Abstract

Adolescencija je razdoblje biološkog, kognitivnog, psihosocijalnog i emocionalnog
razdoblja. Razvoj kognicije omogućuje psihosocijalni razvoj poput razvoja vlastitog
identiteta i samousmjeravanja prema vlastitim ideologijama. Kako bi razvoj tekao uredno,
potrebno je voditi brigu o mentalnom zdravlju.
Iz grada Wuhana u Kini, krajem 2019. godine je krenula zarazna bolest koja je
zahvatila cijeli svijet. SZO ju je nazvala COVID-19, a u Republici Hrvatskoj se po prvi put
pojavila 25. veljače 2020. Proglašenjem karantene u svijetu, kako bi se spriječilo širenje
zaraze, zatvorile su se sve odgojno- obrazovne ustanove što je direktno utjecalo na
adolescente ukidanjem socijalizacije, svakodnevnih obaveza i donošenjem nove
prilagodbe na internetsku provedbu nastave i novim načinima komunikacije s vršnjacima.
Adolescenti su bili jako izloženi emocionalnim poremećajima, poremećajima
ponašanja i hranjenja, zlouporabi psihoaktivnih tvari, psihozama, samoubojstvima i
samoozljeđivanjem. Kako je pandemija napredovala, tako je rasla stopa emocionalnih
poremećaja, naročito anksioznih i depresije. Karantena i socijalna izolacija imaju
negativan utjecaj na život pojedinca. Narušavanje mentalnog zdravlja može uzrokovati
kratkotrajne ili dugotrajne posljedice na pojedinca koje ćemo tek upoznati kroz nekoliko
godina kada će zahvaćeni adolescenti postati odrasli.

Abstract (english)

Adolescence is a biological, cognitive, psychosocial and emotional period. The
development of cognition enables psychosocial development such as the development
of one's own identity and self-direction according to one's own ideologies. In order for
development to proceed properly, it is necessary to take care of mental health. From the
city of Wuhan in China, at the end of 2019, an infectious disease started that affected the
whole world. The World Health Organization called it COVID-19, and it appeared in the
Republic of Croatia for the first time on February 25, 2020. By declaring a quarantine in
the country and the world in order to prevent the spread of the infection, all educational
institutions were closed, which directly affected adolescents by abolishing socialization,
daily obligations and making new adaptations to online teaching and new ways of
communicating with peers. Adolescents were under the magnifying glass of emotional
disorders, behavioral and eating disorders, abuse of psychoactive substances,
psychoses, suicides and self-harm. As the pandemic progressed, so did the rate of
emotional disorders, especially anxiety and depression. Quarantine and social isolation
have a negative impact on an individual's life. Disruption of mental health can cause shortterm or long-term consequences for an individual that we will only be visible in a few years
when the affected adolescents will become people.
