The study objective was to explore children and adolescents' views on coping with stress and aversive feelings.
Swedish children and adolescents from Värmland county, aged 10-14 (N = 44, girls = 26), participated in group interviews on health and coping. In total, eight group interviews were conducted at four different schools.
Data was analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis and resulted in three themes: Accepting and expressing feelings, Doing things that make you feel good, and Searching for help.
Encouraging healthy emotional expression, support-seeking, and challenging societal norms can, according to the analysis of children and adolescents' testimonies, foster resilience. Family, peers, student health services, professionals, teachers, and animals contribute to their coping resources, with trust and relatability playing significant roles. The implications of the study can inform and improve future child health interventions and educational programs for nurturing effective coping skills from an early age.
本研究的目的是探讨儿童和青少年应对压力和厌恶情绪的观点。
来自韦姆兰县的10 - 14岁瑞典儿童和青少年(N = 44,女孩 = 26)参与了关于健康和应对的小组访谈。总共在四所不同的学校进行了八次小组访谈。
采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行分析,得出三个主题:接受和表达情感、做让自己感觉良好的事情、寻求帮助。
根据对儿童和青少年证词的分析,鼓励健康的情感表达、寻求支持和挑战社会规范可以培养恢复力。家庭、同龄人、学生健康服务机构、专业人员、教师和动物都为他们的应对资源做出贡献,信任和亲和力起着重要作用。该研究的意义可为未来的儿童健康干预措施和教育项目提供参考,以从小培养有效的应对技能。
