Abstract

U radu je prikazan pregled traumatskih iskustava u dječjoj dobi, posljedice rata na mentalno zdravlje djece te specifičnosti rada s djecom stradalnicima. Pregled istraživanja pokazuje zastupljenost posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja, anksioznosti, depresivnosti i psihoza kod djece stradalnika rata. Veća je zastupljenost tih poremećaja kod djece nego kod odraslih. Studije ukazuju da su razina izloženosti traumi, povijest psihičkih oboljenja i manjak socijalne podrške snažni prediktori psihopatologije kao posljedice traume. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na psihosocijalne programe utemeljene na dokazima i znanstvenim pokazateljima kao i na važnost pravovremene brige za mentalno zdravlje djece i mladih. Preporuke za rad upućuju na to da se radi i s roditeljima, ne samo s djecom, u zaštiti mentalnog zdravlja u stresnim životnim razdobljima

Abstract (english)

The article deals with traumatic experiences in childhood, the consequences of war on the mental health of children and specifics of working with war-affected children. The review of existing literature shows the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and psychosis among children exposed to armed conflict. There is a higher prevalence rate of mental disorders among children than among the general population. Studies suggest that level of exposure, evidence of psychopathology before trauma exposure, and disruption in social support networks consistently emerge as strong predictors of psychopathology following exposure to trauma. Importance of timely, long-term care for mental health in children and adults is also underlined. It is recommended that we consider working with the parents, not just children, in promoting children's mental health during times of stress.
