Posledice poplav 2023 v savinjski regiji na duševno zdravje in študij študentov, ki so jih prizadele poplave

Kodrič, Marika (avtor), Pistotnik, Sara (mentor)

V diplomskem delu sem raziskovala posledice poplav 2023 v savinjski regiji na duševno zdravje in študij študentov, ki so jih prizadele poplave. Zanimalo me je kakšne duševne stiske so prizadeti študenti doživljali po poplavah, kateri dejavniki so prispevali k stopnji stresa, tesnobe in drugih duševnih stisk, katere strategije obvladovanja duševnih stisk so uporabili študenti, kako so duševne stiske vplivale na akademsko uspešnost in študijske obveznosti študentov ter kakšno vlogo so imele univerze, centri za socialno delo in druge institucije ali organizacije pri nudenju podpore pri duševnih stiskah in študiju. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila izredne razmere in poplave, ki so Slovenijo prizadele avgusta 2023. Nadaljevala sem s pisanjem o duševnem zdravju v izrednih razmerah, psihosocialni pomoči in socialnem delu, nato pa sem podrobneje predstavila psihosocialno pomoč, ki je bila nudena po poplavah 2023 in v katero so bili vključeni tudi centri za socialno delo. Sledi krajše poglavje o duševnem zdravju v savinjski regiji. Teoretični uvod sem zaključila s predstavitvijo duševnega zdravja študentov. V empiričnem delu sem predstavila ugotovitve, do katerih sem prišla z metodo spraševanja. Opravila sem osem delno standardiziranih intervjujev. Raziskava je kvalitativna in empirična, uporabila pa sem neslučajnostni, priročni vzorec. Spoznala sem, da so poplave avgusta 2023 pri večini študentov negativno vplivale na duševno zdravje. Študenti so doživljali depresivne občutke, povezane z materialnimi izgubami in negotovostjo glede sanacije škode in prihodnosti, občutke nemoči, skrb za druge, tesnobo in anksioznost, ki se je manifestirala kot strah pred ponovnimi poplavami in tesnoba ob deževju. Študenti so stiske čutili različno dolgo časa, pri nekaterih je stiska še prisotna. Ugotovila sem, da so študenti najpogosteje uporabili neformalne strategije pomoči, a je bila izražena tudi potreba po formalni obliki pomoči. Duševne stiske so kot posledica poplav 2023 pri nekaterih študentih negativno vplivale na akademsko uspešnost in študijske obveznosti. Najpogosteje so imeli težave s pomanjkanjem motivacije, zbranostjo, koncentracijo in sledenjem snovi. Univerza v Ljubljani in določene študentske organizacije so študentom nudile pomoč, kot so prilagoditev študijskih obveznosti, podaljšanje statusa, subvencijo za bivanje v študentskih domovih in finančno podporo. Ugotovila sem, da kljub vzpostavljeni formalni psihosocialni pomoči na državni ravni, v katero so bili vključeni tudi centri za socialno delo, intervjuvani študenti niso prejeli tovrstne oblike pomoči.

• Naslov: The impact of the 2023 floods in the Savinja region on the mental health and studies of students affected by the flood

Izvleček

In my bachelor's thesis, I researched the impact of the 2023 floods in the Savinja region on the mental health and studies of students affected by the floods. I was interested in what mental distress affected students experienced after the floods, which factors contributed to their levels of stress, anxiety, and other mental distress, what coping strategies students used for mental distress, how mental distress affected students' academic performance and study obligations, and what role universities, social work centers, and other institutions or organizations played in providing support for mental distress and studies.In the theoretical part, I presented emergency situations and floods, specifically the floods that affected Slovenia in August 2023. I continued by writing about mental health in emergency situations, psychosocial assistance, and social work, and then I presented in more detail the psychosocial assistance provided after the 2023 floods, in which social work centers were also involved. This is followed by a shorter chapter on mental health in the Savinja region. I concluded the theoretical introduction with a presentation on student mental health. In the empirical part, I presented the findings I obtained through the interviewing method. I conducted eight semi-structured interviews. The research is qualitative and empirical, and I used a non-probability, convenience sample. I found that the August 2023 floods negatively impacted the mental health of most students. Students experienced depressive feelings related to material losses and uncertainty about recovery and the future, feelings of helplessness, worry for others, and anxiety, which manifested as fear of recurrent floods and anxiety during rainfall. Students felt this distress for varying lengths of time, and for some, the distress is still present. I found that students most often used informal support strategies, but a need for formal support was also expressed. Mental distress resulting from the 2023 floods negatively impacted the academic performance and study obligations of some students. They most commonly experienced difficulties with lack of motivation, focus, concentration, and following course material. The University of Ljubljana and certain student organizations offered students assistance, such as adjustments to study obligations, student status extensions, subsidies for accommodation in student dormitories, and financial support. I found that despite the establishment of formal psychosocial assistance at the national level, which also involved social work centers, the interviewed students did not receive this type of assistance.
