| Abstract | Ovim diplomskim radom htjela se ispitati zastupljenost depresivnih simptoma kod adolescenata. Osim toga, radom se htjelo saznati postoji li razlika u pojavnosti depresivne simptomatologije s obzirom na spol i dob sudionika. Istraživanje je provedeno u travnju i svibnju 2017. godine u tri srednje škole u gradu Zagrebu, u Školi za grafiku, dizajn i medijsku produkciju, Prvoj gimnaziji i Veterinarskoj školi. Uzorak spreman za obradu podataka sastojao se od 220 učenika, točnije 89 učenika iz Prve gimnazije, 90 učenika iz Škole za grafiku, dizajn i medijsku produkciju i 41 učenika iz Veterinarske škole. Istraživanje je dio pilota istraživanja projekta „Pozitivan razvoj adolescenata grada Zagreba: analiza stanja“, kojeg provodi Edukacijskorehabilitacijski fakultet, Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. U sklopu ovog projekta izrađena je baterija instrumenta od nekoliko skala, a kako bi se odgovorilo na postavljene probleme od cjelovitog instrumenta uzeti su u obzir: (1) Upitnik o demografskim podacima i (2) Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa-21. Sudjelovanje u istraživanju je bilo dobrovoljno i svakom sudioniku je zajamčena anonimnost. Ispitivanje je provedeno grupno za vrijeme nastave, metodom papir olovka. Rezultati govore o tome da kod nešto više od polovine ispitanika ne možemo govoriti o zastupljenosti depresivne simptomatologije, dok je kod 12,3% ispitanika depresivna simptomatologija prisutna u velikoj mjeri. U zastupljenosti depresivnih simptoma s obzirom na spol ne postoje razlike, odnosno podjednako ih doživljavaju i djevojke i mladići. Također, ne postoje razlike ni u zastupljenosti depresivne simptomatologije s obzirom na dob, a rezultati pokazuju da se depresivni simptomi naglo povećavaju s ulaskom u adolescenciju i opadaju s povećanjem dobi. |
