| Description | The level of stress can be determined by various methods. One of them is the ACE test. The main objective of the research was to determine the level of stressogenicity shown by people with behavioral and emotional disorders in institutional care and how toxic stress affects their symptoms. The research used a mixed design, the Czech version of the ACE test was applied in the quantitative part, and case studies of clients were compiled and analyzed in the qualitative part. The research sample included 22 clients in institutional care - 7 girls and 15 boys in adolescence. The results showed that the average level of toxic stress in the group was 3.5 points, which can be considered a risk score, when there is a risk of physical, psychological and social problems and a connection with the emergence or deepening of behavioral and emotional disorders. In the group, 14 clients achieved an ACE score of 3 or higher, which corresponds to a higher to high level of stress, while 8 clients had an ACE score lower than 3, which represents a normal to low level of stress. The group with increased stress was significantly more likely to engage in addictive behavior than the group without this burden. To improve the current situation, it is necessary to strengthen the prevention of risky behavior patterns, expand the network of low-threshold facilities for children and youth from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and focus on excluded and problem communities. |
