Internalizirane čustveno-vedenjske težave otrok in mladostnikov skozi oči izbranih strokovnih delavcev različnih vzgojno-izobraževalnih institucij po Sloveniji

Selšek Štanta, Mirjam (author), Vec, Tomaž (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava pojavnost internaliziranih čustvenih in vedenjskih težav otrok in mladostnikov. V teoretičnem delu se najprej usmerim na čustvene in vedenjske težave otrok in mladostnikov v najširšem smislu. Nato opredelim, kaj so internalizirane čustvene in vedenjske težave ter jih definiram. V nadaljevanju predstavim dejavnike, ki vplivajo na razvoj tovrstnih težav. Zatem se osredotočim na vzgojno-izobraževalne institucije ter njihov pomen za nastajanje in prepoznavanje ponotranjenih čustvenih in vedenjskih težav. Predstavim tudi pomen kvalitetnega in celostnega pedagoškega dela. Teoretični del zaključim s poudarkom na preventivi. V empiričnem delu raziščem poglede desetih strokovnih delavcev, zaposlenih v različnih vzgojno-izobraževalnih institucijah po Sloveniji, na otroke in mladostnike s tovrstnimi težavami. Rezultati kažejo, da vsi sodelujoči pedagogi opažajo internalizirane čustvene in vedenjske težave pri populaciji, s katero delajo. Prepoznavajo širok spekter ponotranjenih težav, kjer pa se najpogosteje pojavljajo tesnobnost ali anksioznost, motnje hranjenja, samopoškodovalna vedenja, depresivne težave ali motnje ter umaknjena vedenja. Njihova doživljanja, potrebe in odzivi se ob soočenju z otroki ali mladostniki z internaliziranimi čustvenimi in vedenjskimi težavami razlikujejo predvsem glede na vzgojno-izobraževalno institucijo, kjer delajo. Zanimive razlike se pojavljajo tudi v vrstah pomoči, ki jih nudijo zajete vzgojno-izobraževalne institucije. O internaliziranih čustvenih in vedenjskih težavah v Sloveniji še ni veliko literature in raziskav, zato bo doprinos tega dela predvsem v ozaveščanju o pomembnosti te tematike, kar bo lahko pripomoglo k večji pozornosti na ranljivo skupino otrok in mladostnikov z internaliziranimi čustvenimi in vedenjskimi težavami. Ti so pogosto, dokler se njihove težave ne stopnjujejo in ne postanejo moteče, popolnoma prezrti. Pa vendar številne raziskave kažejo, da tovrstne težave puščajo na otroku ali mladostniku hude posledice in da je ravno zato pomembno, da se odkrijejo že zgodaj.

• Title: Internalised emotional and behavioural problems of children and young people from the viewpoint of selected professionals from various educational institutions in Slovenia

Abstract

The master's thesis discusses the incidence of internalized emotional and behavioral problems of children and adolescents. The theoretical part is focused on the emotional and behavioral problems of children and adolescents in the broadest way. In the following part, the factors that influence the development of such problems are presented. After that the focus is on educational institutions and their importance on the emergence and recognition of internalized emotional and behavioral problems. I also present the importance of quality and integrated pedagogical work. The theoretical part is concluded with an important emphasis on the prevention. In the empirical part, the views of ten pedagogues employed in various educational institutions in Slovenia on children and adolescents with such problems are explored. The results show that all participating pedagogues notice internalized emotional and behavioral problems in the population they work with. They recognize a wide range of internalized problems. Anxiety, eating disorders, self-harming, depressive problems or disorders and withdrawn behaviors are the most common. Their experiences, needs as well as reactions, when confronted with children or adolescents with internalized emotional and behavioral problems, differ mainly according to the educational institution where they work. Interesting differences also occur in the types of support and help provided by the covered educational institutions. There is a lack of literature and research about internalized emotional and behavioral problems in Slovenia, so the contribution of this work will be to raise awareness of the importance of this topic, which can help pay more attention to vulnerable groups of children and adolescents with internalized emotional behavioral problems. These are often completely ignored until their problems escalate and become troublesome. However, many studies show that such problems have serious consequences for a child or adolescent and their development. And that’s why it is important to detect them early.
