Abstract

Svijest o važnosti mentalnog zdravlja sve se više razvija u današnjem društvu. Ukupni troškovi dijagnosticiranja i tretiranja psihičkih bolesti iznose oko 3-4% BDP-a pojedinih država (Silobrčić-Radić, 2011). Stoga je veoma bitno razumjeti i predvidjeti razvoj mentalnog zdravlja u djetinjstvu i identificirati pojedince koji bi mogli razviti nepovoljno mentalno zdravlje. Na taj način ulaganjem manje novaca i truda može se postići bolji rezultati i spriječiti potencijalni razvoj neke psihičke poteškoće.
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati prediktore koji se nalaze u pozadini internaliziranih i eksternaliziranih poteškoća i utvrditi njihovu ulogu u objašnjavanju mentalnog zdravlja kod adolescenata. Prediktori korišteni u analizi su socio-demografske varijable (spol, broj starije i mlađe braće i sestara i socio-ekonomski status), doživljeno nasilje od strane roditelja i otpornost. Osim toga ispitala se pojavnost i priroda psihičkih poteškoća.
U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 225 srednjoškolaca u Gradu Zagrebu. Podaci su prikupljeni u školama za vrijeme nastave ispunjavanjem upitnika koje je trajalo 20 minuta. Korišteni upitnici su: Skala rješavanja sukoba dijete-odrasli, Resillience scale for adolescents (READ), Achenbachova problemska skala i Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21).
Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su kako se otpornost pokazala kao najbolji prediktor u predviđanju eksternaliziranih i internaliziranih poteškoća, dok se doživljeno nasilje pokazalo kao značajan prediktor u predviđanju eksternaliziranih poteškoća. Osim navedenog spol se pokazao kao značajan prediktor u doživljavanju internaliziranih poteškoća, a broj starije braće i sestara u predviđanju eksternaliziranih poteškoća. Svi prediktori zajedno uspjeli su objasniti 14,1% ukupnog varijabiliteta ukupnog rezultata na Achenbachovoj problemskoj skali i 29,5% ukupnog varijabiliteta ukupnog rezultata DASS skale.

Abstract (english)

Today society is getting more aware of mental health importance and its development. All though we invest a lot of money, time and effort to diagnose and treat psychical illnesses at adult age, but it is very important to predict development of mental health in childhood and to identify individuals that could potentially develop negative mental health. By doing that, we could achieve better results and stop mental health problems at its beginning with investing less money and effort.
Aim of this study was to investigate predictors of internalising and externalising problems with hierarchical regression analysis. Predictors used in this analysis were socio-demographic variables (gender, number of older and younger siblings and socio-economic status), experienced violence by parents and resilience. Beside regression, prevalence and nature of psychical illnesses was also examined. In total 225 high school students from Zagreb have participated in this survey. Data was collected in schools during class by filling in 20 minutes questionnaire. Scales that were used are: child-parent conflict resolving Scale, Resilience Scale for adolescents (READ), Achenbach's problem Scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21). Results have shown that resilience was good predictor in predicting externalising and internalising problems, while experienced violence was good predictor in predicting externalising problems. In addition, gender has shown as significant predictor to predict internalising problems, and number of elder sibling was significant predictor to predict externalising problems. All predictors have explained 14,1% of total variance of Achenbach's problem scale data and 29,5% of total variance of DASS scale data.
