Abstract

Ovaj rad se bavi stigmatizacijom osoba s duševnim smetnjama s posebnim naglaskom na stigmatizaciju od strane studenata socijalnog rada kao budućih stručnjaka u području mentalnog zdravlja. Povodom toga, provedeno je istraživanje na 115 studenata Studijskog centra socijalnog rada, Pravnog fakulteta u Zagrebu. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati razlike u razini stigmatizacije osoba s duševnim smetnjama kod studenata socijalnog rada obzirom na educiranost i socijalni kontakt s navedenom populacijom. Obzirom da studenti tijekom studija pohađaju razne kolegije i obavljaju praktičnu nastavu kojima kumuliraju znanja i iskustva iz područja mentalnog zdravlja, nastojalo se provjerit postoje li razlike u stavovima prema osobama s duševnim smetnjama između studenata koji su tek počeli studirati, odnosno onih na prvoj godini preddiplomskog studija i onih na završnoj godini studija, odnosno na prvoj godini diplomskog studija. Također, ispitivane su i razlike u stavovima obzirom na to jesu li ispitanici s oboljelim osobama prethodno imali socijalni kontakt. Dobiveni rezultati pretežito su u skladu s prijašnjim istraživanjima i spoznajama pa je tako kod studenata na prvoj godini diplomskog studija uočena niža razina stigmatizirajućih stavova, isto kao i kod studenata koji su prijavili da su bili u socijalnom kontaktu s oboljelim osobama. No, samo putem rada, volontiranja ili posjeta institucijama, udrugama ili drugim organizacijama koje skrbe o osobama s duševnim smetnjama, a ne i putem veza u njihovoj bližoj okolini. Zaključuje se da prostor za napredak postoji, a može se ostvariti putem unaprjeđenja nastavnog programa i praktične nastave.

Abstract (english)

This final thesis represents the issue of stigmatization of people with mental disorders with special emphasis on stigmatization by social work students as future professionals in the field of mental health. On this occasion, a survey was conducted on 115 students of the Social Work Study Center, Faculty of Law in Zagreb. The aim of the research was to examine the differences in the level of stigmatization of people with mental disorders among social work students, considering the level of education and social contact with the said population. Considering that students attend various courses during their studies and carry out practical classes that accumulate knowledge and experience in the field of mental health, an effort was made to check whether there are differences in attitudes towards people with mental disorders between students who have just started studying, that is, those in the first year of undergraduate studies and those in the final year of studies, i.e. in the first year of graduate studies. Also, differences in attitudes regarding whether respondents had previous social contact with people with mental disorder were examined. The obtained results are mostly in accordance with previous research and findings, so a lower level of stigmatizing attitudes was observed among students in the first year of graduate studies, as well as among students who reported that they had social contact. But only through work, volunteering or visiting institutions, associations or other organizations that take care of people with mental disorders, and not through connections in their immediate environment. It is concluded that there is room for improvement and it can be achieved by improving the curriculum and practical classes.
