An analysis of rehabilitation performance of speech therapy treatments and relapses with individuals that stuttered

Raziskave kažejo, da jeclja približno en odstotek odraslih oseb. V naši državi jeclja približno 20.000 oseb, od tega sta dve tretjini oseb, ki jeclja, moškega spola. Z ustrezno obravnavo je mogoče jecljanje odpraviti ali ga vsaj omiliti. V slovenskem prostoru se logopedi pri odpravljanju jecljanja pogosto poslužujejo metode Zavestna sinteza razvoja, dopolnjena s tehnikami VLAJA. Naš cilj je bil raziskati, v kolikšni meri je omenjena metoda uspešna pri odpravi jecljanja. Zanimalo nas je, katere so bile značilnosti telesnega počutja, mišljenja, čustvovanja in aktivnosti-ravnanja pred, po in pet let po zaključku logopedskih obravnav pri osebah, ki jecljajo. Na osnovi anketnega vprašalnika smo analizirali telesno počutje, mišljenje, čustvovanje in aktivnost-ravnanje v treh različnih časovnih obdobjih. S tem smo želeli razrešiti glavno vprašanje, ali prihaja po zaključku logopedskih obravnav do recidivov pri govoru. Hkrati smo želeli preveriti, s katerimi težavami pri govoru so se osebe srečevale pred začetkom logopedskih obravnav, ob zaključku le-teh in s katerimi težavami se srečujejo danes. Z Riley testom smo ocenili stopnjo jecljanja pred logopedsko obravnavo, po njej in danes. Osebe, ki so bile vključene v raziskavo, velik pomen za uspešnost logopedskih obravnav pripisujejo društvu Vilko Mazi. Omenjeno društvo je nadgradnja terapevtskega postopka. Osebam, ki jecljajo, in njihovim družinam, nudi oporo in pomoč. Organizira različne dejavnosti, kjer osebe, ki jecljajo, tudi v naravnem okolju vadijo svoj govor. Organizira tudi skupino za samopomoč, kjer osebe pomagajo druga drugi. V današnjem času, kjer varčujemo na vsakem koraku, je društvo še posebnega pomena, saj nudi pomoč in podporo brezplačno. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da recidivi pri govoru oseb, ki so pred petimi leti zaključile logopedske obravnave po metodi Zavestna sinteza razvoja, dopolnjena s tehnikami VLAJA, niso prisotni. Govor oseb se je ob zaključku obravnav močno izboljšal, danes nekatere osebe govorijo celo bolje, kot ob zaključku obravnav. Ugotovili smo, da obstajajo statistično pomembne razlike pri telesnem počutju anketiranih oseb za obdobje po logopedski obravnavi in danes. Prav tako so se za statistično pomembne izkazale razlike pri čustvovanju anketiranih oseb za obdobje po logopedski obravnavi in danes. Tudi pri mišljenju anketiranih oseb smo izračunali statistično pomembne razlike in sicer med obdobjema pred logopedsko obravnavo in danes ter po logopedski obravnavi in danes. Statistično pomembne razlike smo izračunali tudi pri aktivnosti-ravnanju in sicer za obdobje po logopedski obravnavi in danes.Researches show that approximately one percent of adults stutter. In our country approximately 20.000 people stutter, two thirds of those are male. With an appropriate treatment stuttering can be eliminated or at least reduced. In the Slovenian area speech therapists often use the Conscious synthesis of development method complemented with the VLAJA techniques. Our goal was to explore the extent to which the above mentioned method was successful in stuttering elimination. We were interested in the characteristics of the physical well-being, thinking, emoting, and activity-behaviour before, while, and five years after the completion of the speech therapy of people who stutter. Based on a questionnaire we analysed the physical well-being, thinking, emoting and activity-behaviour in three different time periods. With that, we wanted to resolve the main issue – whether there were any relapses in speech after the completion of the speech therapies. Also, we wanted to verify which problems with speech the individuals were facing before the speech therapies, at the conclusion of them and which problems they are facing now. With Riley test we estimated the degree of stuttering before the speech therapy, after it and now. The individuals involved in the study attach great importance for the success of speech therapies to Vilko Mazi association. The mentioned association presents an upgrade to the therapeutic procedure. It offers support and help to people who stutter and their families. It organizes various activities where people who stutter can practice their speech in a natural environment. Also, it organizes a self-help group in which the individuals help each other. Nowadays, when we try to save money each step of the way this association is of a particular importance as it offers help and support free of charge. The results of research showed that relapses in speech with people who completed their speech therapies based on the Conscious synthesis of development method complemented with the VLAJA techniques five years ago were not present. The individuals\u27 speech after the completion of therapies improved significantly – some individuals speak better today than at the time of therapies\u27 completion. We found that statistically important differences exist in the physical well-being of the respondents in the time period after the speech therapies and now. Also, the differences in emoting of the respondents in the time period after the speech therapies and now turned out as statistically important. We also calculated statistically important differences in thinking of the respondents in the time period before the speech therapy and now as well as in the time period after the speech therapy and now. Statistically important differences were also calculated in activity-behaviour for the time period after the speech therapy and now
