Uvod: Zadovoljstvo študentov s študijem lahko razumemo kot kognitivno stanje, na katerega vpliva pozitivna izobraževalna izkušnja študenta. Študij fizioterapije je zahteven in študenti se v času študija srečujejo z različnimi vrstami stresorjev, kar pa lahko vpliva na njihovo počutje. Da bi lahko izboljšali študentove izkušnje s študijem, je potrebno redno vrednotenje zadovoljstva in značilnosti študijskega okolja. Namen: Želeli smo ugotoviti, kako študenti fizioterapije na Zdravstveni fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani dojemajo študijske zahteve ter kakšno raven nadzora in socialne opore imajo. Zanimalo nas je tudi, če v merjenih spremenljivkah obstajajo razlike med letniki študija. Metode dela: V delu smo uporabili kavzalno neeksperimentalno metodo empiričnega raziskovanja. Podatke smo zbirali med študenti 1., 2., in 3. letnika ter absolventi študijskega programa fizioterapije. Za raziskovalni instrument je bil uporabljen spletni anketni vprašalnik po modelu JDCS (Job Demand-Control-Social support) oz. modelu zahtev, nadzora in opore, prilagojenemu za izobraževalne namene. Rezultati: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 87 študentov fizioterapije ene od slovenskih fakultet. Več kot polovica udeleženih študentov fizioterapije (n = 51) dojema študij kot zahteven. 50,6 % študentov ima dober nadzor nad študijem. Poleg tega 16,1 % študentov meni, da je študij stresen. Med sodelujočimi študenti, jih je 62,1 % mnenja, da imajo veliko socialne opore pri študiju, 37,9 % študentov pa je mnenja, da prejemajo razmeroma malo socialne opore. Razprava in zaključek: Študenti fizioterapije razmeroma ugodno zaznavajo subjektivne značilnosti študijskega okolja. Glede na ugotovitve ima večina študentov dober nadzor nad lastnim študijem in prejema veliko socialne opore. Bi pa bilo potrebno posebno pozornost nameniti tistim, ki zaznavajo študij kot zahteven, nimajo nadzora nad njim in prejemajo malo socialne opore. Z raziskavo smo pridobili pomembne vpoglede, ki bi lahko služili za izboljšanje študijskega programa in počutja študentov.

• Title: Perceived demands, control and support in undergraduate physiotherapy students : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Student satisfaction with their studies can be understood as a cognitive state influenced by a positive educational experience. The study of physiotherapy is demanding, and an increasing number of students encounter various types of stressors during their studies, which can affect their well-being. To improve students' experiences, regular assessment of satisfaction and characteristics of the educational environment is necessary. Purpose: We aimed to determine how physiotherapy students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ljubljana, perceive academic demands and what level of control and social support they have. We were also interested in whether there are differences between academic years. Methods: In the first, we used a descriptive method to review the proffesional literature, and subsequently, we applied a casual non-experimental method for empirical research. Data were collected from first, second and third year physiotherapy students, as well as graduates. The research instrument used was an online questionnaire and the JDCS (Job Demand-Control-Social support) model, adapted for educational purposes. Results: The study involved 87 physiotherapy students from one of the Slovenian universities. More than half of the participating physiotherapy students (n = 51) perceived their studies as demanding. 50,6 % students feel they have good control over their studies. 16,1 % students consider their studies to be stressful. 62,1 % students believe they have a lot of social support during their studies, while 37,9 % students feel they recieve little social support. Discussion and Conclusion: Physiotherapy students perceive the subjective characteristics of their study environment relatively good. Based on the findings, most students have good control and recieve ample social support. However, special attention should be given to those who finds their studies demanding, feel they lack control and receive little social support. The research has provided important insights that could help improve the study program and the well-being of students.
