Komprej, Lara (author), Plemelj Mohorič, Alenka (mentor), Lebar, Cecilija (reviewer)

Uvod: Udeležba v dejavnostih v prostem času ima za posameznike velik pomen. Prostočasne dejavnosti lahko preprečujejo nastanek kroničnih bolezni, zmanjšujejo simptome depresije in anksioznosti, izboljšujejo razmišljanje in učenje ter pripomorejo k boljšemu zdravju, razvoju in splošnemu dobremu počutju. Študenti, ki so zadovoljni v prostem času, imajo običajno tudi višje splošno zadovoljstvo v življenju. Pri prostočasnih dejavnostih osebe spoznajo same sebe, izboljšujejo svojo samopodobo, pridobivajo zagon za opravljanje drugih dejavnosti v življenju in pozitivno vplivajo na razpoloženje. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati zadovoljstvo študentov Univerze v Ljubljani v prostem času in njihovo splošno zadovoljstvo z življenjem. Metode dela: V raziskavi smo uporabili kvantitativen raziskovalni pristop. Udeležence, študente Univerze v Ljubljani, smo razdelili v dve skupini. V prvi skupini so bili študenti s posebnimi potrebami, v drugi pa študenti brez posebnega statusa. Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo s spletno anketo, izvedeno s pomočjo spletnega orodja 1KA. Uporabljena sta bila Vprašalnik o zadovoljstvu v prostem času in Vprašalnik o splošnem zadovoljstvu z življenjem. Rezultati: V povprečnem zadovoljstvu v prostem času ni bila zaznana statistično značilna razlika med skupinama. V zadovoljstvu v psihološki in izobraževalni kategoriji je bila zaznana statistično značilna razlika. Zaznali smo tudi statistično značilno razliko v splošnem zadovoljstvu z življenjem med skupinama. Razprava in zaključek: V prostem času so bolj zadovoljni študenti s posebnimi potrebami kot študenti brez posebnih potreb. Naša raziskava je potrdila povezavo med višjim zadovoljstvom v prostem času in višjim zadovoljstvom z življenjem, kar je skladno z ugotovitvami prejšnjih raziskav. Na podlagi teh rezultatov bi bilo smiselno spodbujanje in vključevanje vseh študentov v prostočasne dejavnosti. Študentom s posebnimi potrebami bi bilo potrebno ponudi več priložnosti za vključevanje v prostočasne dejavnosti, saj prosti čas zanje nima le rekreativne vloge, temveč izboljša njihovo splošno počutje, jim daje smisel, socialno vključenost in večje zadovoljstvo v življenju, kar je zanje še posebej pomembno.

• Title: Life satisfaction of students at the University of Ljubljana : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Participation in leisure activities is of great importance to individuals. Leisure activities can prevent the development of chronic diseases, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve thinking, learning, and contribute to better health, development, and general well-being. Students who are satisfied with their leisure time generally also have higher overall satisfaction with life. During leisure activities, individuals get to know themselves, improve their self-image, gain momentum for other activities in life, and have a positive effect on their mood. Purpose: The purpose of the diploma thesis is to investigate the satisfaction of students at the University of Ljubljana with their leisure time and their general satisfaction with life. Methods: A quantitative research approach was employed in the study. The participants, students at the University of Ljubljana, were divided into two groups. The first group consisted of students with special needs, and the second group included students without special status. Data collection was carried out through an online survey using the 1KA online tool, with the Leisure Time Satisfaction Questionnaire and the General Life Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results: No statistically significant difference was detected between the groups in terms of average leisure time satisfaction. A statistically significant difference was found in satisfaction in the psychological and educational categories. A statistically significant difference was also observed between the groups in life satisfaction. Discussion and conclusion: Students with special needs are more satisfied with their leisure time than students without special needs. Our research confirmed the connection between higher satisfaction in leisure time and satisfaction with life. Based on these results, it would be advisable to encourage and engage all students in leisure activities. Students with special needs should be offered more opportunities to engage in leisure activities, as leisure time does not only have a recreational role for them, but also improves their general well-being, gives them meaning, social inclusion and greater satisfaction in life, which is especially important for them.
