Abstract

Trening orijentacije i kretanja studentima oštećena vida pruža mogućnost obuke za sigurno i samostalno kretanje. Cilj ovog rada bio je pružiti uvid u dobrobiti treninga, ali i u izazove s kojima se studenti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu susreću u treningu orijentacije i kretanja. Istraživanje je provedeno u svibnju 2024. godine, a u istraživanju je sudjelovalo pet studenata oštećena vida sa zagrebačkog Sveučilišta koji su stanovnici studentskog doma Cvjetno naselje. Podaci su prikupljani metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. Rezultati pokazuju da obitelj igra bitnu ulogu za ulazak studenata oštećena vida u trening orijentacije i kretanja, a za samostalno kretanje studenata važna je prilagođena i poticajna okolina koja prepoznaje njihovu potrebu za samostalnošću u kretanju. Nakon provedenog treninga orijentacije i kretanja došlo je do povećanja samostalnosti studenata, a trening je utjecao i na pojavu pozitivnijih stavova studenata po pitanju njihovog kretanja. U budućim istraživanjima potrebno je ispitati kakva su iskustva studenata oštećena vida s treningom orijentacije i kretanja koji dolaze s drugih Sveučilišta u Hrvatskoj, ali i kako su mjesto stanovanja i dostupnost usluga treninga povezani sa upisom studija.

Abstract (english)

Orientation and mobility training provides students with visual impairments the opportunity to learn how to move safely and independently. The aim of this study was to provide insight into the benefits of this training, as well as challenges faced by students at the University of Zagreb during the orientation and mobility training. The survey was conducted during May 2024 and involved five visually impaired students from the University of Zagreb who reside in Studentski dom Cvjetno naselje. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The results show that family plays essential role in encouraging visually impaired students to engage in orientation and mobility training. To achieve independent mobility, supportive and adaptive environment that recognized need for independence in movement is crucial for visually impaired students. Following the completion of orientation and mobility training, there was an increase in the students’ independence, and also training led to more positive attitudes towards their mobility. Future research should examine the expiriences of visually impaired students from other universities in Croatia with orientation and mobility training. Additionally, it is important to explore how the place of residence ant the availability of training services is related to university enrollment.
