dc.description.abstract | The main scope of this research study was to explore the local scenario on factors affecting mental and emotional wellbeing of young people before suggesting promotion on awareness for such findings and discussing possible alternative solutions if the need arises. The methodology of this research study was based on a twofold approach: qualitative and quantitative approaches. Literature was reviewed prior formulating the questionnaires and conducting the interviews. Hundred questionnaires were distributed to mainly secondary, post-secondary and tertiary students in order to measure their state of mental and emotional wellbeing. A pilot study was conducted and some alterations had to be made. In order to apprehend a qualitative approach, I interviewed two health professionals, four social educators in this field and four parents of young people. Microsoft Excel operating on Windows'95 was used as to report and display the data in the form of figures and tables. This display was vital to make the necessary contrasts, comparisons and to note relations between variables. Finally a variety of suggestions can be traced towards the end of this dissertation. This research project should be of interest and a helpful indication to all those prospective or practising youth workers who are interested in understanding and addressing the complexity of adolescence. | en_GB |
