Our study aims to examine whether managers in elderly care areworking from a salutogenic approach to create a dignified life forthe residents. By this we are trying to find out how you look at lifein dignity and what meaning it has, what similarities and whatdifferences there are. We also want to explore what they want toachieve with their work and what they do to enable it. Thequestions we asked ourselves what the salutogenic approach is formanagers working in nursing homes. How do they look at a decentlife and we ask ourselves the question of the salutogenic approachis just a "buzzword" in a working man always had or there are realdifferences? The method we have chosen to use is a web-basedquestionnaire that we sent to our sample. To get the most from sucha high response rate as possible, we also sent out a few reminders.The result we got shows in as many as 98% of the managers knowwhat a salutogenic approach involves the remaining 2% had partialknowledge of its meaning, the loss we had may be because therespondents did not know what the term meant. The majority 67%of respondents had been in contact with the concept sometimebetween 2000 -2012, which can be attached to the dignity of theinvestigation that led to a legislative change in the SOL Chapter 5 §4 of the elderly and their quality of life, the theory of ethicalperspectives we have chosen to analyze answers aregerotranscendence, activity theory, Maslow's theory andempowerment theory. Conclusions we have found in this study isthat many activities have the objective of becoming moreindividual-based and in an effort that the residents should be able tofeel the dignity and quality of life. Our interpretation of this studyis that the salutogenic approach is a buzzword.
