DO STUDENTS GO TO COUNSELLING ACTIVITIES?

Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century in the U.S., psychological intervention one might say that have been born. This research started from the following hypothesis: there is a correlation between the awareness of the existence of counseling offices and the degree of addressability to the services offered by counseling offices. The method used was a questionnaire survey (Alpha Cronbach coefficient is .790), applied on 207 students. The existence of the counselling office in the university is unknown for 54.6% of students (113 subjects) and there are 55.1% (114 subjects) who do not know that there is a counselling office within the university, registering a correlation of .657** (p-0.01). Due to not knowing about the existence of this office and the services offered by it, the 152 subjects – there are 73.4% who never called the counselor, and they come as a negative consequence, unfortunately. Out of 23 students - 11.1% very rarely addressed counselling services and 16 students -7.7% rarely called the services of the counseling office. Only 1 student - 0.5% and 3 students -1.4% say they have very often or often turned to the counselling office in their student life. A number of 12 students - 5.8% declare that they have turned to the school counsellor every now and then.
