| Abstract | Kada govorimo o anoreksiji nervozi (AN), govorimo o opasnom poremećaju prehrane, ali i
ozbiljnoj mentalnoj bolesti kod koje se pojavljuje pretjerana tjelesna aktivnost, kalorijska
restrikcija te metaboličke promjene. Kod napredovanja AN, može doći do značajnog gubitka
kilograma i drugih komplikacija s kojima je povezana. S druge strane, AN osobe imaju
iskrivljenu sliku tijela i pretjeran strah od dobivanja na tjelesnoj težini. Zbog reduciranja unosa
energije, u vrlo kratkom vremenskom periodu dolazi do izuzetnog gubitka kilograma te na kraju
može rezultirati popriličnim gubitkom tjelesne težine. Kod pojedinih pacijenata mogući su
recidivi. Postoje dva tipa anoreksije, a to je restriktivni i purgativni tip, koji se manifestiraju po
velikoj potrebi za kontrolom nad hranom i kilogramima. AN najčešće ima svoju pojavnost u
adolescenciji i mladoj odrasloj dobi čiji glavni uzrok je nepoznat. U AN se javljaju
patofiziološke odrednice, kojima pripadaju metabolički i endokrini aspekti. Pretjerana tjelesna
aktivnost u kombinaciji s restrikcijom hrane može dovesti do ozbiljnog gubitka tjelesne težine.
Osobe oboljele od anoreksije daju preveliki značaj vlastitoj težini i obliku tijela te ulažu veliki
napor u njegovom ostvarenju što značajno ometa njihov život. Započinju strogo paziti i
smanjivati količinu hrane koju jedu s ciljem da spriječe debljanje i nastave gubiti na tjelesnoj
težini. Ukoliko dođe do gubitka nekoliko kilograma, strah od debljanja ne nestaje. Anoreksija
može imati značajne emocionalne, socijalne i fizičke posljedice.
Tijekom pisanja ovog završnog rada, cilj istraživanja je bio ispitati opću populaciju RH o
njihovoj razini znanja glede same anoreksije nervoze, o njihovim stavovima i predrasudama.
Rezultati istraživanja su doprinijeli boljem razumijevanju i uvidu u samu informiranost
populacije. Što se tiče analize podataka, koristili su se statistički pokazatelji. Putem anketnog
istraživanja, prikupljeni su podaci u kojem je prisustvovalo 274 sudionika. Prema rezultatima
istraživanja velika većina i to 42% sudionika, sudjelovala je u dobi od 18-25 godina. |
| Abstract (english) | When we talk about anorexia nervosa (AN), we are talking about a dangerous eating
disorder, but also a serious mental illness, which is characterized by excessive physical activity,
caloric restriction and metabolic changes. As AN progresses, there may be significant weight
loss and other complications associated with it. On the other hand, AN people have a distorted
body image and an exaggerated fear of gaining weight. Exceptional weight loss in a very short
period of time is due to a reduction in energy intake, and in the end it can result in considerable
weight loss. In some patients, they are possible. There are two types of anorexia, the restrictive
and the purgative type, which are manifested by a great need to control food and weight. AN
most often occurs in adolescence and young adulthood, the main cause of which is unknown.
Pathophhysiological determinants appear in AN, which include metabolic and endocrine aspects.
Excessive physical activity combined with food restriction can lead to serious weight loss.
People suffering from anorexia attachh too much importance to their own weight and body shape
and invest a lot of effort in achieving it, which significantly interferes with their life. They begin
to strictly watch and reduce the amount of food they eat in order to prevent weight gainand
continue to lose weight. If there is a loss of a few kilograms, the fear of gaining weight does not
disappear. Anorexia as a mental illness can have significant emotional, soacial and physical
consequences.
During the writing of this final paper, the goal of the research was to examine the general
population of the Republic of Croatia about their level of knowledge regarding anorexia nervosa
itself, about their attitudes and prejudices. The results of the research contributed to a better
understanding and insight into the informedness of the population itsellf. Regarding data
analysis, statistical indicators were used. Through survey research, data was collected in which
274 participants attended. According to the results of the research,the vast majority, 42% of the
participants, participated in the age group of 18-25. |
