20.500.12556/RUL-184636 Vloga in izzivi vzgojiteljev v bolnišničnih oddelkih diplomsko delo The role and challenges of preschool teachers in hospital settings Diplomsko delo obravnava vlogo in izzive vzgojiteljev, zaposlenih v bolnišničnih oddelkih. Ti imajo pomembno vlogo pri prilagajanju otrok novim razmeram, pri doživljanju bolnišničnega okolja, pri soočanju s strahom in stresom ter prispevajo k njihovemu boljšemu počutju. Njihova vloga pa je pogosto premalo raziskana. Pri svojem delu s hospitaliziranimi otroki se srečujejo z zahtevnimi pogoji in čustvenimi obremenitvami, zato je razumevanje njihove vloge ključno za izboljšanje pedagoškega procesa in dobrega počutja otrok med hospitalizacijo. V teoretičnem delu sem predstavila nekaj bolnišničnih oddelkov v Sloveniji, posebnost dela v bolnišničnem okolju, vpliv hospitalizacije na otroka in pomen igre, rutine ter čustvene podpore med zdravljenjem. Poseben poudarek je namenjen vlogi vzgojitelja pri zmanjševanju posledic hospitalizacije, sodelovanju z zdravstvenim osebjem in starši ter izzivom, s katerimi se vzgojitelji srečujejo pri svojem delu. Teoretična izhodišča poudarjajo, da hospitalizacija pri otroku pogosto povzroča strah, stres in občutek negotovosti, zato je prisotnost vzgojitelja pomembna za otrokovo dobro počutje, občutek varnosti in lažje prilagajanje na bolnišnično okolje. Empirični del temelji na kvalitativni raziskavi, izvedeni s pomočjo polstrukturiranih intervjujev s šestimi vzgojiteljicami, zaposlenimi v različnih bolnišničnih oddelkih v UKC Ljubljana. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, s kakšnimi pogoji se vzgojitelji srečujejo pri delu v bolnišničnem okolju, kako delo vpliva na njihovo čustveno počutje in čustveno odpornost, kako se njihovo delo razlikuje od dela v večinskih oddelkih in kakšna je njihova vloga pri zmanjševanju strahu in stresa pri hospitaliziranih otrocih. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da delo vzgojiteljev v bolnišničnem okolju zahteva veliko mero fleksibilnosti, prilagajanja in sodelovanja z zdravstvenim osebjem ter starši. Vzgojitelji se pogosto srečujejo s prostorskimi omejitvami, pogostimi prekinitvami med dejavnostmi zaradi zdravstvenih posegov in čustveno zahtevnimi situacijami. Kljub temu svoje delo doživljajo kot zelo pomembno in izpopolnjujoče. Raziskava je pokazala, da imajo pomembno vlogo tudi pri zmanjševanju strahu in stresa pri otroku, saj s pomočjo igre, glasbe, lutk in drugih dejavnosti otrokom nudijo občutek varnosti, podpore in normalnosti v času hospitalizacije. Ugotovitve kažejo, da delovne izkušnje pomembno vplivajo na razvoj čustvene odpornosti pri vzgojiteljih. Čez leta razvijejo različne strategije soočanja s stresom in čustvenimi obremenitvami, pri čemer igrajo pomembno vlogo podpora kolektiva, pogovor s sodelavci in drugim zdravstvenim osebjem ter osebne strategije sproščanja. Diplomsko delo opozarja na pomembnost vloge vzgojiteljev v bolnišničnih oddelkih in na potrebo po večji prepoznavnosti njihovega dela v slovenskem prostoru. The thesis explores the role and challenges of preschool teachers employed in hospital departments. They play an important role in helping children adapt to new circumstances, cope with the hospital environment, deal with fear and stress, and contribute to their overall well-being. Their role is often under-researched. In their work with hospitalized children, they face difficult conditions and emotional burdens, therefore, understanding their role is crucial for improving the pedagogical process and the well-being of children during hospitalization. The theoretical part presents several hospital departments in Slovenia, the specifics of working in a hospital environment, the impact of hospitalization on children, and the importance of play, routine, and emotional support during treatment. Special emphasis is placed on the role of preschool teachers in reducing the negative effects of hospitalization, cooperating with healthcare staff and parents and addressing the challenges they encounter in their work. The theoretical framework highlights that hospitalization often causes fear, stress, and feelings of insecurity in children, which makes the presence of preschool teachers important for children's well-being, sense of safety, and easier adaptation to the hospital environment. The empirical part is based on qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews with six preschool teachers employed in different hospital departments in UKC Ljubljana. The research aimed to determine the conditions preschool teachers face while working in hospital settings, how this work affects their emotional well-being and emotional resilience, how their work differs from work in regular preschool groups, and what role they play in reducing fear and stress in hospitalized children. The research results showed that working in a hospital environment requires a high level of flexibility, adaptability, and cooperation with healthcare staff and parents. Preschool teachers often face spatial limitations, frequent interruptions during activities due to medical procedures, and emotionally demanding situations. Despite this, they perceive their work as very meaningful and fulfilling. The research also showed that they play an important role in reducing fear and stress in children, as through play, music, puppets, and other activities they provide children with a sense of safety, support, and normality during hospitalization. The findings also indicate that work experience significantly contributes to the development of emotional resilience in preschool teachers. Over the years, they have developed various strategies for coping with stress and emotional burdens, with support from colleagues, communication with colleagues and other medical staff, and personal relaxation strategies play an important role. The diploma thesis highlights the importance of the role of preschool teachers in hospital departments and the need for greater recognition of their work in the Slovenian environment. bolnišnice vzgojitelji bolnišnični oddelki hospitalizirani otroci vzgojitelj v bolnišnici izzivi vloga vzgojitelja čustvena podpora čustvena odpornost hospital settings hospitalized children hospital educators challenges role of the educator emotional support emotional resilience true false false E.
