| Sažetak | Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost nepovoljnih životnih događaja u djetinjstvu sa stupnjem depresivnosti, anksioznosti, stresa te stupnjem samopoštovanja studenata. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 236 studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Sudionici istraživanja ispunili su Upitnik nepovoljnih životnih događaja u djetinjstvu (Felliti i sur., 1998), Skalu depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa (Lovibond i Lovibond, 1995), Skalu samosviđanja i samokompetentnosti (Tafarodi i Swann, 2001) te su odgovarali na neka sociodemografska pitanja. Rezultati pokazuju kako oko 80% sudionika ima barem jedan doživljeni nepovoljni događaj u djetinjstvu, a jedna trećina njih ima 4 ili više takvih događaja. Najčešće doživljeni događaj je emocionalno zanemarivanje (48.1%), koje slijede usamljenost (46.6%), život s ukućaninom s poteškoćama mentalnog zdravlja (27.7%) i psihičko zlostavljanje (26.8%). Pronađena je povezanost između broja nepovoljnih životnih događaja i stupnja depresivnosti, anksioznosti te stresa, pri čemu osobe s većim brojem nepovoljnih događaja, imaju viši stupanj depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa, što je u skladu s rezultatima prijašnjih rezultata. Što se tiče povezanosti nepovoljnih životnih događaja u djetinjstvu i samopoštovanja studenata, nije nađena statistički značajna povezanost. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju da su iskustva nepovoljnih životnih događaja u djetinjstvu prisutna u životima studenata te je stoga potrebno provesti daljnja istraživanja kako bi se dobili rezultati na reprezentativnom uzorku studenata te se ispitale njihove potrebe u zaštiti mentalnog zdravlja. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and the degree of depression, anxiety, stress and self-esteem of students. 236 students from the University of Zagreb participated in the research study. Research participants completed The Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire (Felliti et al., 1998), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, DASS- 21 (Lovibond and Lovibond, 1995), Self-Liking/Self-Competence Scale-Revised Version (Tafarodi and Swann, 2001), and responded to questions about their sociodemographic characteristics. The results show that about 80% of respondents have experienced at least one adverse childhood event, and one third of them have 4 or more such events. The most common event was emotional neglect (48.1%), followed by loneliness (46.6%), living with a household member with mental health problems (27.7%), experienced psychological violence (26.8%), experienced peer violence (21.7%), household member with addiction (19.6%), family poverty for more than two years (18.7%), experienced physical violence (10.2%) experienced sexual abuse (9.4%). Physical neglect (7.7%), living in a dangerous neighborhood (2.6%) and the experience of exile (1.3%) were experienced the least. A statistically positive correlation was found between the number of adverse childhood experiences and the level of depression, anxiety and stress, with persons with a higher number of adverse events having a higher level of depression, anxiety and stress, which is consistent with the results of previous research. Regarding the correlation of adverse childhood experiences and student self-esteem, no statistically significant correlation was found. The obtained results indicate that the experiences of adverse life events in childhood are present in the lives of students and it is necessary to conduct further research to obtain results on a representative sample of students who examined their needs in mental health care. |
