Abstract

Sindrom Down (eng. Down Syndrome) je najčešći genetski poremećaj koji nastaje uslijed viška jednog kromosoma ili dijela kromosoma u jezgri svake stanice tijela. On sprječava normalan fizički i mentalni razvoj djeteta. Upravo zbog toga, emocionalna i psihološka podrška i briga za dijete s teškoćama u razvoju može utjecati na mentalno i fizičko zdravlje roditelja i ostalih članova obitelji. Upravo zbog toga su roditeljima potrebni različiti oblici osnaživanja i podrške u svakodnevnom odgoju djeteta. Jedan od resursa osnaživanja roditelja djece sa sindromom Down je duhovnost. Ona se odnosi na područje ljudske egzistencije, koja koje daje vlastitom životu osjećaj smislenosti, povezanosti, integriteta i nade. Budući da je duhovnost osobno traganje za razumijevanjem odgovora na konačna pitanja o životu i o smislu života, dokazano utječe na kvalitetu života, odnosno na ukupnu dobrobit i percepciju pojedinca o vlastitom položaju u životu, uključujući i aspekte tjelesnog i mentalnog zdravlja.

Abstract (english)

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic disorder caused by excess of one chromosome or part of chromosome in nucleus of every cell in the body. It hinders normal physical and mental development in a child. Because of this, emotional and psychological support and care for such a child can affect mental and physical health of parents and other family members. For this reason parents require various forms of empowerment and support in everyday parenting. Spirituality is one of resources for empowering parents of children with Down syndrome. Spirituality is referred as an area of human existence that gives the sense of purpose, coherence, integrity and hope. Since spirituality is a personal quest in finding the answers to ultimate questions about life and its meaning, it impacts ones quality of life, and its overall well-being together with the perception of their situation in life, including aspects of physical and mental health
