Background: Stress is an inevitable phenomenon of students’ way of life nowadays. In particular, stressors are associated with study obligations and interpersonal relationships. In a time of rapid ...social changes, the problem of stress among young people is highly dynamic and complicated; therefore, academic studies and research regarding this subject are among the most important tasks of society. Our study aimed to analyse the stress and coping strategies among the students of selected faculties of the University of Ljubljana.Methods: We surveyed 622 students of the first and third year of six faculties of the University of Ljubljana, of which 40.5% were men and 59.6% women. The questionnaire was summarized according to the questionnaire used in the project “Risk Factors for Non-Communicable Diseases in Adult Population of Slovenia” was used in our study. The data were processed with SPSS. The basic statistics were calculated, and the hypotheses were checked at the level of 5% of the statistical risk (p ≤ 0.05) using the Chi-square test.Results: The survey showed that most students (46.8%) feel stress occasionally, 30.4% of them often, and 4.7% every day. The students of the Faculty of Medicine are more affected by stress than other students are, especially in comparison to the students of the Faculty of Sport. Women suffer from stress more than men do. A total of 82.2% of the students claimed the burden of study as the reason for tension, stress and a feeling of heaviness. Among them, most students were from the Faculty of Medicine and the least were from the Faculty of Sport; most of them were women. The students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Medicine study and learn continuously. Outside the examination period, 38.5% of students sleep only 5 to 6 hours per day. Only 12.8% of students can easily handle stress, 70% of them handle stress with some effort and 16.5% of them with great effort; among them, students of the third year and men cope with stress better than others do. As a coping strategy, a large majority (72%) of students mention sports activity, mostly students of the Faculty of Sport, and the least students of the Faculty of Education. Only 5.2% of students never engage in sport; most are active in sports from 3 to 5 days a week, from 30 to 60 minutes.Conclusion: The study highlighted the problem of stress and coping with it with students from selected faculties of the University of Ljubljana. The survey has shown a high prevalence of self-reported stress, with the vast majority of students reporting physical activity as the most used method of coping. There were significant differences with the corresponding confidence level 95% in terms of gender and faculty. Further research and the implementation of effective measures could improve the quality of life of students, which would later also contribute to reduced levels of burnout in the workplace, as young people as students would be better aware of this problem and knew the appropriate preventive measures.
Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the opinions of educators about the occurrence of injuries in children of different ages during organized and non-organized physical activities in ...kindergarten. Methods. Our sample included 322 teachers from 53 kindergartens in Slovenia. We calculated the frequencies and performed a chi-square test. Results. Most of the children have organized physical activity in kindergarten 1 to 2 times per week; for children in the first age group, it usually lasts for 20 minutes or less; for children in the second age group, it lasts for 20 to 30 minutes. Most physical activities take place in the playroom, where the majority of injuries also occur. Injuries most frequently occur when running and jumping and less frequently during other physical activities. During free play, children are often injured in the outer court between 9 and 12 a.m. Boys are more often injured than girls. Educators indicate unforeseen situations as the most common cause of injury. The most common injuries are bumps on the head, especially in younger children, who stay at home for a few days as a result of these injuries. Parents of younger children are not as satisfied with the actions of educators when injuries occur as parents of older preschool children. Educators rehabilitate the children’s injuries themselves and inform parents about it. Only one third of the educators make a record of injuries, and half of them only when a serious injury has occurred. Conclusions. The analysis results showed statistically significant differences between children of different ages according to the cause of injury, time of injury, the place where the child was injured during organized physical activity, type of activity at the time of injury, injured part of the body, and parental satisfaction with the action of the educator. Based on the results, we proposed some actions to reduce injuries in preschool children in kindergarten.
Izhodišča. Namen raziskave je bil analizirati mnenja vzgojiteljev o nastanku poškodbe pri organiziranih in neorganiziranih gibalnih dejavnostih otrok v vrtcih glede na starost otrok. Metode. Podatki so bili pridobljeni z anketiranjem 322 vzgojiteljev iz 53 vrtcev v Sloveniji. Izračunane so bile frekvence in izveden hi-kvadrat test. Rezultati. Večina otrok ima v vrtcu organizirane gibalne dejavnosti od 1-krat do 2-krat tedensko; pri otrocih prvega starostnega obdobja trajajo večinoma 20 minut in manj, v drugem starostnem obdobju pa od 20 do 30 minut. Dejavnosti potekajo največkrat v igralnici, v kateri se tudi poškoduje največ otrok. Poškodbe nastanejo najpogosteje pri teku in skokih, manj pri drugih gibalnih dejavnostih. Med prosto igro pa se otroci največkrat poškodujejo na zunanjem igrišču, in to med 9. in 12. uro. Večkrat se poškodujejo dečki kot deklice. Vzgojitelji kot najpogostejši vzrok za poškodbo navajajo nepredvidene situacije, najpogostejše poškodbe pa so udarci, in sicer v glavo, zlasti pri najmlajših otrocih, ki zaradi tega nekaj dni ostanejo doma. Starši najmlajših otrok so tudi manj zadovoljni z ukrepanjem vzgojitelja. Vzgojitelji največkrat sami sanirajo poškodbo in obvestijo starše. Le tretjina vzgojiteljev vedno naredi zapisnik o poškodbi, več kot polovica le pri hujših poškodbah. Zaključki. Analiza je pokazala statistično značilne razlike med različnimi starostnimi skupinami otrok glede vzrokov poškodb, časa nastanka poškodb, prostora, v katerem se otrok poškoduje med organizirano gibalno dejavnostjo, vrste dejavnosti med poškodbami, dela poškodovanega telesa in zadovoljstva staršev z ukrepanjem vzgojitelja ob poškodbi. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov so predlagani ukrepi za zmanjševanje poškodb pri predšolskih otrocih v vrtcu.
Properly selected and prescribed physical activity during pregnancy has a favorable eect on the health of pregnant women and the fetus, and is excellent preparation for childbirth. Absolute and ...relative contraindications to exercise during pregnancy are well dened, as well as the warning signs to terminate exercise while pregnant.
