Abstract

U uvodnom dijelu rada opisane su prednosti alternativnih oblika skrbi u odnosu na institucionalnu skrb nakon izdvajanja djece iz primarnih obitelji. Poseban naglasak je stavljen na opis instituta specijaliziranog udomiteljstva djece s poteškoćama u ponašaju i njegov razvoj i stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj. Također prikazani su rezultati kvalitativnog istraživanja čiji cilj je bio dobiti uvid u iskustva djece s poteškoćama u ponašanju o prekidu udomiteljske skrbi. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua s osam sudionika korisnika Centra za pružanje usluga u zajednici Zagreb-Dugave koji su prethodno imali iskustvo smještaja u udomiteljskoj obitelji. Rezultati istraživanja o iskustvu korisnika o udomiteljskoj skrbi pokazali su da korisnici smatraju da udomitelji i udomljena djeca nisu dovoljno pripremljeni za udomiteljsku skrb te da udomitelji nisu dovoljno educirani za udomljavanje djece s teškoćama u ponašanju. Sudionici udomiteljstvo doživljavaju najčešće kao zamjensku obitelj, a kao razloge prekida udomiteljske skrbi navode izloženost fizičkom nasilju, problemima u školi, vlastito neprihvatljivo ponašanje, narušene odnose u udomiteljskoj obitelji te prestanak bavljenja udomiteljstvom od strane udomitelja. Također, sudionici udomiteljski smještaj percipiraju kao nestabilan te uviđaju nužnost promjena.

Abstract (english)

The benefits of alternative forms of care in regard to institutional care after separation of children from the primary families are presented in introduction. The description of the institution of specialized foster care for children with behavioral problems and its development and condition in the Republic of Croatia are pointed. The results of a qualitative research are also presented. The aim of this research was to gain insight into the experiences of children with behavioral disorder in discontinuation of foster care. The research was conducted using a semi-structured interview method. There were eight participants who were users of the Zagreb-Dugave Community Services Center. All of them had experience with placement in a foster family. The results of this study considering users' experiences of foster care show that users felt that foster parents and foster children were not adequately prepared for the foster care, while foster parents were not sufficiently educated to accommodate children with behavioral disorders. The participants perceive foster care usually as a surrogate family, while the reason behind of disruption of foster care is physical violence, problems at school, their own unacceptable behavior, broken relationships with foster family and disruption of foster care by foster parents. The participants perceive foster care as unstable and recognize the need for change.
