Vpliv socialne opore in aktivnosti v spletni svetovalnici #Tosemjaz na opolnomočenje in psihološko blagostanje mladostnikov : magistrsko delo

Lenič, Timotej (author), Cugmas, Marjan (mentor)

Psihološko blagostanje, ki označuje posameznikovo doživljanje notranjega miru, zadovoljstva in življenjskega smisla, predstavlja ključen vidik duševnega zdravja, zlasti v obdobju mladostništva. Pomanjkanje socialne opore lahko negativno vpliva na psihološko blagostanje mladostnikov. Namen raziskave je preveriti, ali lahko sodelovanje v spletnih zdravstvenih skupnostih, kot je portal #Tosemjaz, preko krepitve opolnomočenja ublaži negativne učinke pomanjkanja socialne opore na psihološko blagostanje. Podatki so bili zbrani z metodo priložnostnega vzorčenja med uporabniki spletne svetovalnice #Tosemjaz v maju in juniju 2024, z uporabo metode Web CSAQ. Za preverjanje predlaganega teoretičnega modela je bilo uporabljeno modeliranje strukturnih enačb. V analizo je bilo vključenih 68 uporabnic in 9 uporabnikov #Tosemjaz, starih med 11 in 22 let. Analiza je potrdila pozitiven vpliv socialne opore na psihološko blagostanje ter negativen vpliv na aktivno participacijo (npr. postavljanje vprašanj, komentiranje/odgovarjanje vrstnikom) v svetovalnici. Aktivna participacija in pogostost obiskovanja spletne svetovalnice pozitivno vplivata na opolnomočenje, le-to pa na psihološko blagostanje. To pomeni, da spletna svetovalnica predstavlja, preko opolnomočenja, pomemben dejavnik za krepitev blagostanja mladih. Rezultati raziskave poudarjajo pomembno vlogo spletnih svetovalnic pri psihosocialnem razvoju mladostnikov.

• Title: Affect of social support and activity in the online counselling service #Thisisme on the empowerment and psychological well-being of adolescents

Abstract

Psychological well-being, which refers to an individual's experience of inner peace, contentment and meaning in life, is a key aspect of mental health, especially during adolescence. A lack of social support can have a negative impact on the mental well-being of adolescents. This research aims to test whether participation in online health communities such as the #Thisisme portal can mitigate these negative effects through empowerment. Data was collected through a random sample of users of the online counselling service #Thisisme in May and June 2024 using the Web-CSAQ method. Structural equation modelling was used to test the proposed theoretical model. 68 female and 9 male and female users of the #Thisisme portal, aged between 11 and 22 years, were included in the analysis. The analysis confirmed a positive influence of social support on psychological well-being and a negative influence on active participation (e.g. asking questions, making comments/responding to peers) in the counselling room. Active participation and the frequency of visits to the online counselling service have a positive effect on empowerment and psychological well-being. This suggests that online counselling plays a crucial role in enhancing adolescents’ well-being through empowerment. The results of the study underline the important role of online counselling for the psychosocial development of adolescents.
