Abstract

Ovaj rad daje prikaz rezultata kvalitativnog istraživanja kojem je cilj bio opisati
doživljaj deinstitucionalizacije djece u dobi od 0-7 godina u domovima socijalne skrbi
iz perspektive socijalnih radnika (N=5). Provedbom intervjua smo dobili informacije
o organizaciji sustava u procesu deinstitucionalizacije koja je nepripremljena i
nesustavna, stručnjaka je malo te su preopterećeni; promjeni vrste usluga koje pružaju
ustanove pa su se tako povećali cjelodnevni i poludnevni boravci te je uvedena usluga
savjetovanja i pomaganja obiteljima. Socijalni radnici ukazuju na promjene vezane za
smanjen broj djece na smještaju ali istovremeno je kapacitet popunjen. Nadalje,
socijalne radnice su ukazale na nerazvijenost udomiteljstva, promjene vezane uz ulogu
socijalnih radnica koje sada imaju puno više posla koji je raznovrstan a uz sve to
nemaju formalnu podršku. Sudionici istraživanja ukazali su na okolnosti suradnje s
različitim dionicima u skrbi te poteškoće koje iz nje proizlaze. Kao izazove u procesu
deinstitucionalizacije sudionici navode na razini sustava sporost sudskih procesa,
izmjene zakona, teško pronalaženje udomiteljskih obitelji i povećanje opsega posla.
Izazovi koje prepoznaju a vezuju se uz razinu djeteta su situacije teško posvojive djece
te na razini roditelja djece rad s njihovim otporima.

Abstract (english)

This paper presents the outcomes of qualitative research aiming to describe the
deinstitutionalisation experience of children up to 7 years old in social welfare homes
from the perspective of social workers (N=5). Conducted interviews revealed the
information on the organization of the deinstitutionalisation process system, which is
unplanned and unsystematic. It has been deduced that there is few professionals and
they are overloaded, namely the kind of service provided by the institutions has
changed, thus increasing full-day and half-day stays, along with introducing
consulting service for helping families. There has been a decrease in the number of
institutionalised children, while the capacity has been fully reached at the same time.
Moreover, social workers have pointed to the issue of foster care underdevelopment
and changes closely connected to the role of social workers who lack the formal
support and now have much more work, which has become pretty diverse. In
deinstitutionalisation process they cooperate well with foster carers and adopters,
whereas they cooperate sometimes bad sometimes well with CZSS (Centre for Social
Welfare), as well as with the parents of institutionalised children. The challenges of
deinstitutionalisation are numerous so social workers list the challenges at system
level due to sluggishness of court cases, act amendments, hard pursuit of foster
families and, again, increase in workload. Furthermore, social workers face
challenges of children who are not easily adopted, as well as with resistant parents of
institutionalised children.
