NACIONALNOST KAO FAKTOR U FORMIRANJU STAVOVA STUDENATA PREMA TRAŽENJU PSIHOLOŠKE POMOĆI
NATIONALITY AS A FACTOR UNDERPINNING STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD SEEKING PSYCHOLOGICAL HELP

Summary/Abstract: Student life often involves separating from home, parents and parental support, so for students it, not rarely, presents a quite challenging, difficult and stressful period of life. For these reasons, students become the users of psychological counseling services. The aim of this paper is to explore whether students’ nationality is an important factor contributing to the development of attitudes toward seeking psychological help. As the instrument we used a Scale for Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help comprising four subscales: recognition of the need for psychological help, the tolerance of stigma associated with seeking psychological help, interpersonal openness toward somebody elses problems, and confidence in mental health professionals. The sample consisted of 600 students, coming from three countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey. The research was carried out using an online questionnaire.
