Abstract

Glavni cilj ovoga rada je dobivanje uvida u specifičnosti koje se odnose na udomiteljstvo djece s teškoćama u razvoju. U ovome radu obuhvaćena su područja koja ukazuju na motive udomljavanja djece s teškoćama u razvoju, gdje su prikazani različiti, intrinzični i ekstrinzični, motivi za udomljavanje. Najspominjaniji motivi su altruistički motivi koji se odnose na ljubav prema djeci i doprinos zajednici. Nadalje, u ovome radu prikazane su poteškoće udomitelja u pružanju skrbi djeci s teškoćama u razvoju. Nedovoljna informiranost o djetetovom zdravstvenom stanju, osjećaj nekompetentnosti u pružanju skrbi djeci s teškoćama u razvoju, nedostatna stručna pomoć i podrška samo su neke od poteškoća na koje udomitelji nailaze.
Privrženost i kvaliteta života skrbnika dva su značajna preduvjeta za kvalitetu života djece s teškoćama u razvoju. Dakle, stručni radnici koji rade s udomiteljskim obiteljima trebali bi posebnu pozornost staviti na podršku u izgradnji odnosa privrženosti djece i udomitelja, te na pomoć udomiteljima u unaprjeđenju njihovog mentalnog zdravlja i socijalnih interakcija.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of this final work is to get the insight into some specificities considering foster care of children with disabilities. This work also considers motives for this kind of foster care and shows some intrinsic and extrinsic foster care motives, where the most mentioned are altruistic ones related with love for children and the contribution to the community. Furthermore difficulties of foster care providers are tried to be shown. For example an insufficient information about the child's health condition, a sense of incompetence in providing care for children with disabilities and an insufficient professional help and support are the most significant and the most mentioned by the foster care providers.
Attachment and the foster parents’ life quality are two important preconditions for children's life quality. Therefore professional social workers who support foster families should pay their special attention on supporting attached relationships between children with disabilities and foster families, to help them improve both their mental health and social interactions.
