Abstract

U ovom radu teorijski su obrađeni koncepti migracija i mentalnog zdravlja, kao i mogućnosti
socijalnog rada u tom području. Migracije sežu u daleku povijest čovječanstva, no tek
relativno nedavni masovni migracijski procesi potaknuli su znanstvenike na intenzivno
istraživanje utjecaja migracija na mentalno zdravlje migranata. Razna istraživanja dokazuju
kako proces migracije može imati intenzivan utjecaj na mentalno zdravlje migranata,
većinom stvarajući izazovne poteškoće mentalnog zdravlja poput depresije i raznih
anksioznih poremećaja. Na razvoj mentalnih poremećaja utječe postojanje različitih
čimbenika najčešće kategoriziranih kao individualni, socijalni i ekonomski te okolišni.
Socijalni rad djeluje na osnovi principa socijalne pravde, ljudskih prava, kolektivne
odgovornosti i poštivanja različitosti, promiče društvene promjene i socijalnu koheziju te
osnažuje pojedinca u prevladavanju životnih izazova i povećanju blagostanja. Prema tome,
nedvojbeno može pridonijeti ublažavanju posljedica migracije i tranzitnom razdoblju
prilagodbe migranata novoj okolini.

Abstract (english)

This paper theoretically covers concepts of migration and mental health, as well as the
possibilities of social work within that area. Migration is known even in the distant history of
mankind, but only relatively recent mass migration processes have prompted scientists to
intensively study the impact of migration on the mental health of migrants. Various studies
prove that the migration process can have an intense impact on the mental health of
migrants, mostly creating challenging mental health difficulties such as depression and
various anxiety disorders. Development of mental disorders is influenced by the existence of
various factors most often categorized as individual, social and economic, and
environmental. Social work operates on the principles of social justice, human rights,
collective responsibility and respect for diversity, promotes social change and social
cohesion, and empowers individuals to overcome life's challenges and increase well-being.
Therefore, it can undoubtedly contribute to mitigating the consequences of migration and the
transit period of migrants adapting to the new environment.
