Abstract

This study examined the difficulties experienced by Slovenian upper-secondary school and university students aged 18 to 25 in their close social relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic. We examined the extent of social difficulties in six domains (relationships with friends, establishing a new relationship with an intimate partner, sexuality, relationship with a current intimate partner, parental control and living with parents, and family conflict) in the pre-pandemic period and in the first two waves of the pandemic. We were also interested in whether demographic variables were related to the students’ perceived social difficulties. The results showed that the severity of reported difficulties increased in all six domains during the government-imposed quarantine periods, with relationships with friends and the opportunity to establish new intimate relationships being the most affected. In addition, we found differences in the extent of perceived difficulties related to educational status, gender, intimate relationship, and change in living situations. The study offers insight into the socio-emotional life of students during a non-normative life event that educators should acknowledge.

Secondary title: Težave slovenskih dijakov in študentov v tesnih medosebnih odnosih med pandemijo covida-19
Secondary abstract: V študiji sva preučevali težave v tesnih medosebnih odnosih, s katerimi so se spoprijemali slovenski dijaki in študentje, stari od 18 do 25 let, med pandemijo covida-19. Primerjali sva stopnjo težav v tesnih odnosih na področjih odnosov s prijatelji, vzpostavljanja nove partnerske zveze, spolnosti, trenutnega partnerskega odnosa, starševskega nadzora in prebivanja s starši ter družinskih konfliktov v času pred pandemijo in v prvih dveh valovih pandemije. Zanimala naju je tudi povezanost nekaterih demografskih spremenljivk z zaznanimi težavami v tesnih odnosih. Rezultati so pokazali, da se je stopnja zaznanih težav v času dveh valov pandemije povišala na vseh šestih področjih odnosov, najbolj na področju odnosov s prijatelji in vzpostavljanja nove partnerske zveze. Stopnja zaznanih težav je bila povezana tudi z izobraževalno stopnjo udeležencev, s spolom, prisotnostjo ali z odsotnostjo partnerskega razmerja in s spremembo prebivališča. Študija nudi strokovnim delavcem na področju vzgoje in izobraževanja vpogled v socialno-emocionalno življenje mladih v času nenormativnega življenjskega dogodka in omogoča razmislek o intervencijah ob podobnih dogodkih v prihodnosti.
