Sažetak
Purpose: It is estimated that more than 20 percent of the adult population in Europe suffer from some psy- chological problems or mental health disorders (Silobrčić-Radić, 2004). More than one in six people across EU countries had a mental health problem in 2016 (OECD/EU, 2018). Exercise can make benefit on different aspects of mental health of individual. In this paper we will pay attention to the effect of kinesitherapy on seve- ral aspects of coditions on persons with mental disability and mental illness, in further text will use the term persons with dual diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether there is influence of kinesitherapy to change of the mood and change of body weight in individuals with a dual diagnosis. Methods: In this study we had 20 respondents with dual diagnosis (mild mental retardation and schizophre- nia). Respondents where divided into two equal groups S1(10) and S2(10). The study lasted for 26 weeks. Re- spondents in S1 group were included in the group kinesitherapy for 45 minutes from Monday to Friday for the duration of the study. The data which were required this study were collected before and after the study. For assessment of mood we have used questionnaire whitch was modified for persons with mental disabilities, and to measure the body weight we have used medical scale. Results: Statistically significant difference in change of mood after participation in group kinesitherapy, was messured in S1 group (p <0.0005). When we have compared the mood in S1 and S2 group after study, S1 group have shown statistically significant better mood (p<0.0005). Within the S1 and S2 group there was not statistically significant difference in change of body weight before and after the study (S1-p = 0.284, S2- p = 0.275). In S1 group we have messured the highest decrease of body weight at the individual person of 8 kilos, while in the group S2 there was a person with highest increase in the body weight of 8.3 kilograms. Conclusions: On the basis of collected data we can say that kinesitherapy have a positive effect on a particular group of users and some spheres of their lives. With participating in the group kinesitherapy we have noticed that participants have developed a better social contact between themselves. In this study kinesitherapy have a positive effects on the mood of persons with dual diagnosis and they have accept kinesitherapy as method of rehabilitation. The combination with other rehabilitation methods is important for achieving the best and long lasting results. Because of mental helth problem in EU is increasing it should be noted that the effects of physical activity and kinesitherapy on people with psychological and mental problems is relatively poorly rese- arched, especially in people with a dual diagnosis.
