Abstract

Rad se bavi temom roditeljstva osoba s invaliditetom. U ovom radu smo željeli steći uvid u iskustva roditeljstva osoba sa invaliditetom, odnosno koje su potrebe roditelja sa invaliditetom, poteškoće s kojima se susreću u svakodnevnom zadovoljavanju potreba svoje djece te koji su izvori podrške koje koriste roditelji s invaliditetom. Provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje na uzorku od 6 roditelja s invaliditetom, putem polustrukturiranog intervjua. Podaci su obrađeni putem kvalitativne analize sadržaja. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata moguće je zaključiti da roditelji svoj invaliditet ne smatraju preprekom za roditeljstvo te se smatraju kompetentnim roditeljem iako su svjesni da iz njihovog invaliditeta proizlaze neke potrebe i poteškoće. Kao potrebe prvenstvevno navode nezadovoljene potrebe za podrškom, potrebu za prihvaćanjem od strane okoline te potrebu za ekonomskom samostalnošću, dok su im najveće poteškoće vezane uz stavove okoline i nasljeđe te negativna iskustva s radom institucija. Kao izvore podrške prvenstveno navode obitelj i prijatelje te druge oblike podrške kao što je vjera. Roditelji s invaliditetom slažu se da su vrsta i težina invaliditeta primarni faktori koji utječu na njihove potrebe, no smatraju kako bi se poboljšanjem položaja osoba s invaliditetom te uklanjanjem prostornih barijera uvelike pomoglo i da takvi roditelji sa svojom obitelji što kvalitetnije sudjeluju u životu zajednice.

Abstract (english)

The topic of this paper is parenthood of persons with disabilities. In this paper, the author wanted to gain insight into the experiences of parents with disabilities, that is, the needs of parents with disabilities, the difficulties they face in meeting their children's daily needs, and the sources of support used by parents with disabilities. A qualitative research was conducted on a sample of 6 disabled parents, through a semi-structured interview. The data were processed through qualitative content analysis. Based on the results obtained, it is possible to conclude that the parents do not regard their disability as a barrier to parenthood and are considered to be a competent parent, even though they are aware that some needs and difficulties arise from their disability. As a need, they claim to be unpopular with the need for support, the need for acceptance by the environment and the need for economic autonomy, while their greatest difficulty are related to the attitudes of the environment and the heritage and negative experiences with the work of the institutions. For support sources, they primarily mention family and friends and other forms of support such as faith. Disabled parents agree that the type and severity of disability are the primary factors influencing their needs, but believe that improving the position of people with disabilities in society and removing spatial
barriers greatly contributes to ensure that such parents and their family participate more effectively in community life.
