Abstract

Unatoč prisutnom trendu deinstitucionalizacije, u Hrvatskoj se još uvijek velik
broj osoba s duševnim smetnjama trajno smještava u institucije. U okolnostima
odvojenog života od ostalih članova obitelji, dugotrajna separacija može uzrokovati
slabljenje obiteljskih veza i jačanje socijalne izolacije osoba s duševnim smetnjama. U
ovom radu prikazani su rezultati kvalitativnog istraživanja čiji cilj je dobiti uvid u
doživljaj obiteljske povezanosti i podrške od članova obitelji iz perspektive osoba s
duševnim smetnjama pod institucionalnim oblikom skrbi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo
12 osoba s duševnim smetnjama pod institucionalnim oblikom skrbi na području
sjeverozopadnog dijela Hrvatske. Podaci su prikupljeni metodom polustrukturiranog
intervjua. Rezultati pokazuju da osobe s duševnim smetnjama pod institucionalnim
oblikom skrbi povezanost s obitelji ostvaruju ponajviše putem kratkih telefonskih poziva
u kojima sa članovima obitelji izmjenjuju informacije o svakodnevnim događajima, o
bolesti ili aktualnim problemima. Kod većine sudionika radi se o obostranom iniciranju
kontakata koji imaju izrazito pozitivno značenje u životu korisnika. Istovremeno kod
nekih sudionika ne postoje redoviti kontakti s obitelji te sudionici doživljajvaju da ih neki
članovi obitelji izbjegavaju ili nedovoljno skrbe o njima. U takvim slučajevima sudionici
opisuju iskustvo neslaganja u obitelji te doživljaj odbačenosti i zanemarivanja. U
pozitivnim primjerima obitelj je zadržala važnu ulogu socijalne podrške. Najviše se radi
o pružanju financijske sigurnost, utjehe te doživljaju emocionalne brige. Sudionicima
najviše nedostaje zajedničko provođenje vremena s obitelji.

Abstract (english)

In spite of present trend toward deinstitutionalization, for Croatia is specific
that a lots of people with mentall illness is still permanently putting in institutions. In
circumstances referred to separate life from family members, long-term separation can
cause weakening of social ties and strengthening social isolation of people with mental
illness. This work shows the results of qualitative research wich aim was to get an
insight in perception of family cohesion and support from family members from
perspective of people with mental illness in institutional care. 12 people with mental
illness in institutional care in area of northwest Croatia took part in the resarch. Data
was collected with semi-strucured interview method. The results show us that people
with mental illness in institutions make cohesion with their family mostly through short
phone calls when they talk about everyday happenings, about illness or current
problems. For most of the participants is about mutuall contact initiating whose family
members have positive meaning in their life. At the same time for some participants
regular family contacts do not exist and participants experience that some family
members are avoidng them or take unsufficient care about them. In positive examples
family continued to have great role in social support. It is the most about giving
financial safety, comfort and experience of emotional care. Participants consider
spending time with family to be lacking at most.
