Title Informiranost javnosti o logopedskoj djelatnosti Title (english) Public awareness about speech and language pathology Author Dora Pribanić Mentor Draženka Blaži (mentor)Committee member Draženka Blaži (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Mladen Hedjever (član povjerenstva)Committee member Emica Farago (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zagreb Defense date and country 2017-07-04, Croatia Scientific / art field, SOCIAL SCIENCES Abstract Logopedija je djelatnost koja podrazumijeva prevenciju, probir, procjenu, dijagnostiku, terapiju, savjetovanje i znanstveno istraživanje poremećaja komunikacije i gutanja osoba svih životnih dobi. To je mlada i brzo razvijajuća znanost koja se neprestano mijenja, a poseban se naglasak u suvremenoj logopediji stavlja na prevenciju i ranu intervenciju. Budući da nedostaje istraživanja u Hrvatskoj i svijetu na temu informiranosti javnosti o logopedskoj djelatnosti, provedeno je istraživanje informiranosti hrvatske javnosti. Ciljevi ovog rada bili su opisati informiranost javnosti o logopedskoj djelatnosti te usporediti informiranost između dvije skupine ispitanika (Laici i Stručnjaci). Ispitanici su, dakle, bili podijeljeni u dvije skupine: Laici (N=570) i Stručnjaci-osobe koje rade s istim ili sličnim populacijama kao i logopedi (N=447). Svi su ispitanici ispunili upitnik osmišljen za ovo istraživanje, a podaci su se prikupljali od siječnja do travnja 2017. godine. Prilikom statističke obrade podataka, izračunata je deskriptivna statistika za sve varijable, a za utvrđivanje razlika među skupinama ispitanika korišten je neparametrijski hi-kvadrat test budući da su sve varijable bile izražene u nominalnim ljestvicama. Rezultati su pokazali kako su i Laici i Stručnjaci dobro upoznati s logopedskom djelatnosti, budući da su na većinu pitanja odgovorili u skladu s navodima iz literature. Ipak, pokazali su nedovoljnu informiranost o dječjim razvojnim miljokazima. Također, u skupini Laika pokazalo se da iskustvo s logopedskim intervencijama ima mali utjecaj na informiranost, dok dob ima veću ulogu; mlađi ispitanici (mlađi od 30 godina) pokazali su nešto veću informiranost u odnosu na starije ispitanike. Nadalje, na pola ispitanih varijabli potvrđena je statistički značajna razlika između dvije skupine ispitanika, od čega je većina razlika dokazana u korist Stručnjaka. Dakle, može se zaključiti da Stručnjaci nisu informiraniji od Laika (budući da se statistički značajna razlika u njihovi korist dokazala na tek 23 od 56 varijabli), što je suprotno očekivanjima. Rezultati dobiveni u ovom istraživanju mogu se iskoristiti za osmišljavanje ciljane primarne prevencije u logopediji što bi doprinijelo većoj informiranosti o logopedskoj djelatnosti u budućnosti.
Abstract (english) Speech-language pathology (SLP) is a profession which domains include prevention, screening, evaluation, diagnostics, therapy, counseling and research of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. It is a young, dynamic and changing profession. Nowadays, the prevention and early intervention are emphasized in modern SLP. Since there is a lack of researches about public awareness about SLP in both Croatia and the world, a research about public awareness about SLP in Croatia was conducted. The aims of this research were to describe public awareness about SLP and compare the awareness between two groups of respondents (Laics and Professionals). So, the respondents were divided into two groups: Laics (N=570) and Professionals (N=447)-people who deal with the same or similar populations as speech language pathologists (SLPs) do. Every respondent filled out the questionnaire designed for this purpose, and the data was collected between January and April in the year of 2017. For the purpose of the statistic analysis, descriptive statistics of every variable and nonparametric chi-square test were conducted, considering all of the variables were expressed in nominal scales. The results have shown that both Laics and Professionals are informed quite well, considering they answered on most questions accordingly to literature. However, they have shown poor awareness about children’s milestones. Moreover, for the group of Laics, it was shown that the experience with SLP services has a small impact on awareness, while age has a greater impact; younger respondents (younger than 30 years of age) were more aware about SLP than the older respondents. In addition, a statistically significant difference between two groups of respondents was found on half of the variables. Most of these variables were in favor of Professionals. Therefore, it may be concluded that the Professionals are not more aware than the Laics (since there was a statistically significant difference in their favor on only 23 of 56 variables), which was unexpected. The results derived from this research can be used to design targeted primary prevention in SLP which would contribute to higher awareness about SLP.
