Abstract

Samomorilno vedenje in prevelika telesna teža predstavljata globalni javnozdravstveni problem. Prevelika telesna teža je pogosto povezana s samomorilnimi mislimi ter depresijo in občutki osamljenosti. V magistrski nalogi smo se osredotočili na raziskovanje vpliva prevelike telesne teže na razvoj samomorilnih misli ter ugotavljali, kakšno vlogo imata pri tem depresija in občutek osamljenosti. Prav tako nas je zanimalo, ali prihaja pri pojavljanju samomorilnih misli zaradi prevelike telesne teže do razlik med ženskim in moškim spolom. Naš raziskovalni vzorec je zajemal 753 udeležencev, od tega 252 moških udeležencev in 501 ženska udeleženka. Od 753 udeležencev je imelo preveliko telesno težo 346 udeležencev, 385 udeležencev je imelo normalno telesno težo, 19 udeležencev je bilo blago podhranjenih, 2 udeleženca sta bila zmerno podhranjena, 1 udeleženec pa hudo. Raziskovalne podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo štirih vprašalnikov (vprašanja o demografskih podatkih, Paykelova lestvica samomorilnega vedenja - PSS, Vprašalnik depresije, anksioznosti in stresa - DASS-21 in Vprašalnik osamljenosti - DLS), ki smo jih objavili na spletu. Kljub pričakovanjem da bomo lahko večino hipotez sprejeli, smo morali vse hipoteze razen hipoteze 4 zavrniti, hipotezo 4 smo delno sprejeli. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da ni statistično pomembne povezave med preveliko telesno težo in samomorilnimi mislimi. Ugotovili smo, da različne stopnje depresije napovedujejo statistično pomembno povezavo z razvojem samomorilnih misli. Pričakovane razlike pri pojavljanju samomorilnih misli med moškim in ženskim spolom s preveliko telesno težo se niso pokazale. Ugotovili smo, da se samomorilne misli zaradi prevelike telesne teže pojavljajo skoraj enako pogosto tako pri ženskem kakor tudi moškem spolu. Statistično pomembna povezava se je pokazala med preveliko telesno težo in občutki osamljenosti v kategoriji osamljenosti Skupnost. V ostalih kategorijah osamljenosti se le-ta ni pokazala.

Secondary title:	Suicidal behaviour and excess body weight
Secondary abstract:	Suicidal behavior and excess body weight present a global, public and health care problem. Excess body weight is in many cases connected to suicidal thoughts, depression and the feelings of loneliness. In the master thesis we focused on the research of how excess body weight influences on the development of suicidal thoughts and what role do depression and the feelings of loneliness play in it. We were also interested in the gender differences regarding the suicidal thoughts caused by excess body weight. Our research sample consisted of 753 participants (252 males and 501 females). From the 753 participants, there were 346 which had excess body weight, 385 had normal body weight, 19 participants where slightly undernourished, 2 participants were moderately undernourished, while 1 participant showed severe undernourishment. The research data was gathered with four questionnaires (questions about the demographical data, The Paykel et al. Questionnaire for Suicidal Ideation and Attempts - PSS, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales - DASS-21 and Differential Loneliness Scale - DLS) which were published on the internet. While we expected that the majority of hypotheses would be confirmed, we initially rejected almost all of them, except hypothesis number 4 which was partially confirmed. The research results showed that there is no statistically important connection between excess body weight and suicidal thoughts. We discovered that different levels of depression predict a statistically important connection with the development of suicidal thoughts. The expected differences in occurring of suicidal thoughts between males and females with excess body weight did not appear. We found out that suicidal thoughts caused by excess body weight manifest similarly with males and females. A statistically important connection was revealed between the excessive body weight and the feelings of loneliness in the category of community loneliness. In other categories we did not discover any statistically important connections.
