Abstract

U radu je naglasak na romantičnim odnosima mladih s iskustvom smještaja u alternativnoj skrbi. Poznato je da su mladi iz alternativne skrbi osjetljiva socijalna skupina koja je u riziku od socijalne isključenosti, a nakon izlaska iz skrbi suočeni su sa brojnim poteškoćama povezanim sa samostalnim životom. Tada im je socijalna mreža prijeko potrebna jer su im odnosi s drugim osobama glavni izvor podrške. Štoviše, mladima su romantični odnosi vrlo važni te su im u fokusu životnih prioriteta. No, romantični odnosi za mlade mogu biti i izvor ranjivosti. Mnogi mladi imaju poteškoće u odnosima te krhke i konfliktne veze sa svojim partnerima/cama. Istraživanja su pokazala povezanost poteškoća u stvaranju i održavanju novih odnosa s traumatičnim iskustvima iz djetinjstva. Teorija privrženosti pruža razumijevanje nečijeg ponašanja u odnosima, točnije rana iskustva privrženosti i radni modeli stvoreni u djetinjstvu imaju dugoročne posljedice na oblikovanje kasnijih očekivanja pojedinca i kvalitetu njegovih romantičnih odnosa u odrasloj dobi. Nadalje, mladi sa iskustvom života u skrbi, češće od mladih iz opće populacije postaju roditelji u mladoj dobi te su suoćeni sa izazovima koje nosi roditeljstvo. Upravo struka socijalnog rada ima važnu ulogu kod pružanja podrške i pomoći mladima na način da stavi naglasak na važnost formiranja i održavanja zdravih romantičnih odnosa kako bi se mladima iz alternativne skrbi unaprijedila kvaliteta života.

Abstract (english)

The thesis focuses on the romantic relationships of care leavers with the experience of placement in alternative care. Young people from alternative care are vulnerable social group that is at risk of social exclusion, and after coming out of care are faced with a number of difficulties associated with independent living. Then they need a social network because their relationships with other people are their main source of support. Moreover, romantic relationships are very important to young people and they are in the focus of their life priorities. But romantic relationships for young people can also be a source of vulnerability. Many young people have difficulties in relationships and their relationships with partners are fragile and conflicted. Young people in research often associated difficulties in creating and maintaining new relationships with traumatic childhood experiences. In this case, attachment theory provides an understanding of one’s relationship behavior, more specifically early attachment experiences and work models created in childhood have long-term consequences on shaping an individual’s later expectations and the quality of his or her romantic relationships in adulthood. Furthermore, when comparing the general population of young people with care leavers, they are more likely to become parents at a young age and face the parenting challenges. The social work profession has an important role in providing support and assistance to care leavers by emphasizing the importance of forming and maintaining healthy romantic relationships in order to improve care leavers quality of life.
