Parents\u27 Awareness of the Mental Health of Children and Adolescents

Izhodišče: Najpomembnejša lastnost vsake družine je toplina čustvenih odnosov med starši in otroki. Vsi ljudje moramo skrbeti za svoje zdravje, vsi starši pa za zdravje svojih otrok. Zato potrebujemo veliko znanja. Na področju duševnega zdravja ima medicinska sestra pomembno vlogo, saj deluje zdravstveno-vzgojno, tako na starše, kakor tudi otroke in mladostnike. Metodologija raziskovanja: V diplomskem delu smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. Teoretična izhodišča smo predstavili s pomočjo študija domače in tuje literature. Kot raziskovalni instrument smo za zbiranje podatkov uporabili anonimni anketni vprašalnik. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 60 naključno izbranih staršev, katerih otroci obiskujejo organizirano športno aktivnost. Dobljene rezultate smo statistično obdelali in jih grafično prikazali s pomočjo programa Microsoft Office Excel. Rezultati: Rezultati raziskovanja so pokazali, da se starši zavedajo, kako pomembno je duševno zdravje za zdrav razvoj otroka in kasneje mladostnika. Spodbuden je podatek, da se zelo dobro zavedajo lastne odgovornosti za zdrav razvoj svojih otrok. Vsi anketiranci posvečajo poseben pomen redni gibalni aktivnosti, saj pravijo, da le-ta pomembno vpliva na duševno zdravje njihovega otroka. Prav tako se zavedajo pozitivnih lastnosti, ki jih ima pozitivna družinska klima. Sklep: Starši se zavedajo, kako pomembna je njihova vloga za zdrav razvoj otroka in s tem dobro duševno zdravje svojih otrok, saj prav oni v veliki meri vplivajo na duševno zdravje le-teh. Medicinska sestra ima ob tem pomembno vlogo, starši pa ji v medsebojnem odnosu morajo zaupati. Na ta način bo zdravstveno-vzgojno delovanje medicinske sestre doseglo največji učinek.Basis: The most important characteristic of each family is warmth of emotional relations between parents and children. All people have to take care for their healthparents should care about their children’s well-being, which requires a lot of knowledge. In the area of mental health, a nurse plays an important role in health education of parents, children and adolescents. Research methodology: We used the descriptive method in the thesis. Theoretical points were presented by studying domestic and foreign literature. The anonymous questionnaire was used as the research instrument to collect the data. The research involved 60 randomly selected parents whose children attend an organized sports activity. The results were statistically analyzed by Microsoft Office Excel. Results: The results showed that parents are aware of the importance of mental health for the healthy development of the child and adolescent. The fact that the parents are very well aware of their own responsibility for the child\u27s healthy development is encouraging. All parents devote special meaning to regular exercise activities. They say that the regular exercise activities have a significant impact on the child\u27s mental health. They are also aware of the positive attributes of the positive family environment. Conclusion: Parents are aware of their role for the child\u27s healthy development and therefore for the child\u27s mental health. They largely affect the mental health of their children. The nurse is taking an important role as well and she should be trusted by parents. Medical-educational functioning of the nurses will achieve the greatest impact that way
