Abstract

Mentalno je zdravlje važna sastavnica cjelokupnog zdravlja svakog čovjeka koja ima učinak na sve aspekte njegovog života pa tako i na razdoblje studiranja. Razdoblje studiranja razdoblje je koje sa sobom donosi niz novih iskustava, upoznavanje novih osoba, stjecanje novih prijateljstava te završavanje procesa odrastanja. Zbog toga, to razdoblje života može biti stresno i zahtjevno i stoga je briga za mentalno zdravlje važan aspekt kako bi se student mogao nositi sa svim izazovima koje studiranje pred njega stavlja. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u doživljaj studenata diplomskog studija socijalnog rada o učinku završavanja studija na mentalno zdravlje studenata. Sudionici istraživanja bile su studentice diplomskog studija socijalnog rada Studijskog centra socijalnog rada na Pravnom fakultetu u Zagrebu. Metoda primijenjena za prikupljanje podataka bila je polustrukturirani intervju, a za obradu podataka korištena je tematska analiza. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako se kod studenata javljaju pomiješani osjećaji vezani uz završavanje studija – s jedne strane osjećaju uzbuđenje i sreću zbog završavanja studija, ali također osjećaju strah, stres i anksioznost zbog budućnosti. Studenti V. godinu nisu doživjeli stresnom u smislu težine gradiva i ispita, ali stresno im je bilo kolidiranje različitih obveza i potreba za njihovim usklađivanjem. S tim izazovima studenti su se nosili primjenjujući različite strategije učenja i suočavanja sa stresom. Najviše podrške tijekom studija studenti su najčešće dobili od najbližih osoba iz svoje okoline. Nekim sudionicama nedostatak podrške od upravo tih osoba je jedna od većih poteškoća s kojom su se nosile. Sudionice ističu određene preporuke za unaprjeđenje podrške studentima te navode potrebu za većom uključenosti fakulteta, studentskog savjetovališta i Društva studenata socijalnog rada u podršku te nužnim smatraju podršku, pomoć i razumijevanje osoba iz studentove najuže okoline.

Abstract (english)

Mental health is a very important component of the overall health of every person, which has an effect on all aspects of their life, including attending college. Attending college is a period of life that brings a lot of new experiences, meeting new people, making new friends and it is also the end of the process of growing up. Because of all of that college can be a period of life that is very stressful and demanding. Taking care of mental health is an important aspect in order for the students to cope with all the challenges that college brings. The aim of this study was to gain insight into the experience of graduate social work students on the effect of finalizing a master degree on mental health of students. Participants are graduate students of the Department of Social Work at the Faculty of Law in Zagreb. The method of data collection used is semi-structured interview, and the thematic analysis is used for data analysis. The results showed that students are experiencing different feelings about finalizing a master degree – on one hand they feel excitement and happiness but they also feel fear, stress and anxiety about the future. College students did not feel their last year of college was stressful as a result of the learning materials and exams, but mostly because of overlapping obligations and trying to get them all done in time for the deadlines. Students have faced these challenges by using different learning strategies and strategies for coping with stress. They received the most support from the people closest to them, but also for some students the lack of that kind of support was the biggest difficulty they had to face. Recommendations of the participants for improving the support for students are greater involvment of college administration, student counseling center and Society of Social Work Students and they also think that support, help and understanding from the student's closest surrounding are necessary.
