Uticaj pandemije Covid-19 na kvalitet života kod dece i odraslih sa poremećajem govora

Abstract

Kvalitet života pojedinca obuhvata široke domene zdravstvenih, socijalnih, emocionalnih i profesionalnih aspekata. Pojava pandemije COVID-19 uslovila je uvođenje specifičnih epidemioloških mera, što je dovelo do promena u dnevnim rutinama svih ljudi. Ove promene su znatno uticale i na njihovo psihosocijalno funkcionisanje. Posebno su se ovakve okolnosti odrazile i na psihosocijalno funkcionisanje dece i odraslih sa poremećajima govora. Razumevanje njihovih emocija i odgovora od suštinskog je značaja za pravilno rešavanje njihovih po- treba tokom pandemije COVID-19. Cilj ovoga rada je da se pregledom literature dođe do novih saznanja o vezi između pandemije COVID-19 i kvaliteta života kod dece i odraslih sa poremećajem govora. Pregled literature obavljen je preko pretraživača Google Scholar Advanced Search i Konzorcijuma biblioteka Srbije za objedinjenu nabavku – KoBSON. U uvodnom delu dat je pregled shvatanja uloge kvaliteta života i njenog značaja za celokupan razvoj. Nakon toga istaknut je značaj istraživanja uticaja pandemije COVID-19 na kvalitet života dece i odraslih sa poremećajem govora. Na samom kraju izvršena je elaboracija teorijskih razmatranja o kvali- tetu života odraslih osoba koje mucaju i koje se smatraju najvulnerabilnijom patologijom govora u vreme pandemije COVID-19. Dostupna istraživanja su pokazala da pandemija COVID-19 može u znatnoj meri da naruši kvalitet života dece i odraslih sa poremećajima govora. U skladu sa tim preporučuje se osmišljavanje strategija za pružanje što ranije pod- rške deci i odraslima sa poremećajima govora u cilju smanjenja dugoročnih efe- kata na njihov kvalitet života.

The quality of life of an individual encompasses broad domains, health, social, emotional and professional aspects. The appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic conditioned the introduction of specific epidemiological measures, which led to a change in the daily routines of all people. These changes significantly affect and affect their psychosocial functioning. These environments were especially reflected in the psychosocial functioning of children and adults with speech disorders. Understanding their emotions and responses is essential to properly address their needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this paper is to review the literature to gain new insights into the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and quality of life in children and adults with speech disorders. The literature review was performed through the Google Scholar Advanced Search search engine and the Consortium of the Library of Serbia for Unified Procurement – KoBSON. The introductory part provides an overview of the understanding of quality of life and its importance for overall development. After that, the importance of researching the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of children and adults with speech disorders was emphasized. At the very end, the theoretical considerations on the quality of life of stuttering adults were elaborated, which are considered to be the most vulnerable speech pathology at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Available research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic can significantly impair the quality of life of children and adults with speech disorders. Accordingly, it is recommended to devise a strategy to provide Serbian children and adults with speech disorders as early as possible in order to reduce the long-term effects on their quality.
