Lara Fišer (Author), Byoung Yoong Kang (Mentor)

Abstract

Južna Koreja je ena izmed najrazvitejših držav sveta, vendar ima tudi eno izmed najhitreje rastočih števil duševno bolnih oseb in eno izmed najvišjih stopenj samomorilnosti na svetu. To je posledica izjemno hitrega gospodarskega razvoja, ki je močno poslabšal duševno zdravje prebivalstva. Korejska družba ima do duševnih težav zelo slab odnos % duševne motnje so močno stigmatizirane in duševno bolni so žrtve diskriminacije ter negativnih predsodkov, zaradi česar se Korejci ne pogovarjajo o duševnih stiskah in ne poiščejo potrebne psihološke pomoči. Cilj diplomske naloge je opozoriti na problematiko duševnih težav v Koreji, slabega odnosa korejske družbe do duševno bolnih, nizkega koriščenja strokovne pomoči ter identificirati dejavnike, ki vplivajo na odnos korejske družbe do duševnega zdravja. Izpostavljena je tudi problematika duševnega zdravja med mladimi v svojih dvajsetih. Razumevanje vpliva različnih dejavnikov na stališča Korejcev je ključnega pomena za izboljšanje odnosa do duševnih težav in izboljšanje duševnega zdravja prebivalcev. Identificirala sem dvanajst dejavnikov: kultura, kolektivizem, azijske kulturne vrednote, vera, stigma, stopnja izobraženosti, spol, pismenost o duševnem zdravju, družina in prijatelji, starost, socialno-ekonomski položaj ter mediji. Te dejavnike je treba upoštevati pri razvijanju izobraževalnih programov za korejsko javnost. V delu so navedeni tudi predlogi za izboljšanje odnosa Korejcev do duševnih motenj in duševnih bolnikov.

Secondary title:	Mental health issues in South Korea: Factors influencing the attitude of Korean society towards mental health
Secondary abstract:	South Korea is one of the most developed countries in the world, but it also has one of the fastest-growing numbers of mentally ill people and one of the highest suicide rates in the world. This is due to the extremely rapid economic development, which has severely deteriorated the mental health of the population. Korean society has a very negative attitude towards mental health problems % mental disorders are highly stigmatized and the mentally ill are victims of discrimination and negative prejudices, which is why Koreans do not talk about mental distress and do not seek the necessary psychological help. The aim of this thesis is to spread awareness about the issue of mental health problems in Korea, the negative attitude of Korean society towards the mentally ill, the low utilization of professional help and to identify factors influencing Korean people%s attitude toward mental health. The issue of mental health among young people in their twenties is also highlighted. Understanding the influence of various factors on the viewpoint of Koreans is crucial for improving attitudes towards mental health problems and improving the mental health of the population. I identified twelve factors: culture, collectivism, Asian cultural values, religion, stigma, level of education, gender, mental health literacy, family and friends, age, socioeconomic status, and media. These factors should be taken into account when developing educational programs for the Korean public. The thesis also provides suggestions for improving Korean%s attitudes towards mental disorders and the mentally ill.
