U istraživanju je sudjelovalo šezdeset i devet muškaraca i žena ispunjavajući online Upitnik o percepciji traženja psihološke pomoći-tehnika dovršavanja priče, osmišljen u svrhu provedbe ovog istraživanja. Kvalitativnom tematskom analizom triju zadataka dovršavanja priče identificirano je sedam krovnih tema koje se odnose na percepciju traženja psihološke pomoći u tri problemske situacije. Pet krovnih tema je prisutno u sve tri problemske situacije, a to su: Savjetovanje zlata vrijedi, Savjetovanje nije čudotvorna pilula, Problem treba riješiti bez psihološke pomoći, Kamenje spoticanja pri traženju psihološke pomoći i Vjetar u leđa pri traženju psihološke pomoći. Dvije krovne teme nisu prisutne u sve tri problemske situacije. Jedna od tih tema je Psihološka pomoć je za nježniji spol iz situacije Nezaposlenosti, kojoj je srodna krovna tema Ženama je lakše otvoriti se iz situacije Partnerskih problema te tema Gorke posljedice ne traženja psihološke pomoći specifična za situaciju Depresije. Iz dobivenih nalaza vidljivo je kako psihološka pomoć ima čimbenike koji privlače i one koji odbijaju ljude od ideje traženja psihološke pomoći. Kvantitativnom obradom ustanovljeno je kako sudionici izvještavaju najmanju namjeru odlaska na savjetovanje u situaciji Nezaposlenosti, zatim nešto veću u situaciji Partnerskih problema te najveću u situaciji Depresije. Dodatno, nešto više od jedne trećine sudionika ima neposredno iskustvo s traženjem psihološke pomoći s kojim je većina zadovoljna, dok nešto više od polovice sudionika ima posredno iskustvo s traženjem psihološke pomoći. Procijenjeno zadovoljstvo bliske osobe iskustvom psihološke pomoći varira u našim podacima, no i dalje mali broj njih je djelomično ili izrazito nezadovoljan. Nalazi ovog istraživanja nude korisne informacije za programe intervencije koji su usmjereni na informiranje i približavanje psihološkog savjetovanja ljudima srednje dobi.
Abstract (english) The aim of this research is to describe and better understand how middle aged people perceive seeking psychological help in three key problematic situations: Unemployment, Relationship problems and Depression. Sixty-nine men and women took part in the study by filling out the „Perception of seeking psychological help – story completion task” online questionnaire, designed specifically for this research study. Using qualitative thematic analysis of the three story completion tasks we've identified seven superordinate themes relating to the perception of asking for counseling in three key problematic situations. The following five of these themes are present in all the three situations: Counseling is worth one's salt, Counseling is not a magic pill, The problem should be solved without asking for counseling, Stumbling blocks in psychological help seeking and A wind at one's back when seeking psychological help. Two superordinate themes are not present in all three problem situations. The first one is Psychological help for the gentler gender from the situation of Unemployment, which is related to the theme It is easier for women to open up from the situation of Partner problems, and second theme being The bitter consequences of not seeking psychological help specific to Depression. According to our findings it's evident that psychological help has both facilitating and inhibiting factors for people seeking psychological help. With quantitative analysis it was established that the participants reported the lowest intent of going to counseling in the event of unemployment, somewhat larger in the event of partner problems and the largest in the event of depression. Additionally, over one third of participants have had firsthand experience with seeking psychological help, with the majority of them being satisfied, while over half of the participants have had secondhand experience with seeking psychological help. The evaluated level of satisfaction with the experience of psychological help of the close person in question varies. Still, the number of partially or extremely unsatisfied people is very low. The findings of this research provide useful information for a variety of intervention programs focused on informing and familiarizing middle aged people with psychological counseling.
