Abstract

Sažetak
Ovim radom želi se dati doprinos boljem razumijevanju raznih teškoća s kojima se susreću obitelji ovisnika o kockanju, te potaknuti unapređenje psiho-socijalnog rada s obiteljima suočenih s ovom problematikom.
U radu su prikazani rezultati kvalitativnog istraživanja čiji je cilj dobiti uvid u doživljaj promjena u kvaliteti obiteljskog života, načinu funkcioniranja obitelji i suočavanju s ovisnošću o kockanju ovisno o tijeku razvoja ovisnosti, iz perspektive ovisnika o kockanju i njihovih supruga. Također opisane su strategije koje obitelji koriste za prevladavanje stresa i kriznih situacija uzrokovanih ovisnošću o kocki, te doživljaj ovisnika i njihovih supruga o postojećem sustavu formalne i neformalne podrške.
U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 12 osoba (šest ovisnika i šest njihovih supruga). Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na promjene u obiteljskim odnosima i ulogama u početcima pojave ovisnosti o kockanju te tijekom daljnjeg razvoja ovisnosti. Prikazan je specifičan ovisnički stil života, reakcije ovisnika prema članovima obitelji te reakcije djece i supruga prema ovisniku. Opisan je odnos ovisnika sa članovima primarne obitelji, posebice s roditeljima (tijekom odrastanja i nakon pojave ovisnosti), te uloga šire obitelji, prijatelja, okoline te stručnih ustanova i institucija u suočavanju obitelji s problemom ovisnosti.
Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da ovisnost o kockanju dovodi do razaranja obiteljskih veza, do gubitka prijatelja, zaposlenja te da uništava integritet osobe. Najveće krize u obitelji nastale su uslijed financijskog sloma obitelji, pojave zlostavljanja, narušenih odnosa u obitelji i gubitka povjerenja, preopterećenosti i emocionalnog sagorijevanja, te nedostatka resursa i podrške unutar obitelji i u široj okolini za efikasno suočavanje s problemom ovisnosti o kockanju.
U završnom dijelu istraživanja prikazane su preporuke sudionika istraživanja usmjerene na prevenciju te pravovremeno i efikasno rješavanje problema ovisnosti o

Abstract (english)

This paper will contribute to a better understanding of the various difficulties faced by families of gambling addicts and encourage improvement of psychosocial work with families facing this problem.
The paper presents the results of qualitative research from the perspective of gambling addicts and their wives which aims to get insight into the perception of changes in the quality of family life, the manner of functioning of the family and dealing with gambling addiction, depending on the course of development of dependency. It also describes the strategies that families use to overcome stress and crises caused by addiction to gambling, and the experience of addicts and their wives on the existing system of formal and informal support.
The study included a total of 12 people (six addicts and six spouses). The results indicate changes in family relationships and roles in the early days of the appearance of gambling addiction and then the further development of the addiction. It shows a specific addict lifestyle, the reaction of addicts to family members and the reactions of children and wives to addicts. It describes the relationship that addicts have with members of the primary family, especially parents (while growing up and after the occurrence of addiction), and the role of the extended family, friends, environment and professional institutions and institutions in facing families with addiction problems.
Survey results show that gambling addiction leads to the destruction of family ties, to the loss of friends and employment which in turn destroys the integrity of the person. The largest crises in families were created due to a financial collapse in the family, the appearance of abuse, broken relationships in families and loss of confidence, overload and emotional burnout and a lack of resources and support within the family and the wider community to confront the problem of gambling addiction.
In the final part of the research recommendations are given by survey participants focusing on prevention and timely and efficient resolution of problems to gambling addiction in the family and in the wider society.
