Tiivistelmä
This product-based thesis aims to produce a brochure about helping students cope with loneliness for English-speaking students in Diaconia University of Applied sciences in partnership with the student union O'Dia-ko. The brochure is created in co-operation with the student union, which is present in Diak's students' day-to-day life. They arrange different activities like peer tutoring, sports, events and assist with studies and student life.
Loneliness is experienced among all age groups as well as with the students of higher education. The product's need emerged due to a lack of existing material about loneliness in the Diaconia University of Applied sciences. The information for the brochure was gathered from academic literature. After creating the brochure, the feedback was collected from a group of English- speaking students, O'Diako, and a university social worker in Diak. The feedback was analyzed; the brochure was edited and evaluated accordingly. As a result, the brochure was produced, which contains the definition of loneliness, how to identify it, coping with loneliness, and whom to contact for getting help.
In conclusion, the brochure raises awareness and promotes students' knowledge about identifying and coping with loneliness. The purpose of this thesis is to help English speaking students cope with loneliness to help improve their well-being, and the brochure is available for them in the O'Diako office and their websites. It can be used as a tool by O'Diako and other university staff members with students.
