Abstract

Tema ovoga diplomskoga rada je medicinski gaslighting u kontekstu nevidljivih bolesti. Na samom početku rada pruža se teorijski okvir i pojašnjava se pojava gaslightinga, medicinskg gaslightinga i čitatelja se upoznaje s interpretacijom nevidljivih bolesti u domeni biomedicine. S obzirom na to da se u drugim zapadnim zemljama aktivno piše i govori o medicinskom gaslightingu, a u Hrvatskoj još uvijek ne, cilj rada bio je istražiti situacije na tu temu na području Hrvatske. Stoga su neka od pitanja na koja se kroz provedbu ovoga istraživanja htjelo odgovoriti: Na koji način se manifestira medicinski gaslighting u kontekstu hrvatskog zdravstva? Je li pojam medicinskog gaslightinga kulturološki dostupan i kazivačima poznat? Zašto su nevidljive bolesti posebno sklone stigmatizaciji i gaslightingu? Koji su uzroci i posljedice medicinskog gaslightinga? Do odgovora na ta, ali i druga pitanja, došlo se kroz provedbu sedam polustrukturiranih inetervjua u kojima su kazivači podijelili svoja iskustva. U radu se stoga izlažu rezultati analize narativa o bolesti kazivača i znanstvenih radova na srodne teme te se predstavlja i tumači medicinki gaslighting.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the phenomenon of medical gaslighting within the context of invisible diseases. It begins by establishing a theoretical framework, elucidating the concepts of gaslighting and medical gaslighting, and introducing the reader to the interpretation of invisible diseases within the realm of biomedicine. While other Western countries actively discuss and address medical gaslighting, it appears conspicuously absent from the narrative in Croatia. Consequently, the primary objective of this paper is to investigate instances of medical gaslighting within the Croatian healthcare system. The research aims to answer key questions, including: How does medical gaslighting manifest in the Croatian health system? Is the term "medical gaslighting" culturally recognized and familiar to narrators? Why do invisible diseases face heightened susceptibility to stigmatization and gaslighting? What are the root causes and repercussions of medical gaslighting? These inquiries are addressed through the implementation of seven semi-structured interviews, where narrators share their personal medical experiences. The paper presents the findings derived from the analysis of both narrator accounts and scientific literature on related subjects, offering insights into the manifestation and interpretation of medical gaslighting within the Croatian context.
