Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati neke značajke psihičkih smetnji studenata psihologije i psihologa zaposlenih u različitim područjima struke. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 226 studenata psihologije i 436 psihologa. Primijenjen je online upitnik koji je sadržavao CORE-10 ljestvicu, Ljestvicu zadovoljstva životom, demografska pitanja i dodatna pitanja o psihičkom zdravlju. Na različitim mjerama se pokazalo da su studenti psihologije više izvještavali o psihičkim smetnjama od radno aktivnih psihologa. Pri tome su najčešća vrsta poremećaja bili anksiozni poremećaji pa poremećaji raspoloženja. S obzirom na područje psihološke djelatnosti u kojem su radno aktivni psiholozi zaposleni, za psihičke smetnje su se pokazale statistički značajne razlike samo između kliničke/zdravstvene psihologije i psihosocijalnog rada te između kliničke/zdravstvene i školske psihologije, pri čemu su rezultati za kliničku/zdravstvenu psihologiju bili niži. Kod studenata psihologije smetnje su se najčešće javile prije studija, a za zaposlene psihologe nije bilo statistički značajne razlike s obzirom na vremensko razdoblje u kojem su se javile. Većina sudionika koji su imali psihičke smetnje obratila se za pomoć stručnjaku za psihičko zdravlje, dok su kao najčešći razlog nejavljanja po pomoć naveli da im stručnjak ne bi mogao ponuditi ništa novo. Radno aktivni psiholozi izvijestili su o višem zadovoljstvu životom od studenata psihologije. Zadovoljstvo životom je kod zaposlenih u području psihosocijalnog rada bilo niže od zadovoljstva zaposlenih u području kliničke/zdravstvene psihologije, dok između ostalih područja nije bilo značajne razlike.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine certain characteristics of mental health issues among psychology students and psychologists working in different areas of the profession. The study included 226 psychology students and 436 psychologists. An online questionnaire was administered, which included the CORE-10 scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale, demographic questions, and additional questions about mental health. Results showed that psychology students reported more mental health issues compared to employed psychologists across various measures. The most common types of disorders were anxiety disorders, followed by mood disorders. Regarding the area of psychological work in which employed psychologists were engaged, statistically significant differences in mental health issues were found only between clinical/health psychology and psychosocial work, as well as between clinical/health and school psychology, with lower results observed for clinical/health psychology. Among psychology students, mental health issues most commonly occurred before their studies, whereas for employed psychologists, there was no statistically significant difference in relation to the time period in which the issues occurred. The majority of participants who experienced mental health issues sought help from a mental health professional, while the most common reason for not seeking help was the belief that the professional could not offer anything new. Employed psychologists reported higher life satisfaction than psychology students. Life satisfaction was lower among those working in the field of psychosocial work compared to those in clinical/health psychology, with no significant differences found between other areas.
