Analiza potreb po dnevnem centru za otroke in mladostnike v občini Lenart : magistrsko delo

Kmetič, Petra (author), Sande, Matej (mentor)

Nevladne organizacije so nepridobitne, neprofitne in neodvisne od drugih subjektov, kar pomeni, da ne opravljajo izključno pridobitne dejavnosti, ustvarjen presežek prihodkov nad odhodki pa morajo porabiti za razvoj in delovanje organizacije. Dnevni center je organizacija, ki jo štejemo pod take vrste organizacij. Njihov cilj in namen delovanja, je zadovoljevanje interesov in potreb prebivalstva tudi na lokalni ravni. Namen magistrske naloge je bil narediti hitro oceno potreb in raziskati prostor ter potrebe v občini Lenart glede ustanovitve dnevnega centra za otroke in mladostnike. Sama raziskava bo lahko doprinesla k realizaciji dnevnega centa, ki bo oblikovan glede na potrebe in želje vseh vključenih v raziskavo. V ta namen sem v teoretičnem delu naredila pregled dobrih praks tako v Sloveniji kot v tujini, opisala sem značilnosti prostega časa ter pomen kvalitetnega preživljanja prostega časa za otroke in mladostnike. Izpostavila sem nekaj raziskav, ki kažejo na to, kako otroci in mladostniki najraje preživljajo svoj prosti čas. Posebno pozornost sem namenila igri ter njenemu pomenu za razvoj otrok in mladostnikov. Nato sem naredila pregled razvojnih teorij ter podrobneje predstavila razvoj v obdobju srednjega in poznega otroštva ter mladostništva. To je tudi ciljna skupina dnevnega centra. V nadaljevanju sem predstavila osnovne človekove potrebe po različnih avtorjih. Na koncu sem posebno pozornost namenila duševnemu zdravju, ki je zelo pomembno za kvalitetno življenje posameznika. Izpostavila sem raziskave NIJZ, kjer so naredili pregled, kakšno je stanje duševnega zdravja med mladostniki v Sloveniji. V empiričnem delu sem v raziskavi uporabila kvantitativno in kvalitativno metodologijo. Pri kvantitativni sem uporabila anketni vprašalnik, katerega so rešili starši osnovnošolskih otrok v OŠ Lenart. V kvalitativni raziskavi sem izvedla tri polstrukturirane intervjuje, pri čemer je bil eden izveden skupinsko. Intervjuvala sem predstavnika občine Lenart, svetovalno delavko CSD Lenart in otroke. Skupinski intervju je bil izveden z otroki. Rezultati so pokazali, da vsi vključeni v raziskavi vidijo v ustanovitvi dnevnega centra neko dodano vrednost. Vsak iz svojega vidika vidi v delovanju dnevnega centra možnost zadovoljevanja potreb otrok in mladostnikov. Zato vidim smisel v uresničevanju te ideje enkrat v prihodnosti.

• Title: Needs analysis of a day centre for children and adolescents in Lenart municipality

Abstract

Non-governmental organizations are non-profit, charitable, and independent entities, meaning that they do not engage solely in profit-making activities. Any surplus generated from revenues exceeding expenses must be used for the development and operation of the organization. A day center is an organization classified under such types of entities. Its goal and purpose are to meet the interests and needs of the population, even at the local level. The purpose of the master's thesis was to conduct a rapid needs assessment and explore the space and requirements in the municipality of Lenart regarding the establishment of a day center for children and young people. The research itself could contribute to the realization of the day center, designed according to the needs and desires of all participants in the study. To this end, in the theoretical part, I conducted a review of best practices both in Slovenia and abroad. I described the characteristics of leisure time and the importance of quality leisure time for children and young people. I highlighted some studies showing how children and young people prefer to spend their free time, with special attention given to the importance of play for their development. I then reviewed developmental theories and presented in detail the development in the middle and late childhood and adolescence, which is also the target group of the day center. Furthermore, I presented basic human needs according to various authors. Finally, I focused on mental health, which is crucial for an individual's quality of life, citing research by the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) on the state of mental health among young people in Slovenia. In the empirical part, I used both quantitative and qualitative methodology. For the quantitative part, I utilized a questionnaire completed by parents of primary school children in Lenart. In the qualitative research, I conducted three semi-structured interviews, one of which was a group interview. I interviewed a representative of the municipality of Lenart, a counseling worker from the Social Work Center (CSD) Lenart, and children. The group interview was conducted with children. The results showed that all participants in the study see some added value in establishing a day center. Each, from their perspective, sees the operation of the day center as an opportunity to meet the needs of children and young people. Therefore, I see merit in realizing this idea sometime in the future.
