Abstract

Mucanje je, zbog vidljivih verbalnih smetnji i popratnih pojava, najteži govorni poremećaj, koji
utječe na sve aspekte čovjekova života. Uzrok mu se može tražiti u više faktora, od genetskih,
sve do okolinskih i društvenih. Unatoč velikim problemima koje ono može uzrokovati u životu,
osoba koja pati od ovog poremećaja mora pronaći načine nošenja sa time, kako bi mogla voditi
normalan i kvalitetan život.
Cilj ovog rada bio je dobiti uvid u svakodnevni život osoba koje mucaju, odnosno u iskustva iz
njihovog privatnog i poslovnog života, kao i u iskustva s rehabilitacijskim sustavom podrške.
Dobiveni su rezultati koji ukazuju na pozitivan i negativan aspekt mucanja na život sudionica
u pogledu odnosa s primarnom obitelji, prijateljima i partnerima, kao i na odnos s nastavnicima
i nadređenima na radnom mjestu.
Rezultati pokazuju kako iskustva sudionica istraživanja ukazuju na negativne ishode koje
sudionice doživljavaju u svijetu rada i zapošljavanja i to kod: dobivanja posla ili napredovanja
na poslu. Dodatno, sudionice ističu i važnost osobnih karakteristika osobe koja muca, kao i
karakteristika posla i poslodavca. Također, sudionici govore o neučinkovitosti klasične
logopedske terapije, te ističu kvalitete VaLMod terapije koja je prema njihovom mišljenju
najbolji rehabilitacijski program za smanjivanje intenziteta mucanja. U pogledu specifičnosti
svakodnevnog života, sudionice govore o postojanju određenih strahova (strah od ruganja,
strah od javnog govora, strah od negativnog utjecaja mucanja na posao) i metoda nošenja s
mucanjem kao što su samootkrivanje, samopouzdanje, ubacivanje riječi i vjera.
Potrebna su daljnja znanstveno stručna istraživanja koja će unaprijediti spoznaje iz ovog
područja.

Abstract (english)

Due to it's visible verbal disturbances and side effects, stuttering is the most severe speech
disorder, that affects all aspects of a person's life. It's source can be found in a number of
factors, including genetics and environment. Despite big problems it can cause, a person
suffering of this disorder must find ways of coping, in order to have a normal life.
Purpose of this paper is to gain knowledge of these people's experiences concerning their
private and work life, as well as the experiences concerning speech rehabilitation. The results
indicate both, positive and negative impact of stuttering on the lives of participants in the areas
of relationships with their prime family, friends, partners, teachers and employers.
Results show that experiences of the participants indicate negative outcomes they have in their
work life which is foremost in the areas of getting employed and getting a promotion. In
addition, participants highlight the importance of personal characteristics of the person who
stutter, work place and employer. Also, participants report ineffectivenes of classic speech
therapies and emphasize the qualities of the VaLMod therapy as the best speech rehabilitation
program for stutter reduction.
In the aspect of everyday life these participants talk of some specific fears (fear of public speech,
fear of being rediculed, fear of negative effect of stuttering on their job) and coping methods,
such as self-exposing, selfconfidence, insertion of words and religion.
In conclusion, further scientific-professional research is necessary, in order to improve the
knowledge about this topic.
