Uvod: Prekomerna telesna teža in debelost sta kronični bolezni, ki se pogosto pojavita pri otrocih ter močno vplivata pri nastanku drugih obolenj in povečujeta umrljivost. Pogostejši sta med socialno-ekonomsko ogroženimi posamezniki. Debelost v otroštvu povezujejo z debelostjo v odraslosti. Namen: V diplomskem delu smo želeli opraviti pregled relevantne znanstvene literature ter raziskati, kako prekomerna telesna teža in debelost vplivata na duševno zdravje otrok in mladostnikov ter vlogo medicinske sestre na tem področju. Metode dela: Uporabili smo deskriptivno metodo dela ter pregledali znanstveno literaturo pridobljeno s ključnimi besedami. Opravili smo pregled domače in tuje znanstvene literature o prekomerni telesni teži, debelosti ter o vplivu na duševno zdravje pri otrocih in mladostnikih ter vlogo zdravstvenih delavce. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da obstaja povezava med debelostjo in duševnim zdravjem. Po pregledu literature ugotovimo, da vloga medicinske sestre, v pretežni meri temelji na ozaveščanju mladostnikov o duševnem zdravju. Razprava in zaključek: Depresija in debelost veljata, kot vodilna javno-zdravstvena problema mladostnikov. Raziskave kažejo obstoječe statistične povezave med prekomerno telesno težo, debelostjo in duševnimi težavami. Zanimivo, bi bilo v prihodnosti se posvetiti raziskovanju vzročno-posledičnih povezav med debelostjo in duševnimi težavami.

• Title: The impact of overweight and obesity on the mental health of children and adolescents and the nurses roll : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Overweight and obesity often occur in childhood. They are a chronic disease that contributes to other diseases and a high mortality rate. Both diseases are more common among socio-economically disadvantaged individuals. Adult obesity is often associated with childhood obesity and is the cause of a variety of adult illnesses, such as cardiovascular disease. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate, with the help of relevant scientific literature, how overweight and obesity affect the mental health of children and adolescents and to figure out the role of the health care workers. Methods: In the diploma work we used a descriptive method of work, with which we reviewed the scientific literature. We reviewed domestic and foreign scientific literature on overweight, obesity and the impact on mental health in children and adolescents. Results: We found that there is a link between obesity and mental health. After reviewing the literature, we find that the nurse's role is largely based on raising awareness among adolescents about mental health. Discussion and conclusion: Depression and obesity are the leading public health problems of adolescents. Existing research largely finds the existence of a statistical link between overweight and obesity on the one hand and mental health problems on the other. It would be very useful for researchers in the future to focus on discovering the cause-and-effect relationships between these phenomena, as the discovery of these would make it possible to improve screening tests, preventive and curative programs.
