When the school moves into your home : a quantitative survey study about upper secondary school pupils’ needs of psychosocial support in school during distance studies (English)
Abstract [en]
Since the entrance of the covid-19 pandemic in Sweden, Swedish upper secondary schools have partly or fully passed on to distance studies. The aim of this study is to find out what social support and health-promoting activities the pupils wish to participate in during distance studies. Quantitative methods have been used by carrying out online surveys among students in upper secondary schools. The data consists of 273 respondents from 14 different schools in Sweden. Social capital theories have been used to interpret the collected data. The results show that pupils' experiences of distance studies during the pandemics are overall negative. The three aspects that are reported most negatively by the pupils themselves, are their school motivation, their sense of fellowship and their physical activity. Concerning social support, the results show that pupils born in Sweden feel they have a broader social support network than pupils born elsewhere. The results also display that one out of three pupils probably would participate in conversational support with the school counselor during distance studies. The need for motivational and advisory conversations are the highest. Ultimately the results demonstrate that support and health-promoting activities are most wanted within the topics mental health, eating habits and physical activity. Examples of support and activities that are highly in demand are workshops about handling stress and anxiety, collective lunches with peers and physical activity in small groups. The analysis show that factors such as gender and ethnical background affect the pupils’ choices of support and activity.
Abstract [sv]
Sedan covid19-pandemins intåg i Sverige har de svenska gymnasieskolorna helt eller delvis övergått till distansstudier. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på vilken typ av psykosocialt stöd samt vilka hälsofrämjande aktiviteter eleverna önskar att ta del av under distansstudier. Kvantitativ metod har använts genom att genomföra webbenkäter bland gymnasieelever. 273 respondenter från 14 skolor i Sverige utgör datat. Teorier inom socialt kapital har använts för att tolka det insamlade materialet. Resultatet visar att elevernas upplevelse av distansstudier under pandemin är övergripande negativ. De tre livsaspekter som påverkats mest negativt enligt eleverna är deras skolmotivation, känsla av gemenskap och deras fysiska aktivitet. Vad gäller socialt stöd visar resultatet att inrikesfödda upplever att de har ett bredare socialt stöd än utrikesfödda. Resultatet visar att en av tre elever troligtvis skulle ta del av samtalsstöd under distansstudier och det råder mest behov av motivations- och rådgivningssamtal. Slutligen visar resultatet att eleverna önskar mest stöd och hälsofrämjande aktiviteter inom teman psykisk hälsa, matvanor och fysisk aktivitet. Exempel på stöd och aktiviteter som är eftertraktade är workshops om stress och ångesthantering, gemensamma luncher och fysisk aktivitet i liten grupp. Analysen visar att faktorer som kön och etnisk bakgrund påverkar elevernas val av stöd och aktiviteter.
