20.500.12556/RUL-189896 Doživljanje kmetovanja kot okupacije diplomsko delo Experiencing farming as an occupation diploma work Uvod: V kmetijstvu se poleg števila kmetij zmanjšuje tudi delež zaposlenih. Takšne spremembe imajo lahko pomembne posledice za kmete, ki se soočajo z ekonomskimi negotovostmi ter težavami na področju telesnega in duševnega zdravja. Kmetovanje številnim kmetom ne predstavlja le poklica, temveč način življenja, ki pomembno oblikuje njihovo identiteto. Z vidika delovne terapije lahko kmetovanje obravnavamo kot okupacijo, saj se delo tesno prepleta s kmetovim vsakdanjim življenjem, njegovimi vlogami in medosebnimi odnosi. Okupacije poglobljeno preučuje okupacijska znanost, ki posameznika preučuje kot okupacijsko bitje. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil raziskati, kako kmetje doživljajo kmetovanje kot svoje delo z vidika okupacijske znanosti ter kakšen pomen ima zanje vsakodnevno vključevanje v kmetijsko okolje. Metode dela: Uporabili smo kvalitativni raziskovalni pristop. S petimi kmeti, ki se aktivno ukvarjajo s kmetovanjem, smo izvedli poglobljene polstrukturirane intervjuje. Za dostop do sogovornikov smo uporabili metodo snežne kepe. Intervjuje smo dobesedno zapisali in jih kvalitativno vsebinsko analizirali. Rezultati: Raziskava je pokazala, da kmetovanje sodelujočim ne predstavlja zgolj poklica ali vira dohodka, temveč predvsem način življenja in pomemben del njihove identitete. Sodelujoči so kmetovanju pripisovali velik osebni pomen, povezan z občutki smisla, koristnosti, odgovornosti, ponosa, notranje motivacije in zadovoljstva. Obenem so opisali tudi stres, negotovost in različne obremenitve. Pomembna ugotovitev raziskave je, da ima družina osrednjo vlogo, ki kmetom predstavlja močan vir podpore, motivacije, sodelovanja in prenosa znanja. Med dejavniki, ki spodbujajo vključevanje v okupacijo, so sodelujoči izpostavili dobre sosedske odnose, družinsko in partnersko podporo, vero in močno željo po napredku. Kot ovire so navedli obsežno administrativno delo, birokracijo, fizične obremenitve, finančno negotovost, vremenske razmere, bolezni živali, pomanjkanje prostega časa in nerazumevanje kmetovanja v širši javnosti. Kljub navedenim izzivom so razvili različne strategije in prilagoditve za učinkovitejše soočanje z obremenitvami. Razprava in zaključek: Z vidika okupacijske znanosti lahko kmetovanje razumemo kot kompleksno in večplastno okupacijo, pri kateri se delo, družinsko življenje in prosti čas tesno prepletajo, zato jih je težko obravnavati ločeno. Diplomsko delo prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju kmetovanja kot okupacije in odpira možnosti za nadaljnje raziskovanje kmetov kot specifične populacije na področju okupacijske znanosti in delovne terapije. Introduction: As the number of farms decreases, so too does the proportion of people employed in agriculture. These changes can have significant consequences for farmers, who face challenges such as economic uncertainty and physical and mental health problems. For many farmers, farming is not just an occupation, but also a way of life and a significant part of their identity. From the perspective of occupational therapy, farming can be viewed as an occupation because work is closely intertwined with farmers’ everyday lives, their roles and interpersonal relationships. Occupational science examines occupations in depth and views individuals as occupational beings. Purpose: The purpose of this diploma thesis was to explore how farmers experience farming as their occupation from the perspective of occupational science and to examine the significance of their everyday involvement in the agricultural environment. Methods: A qualitative research approach was used, and in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with five farmers actively engaged in farming. Participants were recruited using snowball sampling. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The research showed that, for the participants, farming represents not merely an occupation or a source of income but primarily a way of life and an important part of their identity. Participants attached considerable personal importance to farming, associating it with a sense of purpose, usefulness, responsibility, pride, intrinsic motivation, and satisfaction. At the same time, they described experiences of stress, uncertainty, and various burdens. An important finding was the central role of the family, which served as a strong source of support, motivation, cooperation, and knowledge transfer for the farmers. Among the factors facilitating engagement in farming, participants highlighted positive neighbourly relationships, support from their families and partners, faith, and a strong desire for progress. In contrast, barriers included extensive administrative work, bureaucracy, physical demands, financial uncertainty, weather conditions, animal diseases, limited leisure time, and a lack of understanding of farming among the wider public. Nevertheless, participants developed certain strategies and adaptations for coping with these challenges. Discussion and conclusion: From the perspective of occupational science, farming can be understood as a complex and multifaceted occupation characterised by the intertwining of work, leisure, and family life, which are difficult to consider separately. This diploma thesis contributes to a better understanding of farming as an occupation and provides opportunities for further research on farmers as a distinct population within the fields of occupational science and occupational therapy. diplomska dela delovna terapija okupacijska znanost kmetijsko delo način življenja kvalitativno raziskovanje diploma theses occupational therapy occupational science farm work way of life qualitative research true false false [L.
