in the world over the pastdecades. Specific features of links established between social networks in Slovenia are presented, with special emphasis on changes in the provision of social support to the older population during illness. Methods: Empirical data from research conducted in Slovenia in the years 1987 and 2002 are analysed. Owing to limited comparability of the indicators measured and because of the small number of respondents in 1987, only simple bivariate comparisons using significance tests for nominal variables were done. Results: Social networks provide support in the case of illness. Data for 1987and 2000 identified close family as the most important source of social support. In 2002, however, the role of the partner and parents as providers ofsupport was significantly diminished, while the support role played by the extended family, neighbours and friends became more important. The role of thepartner as the source of support was more diminished for women than for men. Other changes in social networks were connected with marital status, educational level and age of the respondents. Conclusions: Further research into the role of social networks providing support during illness will increase the understanding of this phenomenon in a comparative perspectiveIzhodišče: Članek obravnava povezavo med socialnimi omrežji in njihovo vlogo pri nudenju opore v primeru bolezni. Uvodoma je obravnavan vpliv socialnih omrežij na zdravje splošne in starejše populacije, kot ga ugotavljajo študije po svetu v zadnjih desetletjih. Drugi del se usmeri na specifiko teh povezav vsocialnih omrežjih v Sloveniji. Posebej obravnava spremembe omrežja socialne opore v primeru bolezni pri starejših ljudeh. Metode: Analiza empiričnih podatkov anketnih raziskav v Sloveniji v letih 1987 in 2002. Zaradi različnih načinov merjenja ustreznih kazalcev v dveh letih opazovanja in sorazmerno majhnega števila anketirancev v letu 1987 je bila možna le najenostavnejša bivariatna analiza primerjave z uporabo testa značilnosti razlik za nominalne spremenljivke. Rezultati: Socialna omrežja nudijo oporo v primeru bolezni. Primerjava podatkov med letoma 1987 in 2002 kaže, da je v obeh letih najpomembnejši dajalec opore ožja družina, a se je v letu 2002 značilno zmanjšala vloga partnerja in staršev ter povečala vloga drugih sorodnikov ter sosedov in prijateljev. Pri ženskah je pomen partnerja kot dajalca opore v primeru bolezni upadel bolj kot pri moških, spremembe v omrežju pa so povezanetudi z zakonskim stanom, izobrazbo in starostjo anketirancev. Zaključek: Potrebno je nadaljnje proučevanje vloge socialnih omrežij v primerubolezni, ki bo osvetlilo ta pojav v primerjalni perspektiviTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaInštitut za varovanje zdravja RS
