Abstract Usprkos značajnim pomacima i uloženim naporima u svrhu postizanja normalizacije i bolje kvalitete života osoba s invaliditetom, područje njihove spolnosti još uvijek ostaje tema o kojoj se slabo govori. Stavovi prema spolnosti osoba s intelektualnim teškoćama (IT ) odraz su razine društvene osviještenosti, prihvaćanja i podrške za ovaj aspekt njihovih života (Gilmore i Chambers, 2010). U tom je smislu, od posebnog interesa ispitati stavove ne samo društva općenito, nego i studenata koji se
... More školuju za zanimanja u sklopu kojih će se susresti s izazovima vezanim uz seksualno izražavanje, ponašanje, potrebe i prava osoba s IT, a čiji bi stavovi mogli imati značajan utjecaj na opseg i kvalitetu podrške i kvalitetu života osoba u njihovoj skrbi. Prema Franco i sur. (2012) pozitivniji stavovi prema spolnosti osoba s IT karakteristični su za one koji su stekli dostatno znanje o toj temi i imali više doticaja i osobnog iskustva s osobama s IT. Cilj ovog rada je ispitati stavove studenata hrvatskih sveučilišta prema spolnosti osoba s IT te odgovoriti na pitanja razlikuju li se stavovi studenata različitih studijskih područja i poglavito, postoji li razlika između studenata ERF-a, studenata srodnih studija (koji će dolaziti u doticaj s osobama s IT, kao npr. liječnici, psiholozi, socijalni radnici, učitelji) te studenata ostalih studijskih područja. U svrhu istraživanja kreiran je upitnik koji obuhvaća demografske podatke studenata, pitanje o iskustvu s osobama s IT te skalu stavova prema spolnosti osoba s IT. Stavovi su ispitivani skalom Likertovog tipa konstruiranom na temelju prilagodbe pitanja iz Attitudes toward Sexuality Scale (Cuskelly i Bryde, 2004) i The Attitudes towards Sexuality and Students with Intellectual Disability Scale (Parker, 2012). Ukupan broj čestica je 19, a obuhvaćene su teme seksualnosti, osobnih odnosa, braka i roditeljstva. Ispitivanje je provedeno putem online obrasca podijeljenog putem socijalnih mreža i online grupa koje okupljaju veliki broj studenata. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 556 studenata; 428 ženskog i 128 muškog spola. Kako bi se ustanovili stavovi studenata prema spolnosti osoba s IT i eventualne razlike među pojedinim skupinama studenata, izračunati su osnovni statistički parametri, provedena deskriptivna analiza dobivenih podataka i testiranje razlika među skupinama korištenjem neparametrijskih testova (Kruskal-Wallis test). Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da postoji statistički značajna razlika u stavovima studenata različitih studijskih područja, pri čemu najpozitivnije stavove pokazuju studenti ERF-a, zatim studenti srodnih studija, dok su najmanje pozitivni stavovi studenata ostalih studijskih područja Less
Abstract (english) Despite significant developments and efforts to achieve normalisation and better quality of life for people with disabilities, the area of their sexuality still remains a subject that is rarely spoken of. Attitudes towards the sexuality of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) reflect the level of social awareness, acceptance and support for this aspect of their lives (Gilmore & Chambers, 2010). In this regard, it is of particular interest to examine the attitudes of not only
... More society in general, but also students who study for professions in which they will encounter challenges related to the sexual expression, behaviour, needs and rights of persons with ID and whose attitudes could have a significant impact on the scope and quality of support and quality of life of the person in their care. According to Franco et al. (2012) more positive attitudes towards the sexuality of people with ID are characteristic for those who have gained sufficient knowledge on the subject and have had more contact and personal experience with people with intellectual disabilities. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes of Croatian university students towards the sexuality of people with ID and to answer the questions whether the attitudes of students from different study areas differ and mainly, is there a difference between Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences students, students of related studies (which will come into contact with people with ID, e.g. physicians, psychologists, social workers, teachers) and students of other study areas. For research purposes, a questionnaire has been created that includes students' demographic data, a question of experience with people with ID and the scale of attitudes towards the sexuality of people with ID. The attitudes were examined by a Likert type scale constructed by adapting questions from the Attitudes toward sexuality scale (Cuskelly &i Bryde, 2004) and the Attitudes towards sexuality and students with intellectual disability scale (Parker, 2012). The total number of items was 19, which covered topics of sexuality, personal relationships, marriage and parenthood. The survey was conducted through an online form shared through social networks and online groups that gather a large number of students. The total number of respondents was 556; 428 female, 128 male. In order to establish the attitudes of students towards the sexuality of people with ID and any possible differences between individual groups of students, basic statistical parameters were calculated, descriptive analysis of the obtained data and differences between groups using non-parametric tests (Kruskal-Wallis test) were carried out. The obtained results show that there is a statistically significant difference in the attitudes of students from different study areas, with the most positive attitudes shown by the students of the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, followed by the students of related studies, while the least positive attitudes were shown by the students from other study areas.
