Abstract

Ovim se radom nastojala istražiti povezanost između načina provođenja slobodnog vremena i mentalnog zdravlja mladih. Fokus je bio na razumijevanju kako različite aktivnosti u slobodnom vremenu, uključujući korištenje digitalnih medija, utječu na emocionalno blagostanje mladih. Teorijski dio rada obuhvaća pregled ključnih pojmova i teorijskih okvira vezanih uz slobodno vrijeme i mentalno zdravlje, kao i prikaz postojećih istraživanja na slične teme. Metodologija istraživanja uključivala je kvantitativnu analizu podataka prikupljenih putem anketnog upitnika. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da postoji statistički značajna razlika između demografskih obilježja (dob i spol) ispitanika i zadovoljstva količinom slobodnog vremena, kako ne postoji statistički značajna razlika između spola ispitanika i zadovoljstva upravljanjem slobodnim vremenom, ali postoji statistički značajna razlika između dobi ispitanika i zadovoljstva upravljanjem slobodnim vremenom. Osim toga uočena je i povezanost između količine i načina korištenja slobodnog vremena, kao i količina vremena provedena koristeći digitalne medije i/ili društvene mreže s mentalnim zdravljem ispitanika. Rezultati sugeriraju da uravnoteženo provođenje slobodnog vremena, s naglaskom na društvene i fizičke aktivnosti, može doprinijeti boljem emocionalnom stanju mladih. Ovi nalazi pružaju osnovu za daljnje istraživanje i intervencije usmjerene na poboljšanje mentalnog zdravlja mladih kroz promjene u načinu provođenja slobodnog vremena.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between how young people spend their leisure time and their mental health. The focus was on understanding how different leisure activities, including the use of digital media, affect the emotional well-being of young people. The theoretical part of the paper includes an overview of key concepts and theoretical frameworks related to leisure time and mental health, as well as a review of existing research on similar topics. The research methodology involved quantitative analysis of data collected through a survey questionnaire consisting of 21 questions.The results showed a statistically significant difference between demographic characteristics (age and gender) of the respondents and their satisfaction with the amount of leisure time. It also indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the gender of respondents and their satisfaction with managing leisure time, but there was a significant difference between age and satisfaction with managing leisure time. Additionally, a correlation was observed between the amount and manner of using leisure time, as well as the amount of time spent using digital media and/or social networks with the mental health of respondents.The findings suggest that balanced use of leisure time, with an emphasis on social and physical activities, can contribute to better emotional states among young people. These results provide a basis for further research and interventions aimed at improving the mental health of young people through changes in how they spend their leisure time.
