Acquaintance of the youth with the mental disorder schizophrenia.

V diplomskem delu Seznanjenost mladih z duševno motnjo — shizofrenijo predstavljamo, kakšno je poznavanje mladih o izjemno težki duševni motnji, kot je shizofrenija. Delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov. V teoretičnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni duševna motnja shizofrenija, epidemiologija, vzroki in znaki ter klinični tipi shizofrenije. Opisani so vpliv duševne motnje shizofrenije na mladostnika in vloga družine, pomen zdravstvene nege pacienta s shizofrenijo ter vloga medicinske sestre. Shizofrenija je najtežja duševna motnja. Pacienti so pogosto stigmatizirani in izločeni iz družbe, vzroki za takšne reakcije so nepoznavanje in napačne predstave o tej duševni motnji. V raziskovalnem delu diplomskega dela so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave, ki je bila izvedena na Srednji šoli Slovenska Bistrica. Anketiranih je bilo 100 dijakov od prvega do četrtega letnika. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da je polovica anketiranih dijakov že slišala za omenjeno bolezen, informacije o njej pa so večinoma pridobili iz medijev. Večina anketirancev meni, da je za paciente z duševno motnjo značilno, da se umaknejo v »svoj svet«. Ravno tako bi večina mladostnikov bila pripravljena sprejeti sovrstnika s shizofrenijo v svojo družbo, saj navajajo, da nimajo predsodkov pred to boleznijo.In the diploma paper Acquaintance of the youth with the mental disorder schizophrenia, we present the knowledge of young people about the extremely harsh mental disorder, schizophrenia. The paper work consists of two parts. In the theoretical part I will clearly define the mental disorder schizophrenia, its epidemiology, causes and signs and the clinical types of schizophrenia. Described arethe influence of the mental disorder schizophrenia on young people, the role of the family, the importance of nursing care to a schizophrenia patient and the role of a nurse. Schizophrenia is the harshest mental disorder. Ignorance and wrong conception about this mental disorder are the main reasons why the patients are often stigmatized and excluded from society. The results of a research, which was carried out at the High school Slovenska Bistrica, are presented in the second part, in the research work of the diploma paper. 100 students from the first to the forth year were questioned. The results showed that half of the questioned students have already heard about this disorder and gained the information from the media. Most of the questioned students think, that people with mental disorders often live in their “own world”. They also stated that they would have no problems having a schizophrenia person as their friend, for they said, that they have no prejudice against that disease
