Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je prikazati istraživanja koja ispituju učinkovitost primjene mindfulness intervencija s djecom te ponuditi pregled glavnih zaključaka navedenih studija. Suvremeni način života i vanjski stresori značajno utječu na mentalno zdravlje djece, što dovodi do sve većeg broja problema mentalnog zdravlja u tom razvojnom razdoblju. U skladu s tim, postoji potreba za implementacijom preventivnih programa i strategija promocije mentalnog zdravlja u ranim fazama razvoja.
Istraživanja su pokazala da primjena programa baziranih na mindfulness praksi u odgojno-obrazovnim ustanovama, kao i u kliničkoj praksi s djecom, može imati pozitivne učinke na njihovo fiziološko, socijalno-emocionalno i ponašajno funkcioniranje. Stranim istraživanjima utvrđene su male, srednje i velike veličine efekata na pojedine konstrukte te nisu utvrđeni negativni efekti mindfulness intervencija. Mindfulness praksa usmjerena je na svjesno promatranje vlastitih osjećaja, misli i tjelesnih senzacija bez prosuđivanja. Ona potiče prihvaćanje stresnih događaja kao izazova, umjesto prijetnji, te razvija sposobnost djece za suočavanje s budućim stresnim i izazovnim situacijama u životu.
S obzirom na porast popularnosti mindfulness pristupa i interes za primjenu te prakse u odgojno-obrazovnom okruženju, ovaj rad pruža uvid u dobrobiti takvih programa te potiče daljnje istraživanje i implementaciju mindfulness intervencija kako bi se promovirala otpornost i mentalno zdravlje djece.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to present research examining the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions with children and provide an overview of the main conclusions from these studies. The modern way of life and external stressors significantly impact children's mental health, leading to an increasing number of mental health problems during this developmental period. Accordingly, there is a need for the implementation of preventive programs and strategies for promoting mental health in early stages of development.
Researches have shown that the implementation of mindfulness-based programs in educational institutions and clinical settings with children can have positive effects on their physiological, socio-emotional, and behavioral functioning. Foreign researches have identified small, medium, and large effect sizes on various constructs, and no negative effects of mindfulness interventions have been found. Mindfulness practice involves consciously observing one's own feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations without judgment. It fosters accepting stressful events as challenges rather than threats, and develops children's ability to cope with future stressful and challenging life situations.
Given the growing popularity of the mindfulness approach and the interest in its application in educational settings, this paper provides insights into the benefits of such programs and encourages further research and implementation of mindfulness interventions to promote resilience and children's mental health.
