Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Children who have lost their parents are especially susceptible because they lack the mental and physical maturity to handle the emotional distress that comes with parental loss. This study aimed to assess the psychological effects of orphanhood in southwest Ethiopia.
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in southwest Ethiopia from January 1, 2019, to March 30, 2019. Orphan students who attended primary school at regular programs and those who live at orphanage centers were included. The study ecluded those orphans, who were adopted, not attending education, live in the street, and attending education, but absent at the time of data collection. A simple random sampling technique was employed to select participants. The SPSS version 21 used to entered and analyzed the collected data. Statistical tests such as independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to compare the mean of depression, anxiety, and stress level of orphan students regarding age, sex, and grade levels.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 322 participants, 176 (54.7%) of the respondents were males. One hundred ninety-two (59.6%) of the participants were aged 14-17 years. Male and female orphans differed significantly in terms of depression, and stress levels (P < 0.05), but not in terms of anxiety levels (p > 0.05). Across age groups and grade levels, there was a significant difference in the aspects of stress, anxiety, and depression (P 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Generally, we can conclude that psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) are common problems among orphans in the study area. Orphans who were grade 5thstudents are less psychologically challenged compared to others. Orphans aged 10-13 years were relatively less psychologically challenged than other age groups. As a result, strengthening connections between the care of orphans and other support groups, including charitable organizations or direct healthcare providers should be taken into consideration.
摘要:
失去父母的孩子特别容易受到影响,因为他们缺乏心理和生理上的成熟度来处理失去父母带来的情绪困扰。这项研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西南部孤儿的心理影响。
我们于2019年1月1日至2019年3月30日在埃塞俄比亚西南部进行了横断面调查。包括在常规课程上上小学的孤儿学生和住在孤儿院中心的学生。这项研究排除了那些孤儿,被收养的人,不参加教育,住在街上,参加教育,但在数据收集时没有。采用简单的随机抽样技术选择参与者。SPSS版本21用于输入和分析收集的数据。采用独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析等统计检验比较抑郁的均值,焦虑,以及孤儿学生年龄的压力水平,性别,和等级水平。
在322名参与者中,176(54.7%)的受访者是男性。92名(59.6%)的参与者年龄在14-17岁之间。男女孤儿在抑郁方面有很大差异,和应激水平(P<0.05),但在焦虑水平方面并非如此(p>0.05)。跨年龄组和年级,在压力方面有显著差异,焦虑,抑郁(P<0.05)。
一般来说,我们可以得出结论,心理问题(抑郁症,焦虑,和压力)是研究区域孤儿中的常见问题。与其他人相比,5年级学生的孤儿在心理上受到的挑战较少。与其他年龄组相比,10-13岁的孤儿在心理上的挑战相对较小。因此,加强孤儿护理和其他支持团体之间的联系,包括慈善组织或直接医疗服务提供者应考虑在内。
