Abstract

Mentalno zdravlje je bitan aspekt cjelokupnog zdravlja te je njegovo očuvanje postalo jedan od najvažnijih ciljeva u javnom zdravstvu u svijetu i u Republici Hrvatskoj. Mentalno zdravlje ima kognitivne, emocionalne i bihevioralne aspekte, a adolescencija i djetinjstvo pripadaju u kritična životna razdoblja u smislu čimbenika koji mogu nepovoljno utjecati na bilo koji od njegovih aspekata. Djeca i adolescenti s teškoćama u razvoju su vulnerabilna populacija s povećanim rizikom za probleme mentalnog zdravlja. Kod osoba s teškoćama u razvoju problemi mentalnog zdravlja se javljaju češće nego u općoj populaciji. Uz adekvatnu podršku, djeca i adolescenti s teškoćama u razvoju mogu biti psihički zdravi i adaptirani u svojoj socijalnoj sredini zadovoljavajući svoje potrebe.
Cilj ovog preglednog rada je dobiti prikaz relevantnih istraživanja i dosadašnjih spoznaja vezanih uz obilježja mentalnog zdravlja djece i adolescenata s teškoćama u razvoju te se njime žele prikazati neki čimbenici koji omogućavaju očuvanje mentalnog zdravlja kao i čimbenici koji utječu na probleme mentalnog zdravlja. Ukazujući na činjenicu da su intelektualne teškoće, poremećaj iz spektra autizma, cerebralna paraliza, oštećenje vida te oštećenje sluha neke od najčešćih neurorazvojnih teškoća u djece, bit će prikazani radovi autora koji su istraživali mentalno zdravlje spomenute populacije. Ovaj rad se osvrće i potiče na suradnju stručnjaka različitih disciplina i na njihovu edukaciju kako bi svojem znanjem mogli pridonijeti mentalnom zdravlju, odnosno, kvaliteti života djece i adolescenata s teškoćama u razvoju.
