Abstract

Odnosi braće i sestara jedni su od najvažnijih odnosa u životu svakog pojedinca. Funkcija njihovih veza je mnogobrojna, a neke od njih su socijalizacija djeteta, pružanje „modela uzora“ tijekom odrastanja i smanjenje učinka traume na dijete. U kontekstu alternativne skrbi odnosi braće i sestara postaju još važniji kao izvori otpornosti u prevladavanju nesigurnosti i teškoća u kojima se djeca nalaze. Teorija privrženosti ističe važnost razvoja kontakta i kvalitetnih bliskih odnosa, a teorija obiteljskih sustava objašnjava utjecaj međusobnih obiteljskih odnosa i drugih pojedinaca na bratsko-sestrinske odnose. Budući da se svijest o važnosti navedenih odnosa počela buditi tek unazad nekoliko godina, ne postoji puno stručnih i znanstvenih radova posvećenih ovoj tematici. Stoga će se u ovom radu istaknuti neke specifičnosti odnosa braće i sestara, posebno u alternativnoj skrbi i navesti značajna postojeća istraživanja u tom kontekstu. Osim toga, prikazat će se pozitivni ishodi zajedničkog i negativni ishodi odvojenog smještaja, te izazovi s kojima se braća i sestre u alternativnoj skrbi moraju nositi. U zaključnom dijelu rada istaknute su smjernice za stručnjake koji rade s braćom i sestrama u alternativnoj skrbi, te načini na koje mogu doprinijeti razvoju kvalitetnijih odnosa između braće i sestara u alternativnoj skrbi.

Abstract (english)

Sibling relationships are one of the most important relationships in life of every person. Functions of their bonds are numerous, some of them are socialization of the child, providing a role model during childhood and reducing the effect of trauma on the child. In the context of alternative care sibling relationships become even more important as sources of resistance in overcoming uncertainty and difficulties in which children find themselves. Attachment theory emphasizes the importance of contact development and quality of the close relationships, and family systems theory explains the impact of interpersonal family relationships and other individuals on sibling relationships. Since awarness of the importance of these relationships began to awaken only few years ago there is no much professional and scientific work dedicated to this topic. Therefore, this paper will highlight some specifics of the sibling relationships, especially in alternative care and list significant existing research in this context. In addition, there will be presented the positive outcomes of shared and negative outcomes of separate placement, and the challenges that siblings in alternative care must deal. In conclusion, guidelines for proffesionals working with siblings in alternative care are highlighted, as well as ways in which they can contribute to the development of better relationships between brothers and sisters in alternative care.
