| Abstract | Ciljevi istraživanja: Ciljevi su ovog istraživanja ispitati pojavnost socijalne anksioznosti u studenata Medicinskog fakulteta u Osijeku te utjecaj socijalne anksioznosti na uspješnost izvršavanja studentskih obveza. Nacrt studije: Presječna studija Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno na 120 studenata obaju spolova, medijana dobi 23 godine. Pomoću digitalnog upitnika bilježeni su dob, spol, godina studija, postojanje dijagnoze mentalne ili kronične tjelesne bolesti, mentalne bolesti u obitelji, broj braće i sestara te redoslijed rođenja u obitelji. Nakon toga ispitanici su popunjavali upitnik Američkog udruženja psihijatara, u kojem su odabirali ponuđene intenzitete tjelesnih i mentalnih pojava povezanih sa socijalnom anksioznošću te Liebowitzevu skalu socijalne anksioznosti, u kojoj su navedene specifične situacije koje izazivaju napade anksioznosti i izbjegavanja. Za statističku analizu korišten je statistički program MedCalc Statistical Software version 19.1.7 (MedCalc Software Ltd, Ostend, Belgium; https://www.medcalc.org; 2020). Rezultati: Prema skali Američkog udruženja psihijatara socijalna se anksioznost pojavljuje u različitom spektru kod 52,5 % ispitanika (4,1 % ukupnog broja pripada teškoj i ekstremnoj skupini). Liebowitzeva skala pokazuje da kod 30 % ispitanika postoji pojava nekog oblika socijalne anksioznosti, pri čemu je trećina teška i vrlo teška. Spearmanovim koeficijentom (Rho = -0,203 P = 0,03 za 1. skalu i Rho = -0,215 P = 0,02 za Liebowitzevu skalu) primijećena je negativna povezanost prosjeka ocjena s pojavnošću socijalne anksioznosti, što pokazuje da jači stupanj socijalne anksioznosti negativno djeluje na ocjene. Zaključak: Socijalna se anksioznost pojavljuje kod značajnog broja studenata Medicinskog fakulteta u Osijeku te ona negativno djeluje na uspjeh studenata. |
