Abstract

Obitelj je primarna zajednica koja ima ključnu ulogu u dječjem razvoju. U posljednje vrijeme sve više djece suočava se s iskustvom razvoda braka roditelja. Uslijed razvoda braka dolazi ne samo do prekida partnerskog odnosa između roditelja, već i do promjena u dinamici odnosa između roditelja i djece, a nerijetko i do promjena u dinamici odnosa između braće i sestara.
Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazuju da odnos između braće i sestara može biti značajan čimbenik prilagodbe djece na razvod te da podržavajući odnosi između braće i sestara mogu pomoći djeci da se lakše nose sa stresom tijekom i nakon razvoda braka.
S obzirom da u Hrvatskoj nedostaju istraživanja na navedenu temu, cilj ovoga rada je sagledati perspektivu stručnjaka o dinamici odnosa te važnosti očuvanja emocionalnih veza između braće i sestara u situacijama razvoda braka.
Istraživanje je provedeno putem polustrukturiranog intervjua sa sedam sudionica. Sve sudionice su zaposlene u centru za socijalnu skrb te imaju pet i više godina iskustva u radu na stručnim poslovima vezanim uz razvod braka. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da sudionice percipiraju različit utjecaj razvoda braka roditelja na dinamiku odnosa braće i sestara, te da odnos braće i sestara vide većinom kao zaštitni, ali u nekim situacijama i kao mogući rizični čimbenik prilagodbe na razvod braka. U radu su istaknuta zapažanja sudionica istraživanja o tome u kojoj mjeri i na koji način roditelji vode računa o očuvanju emocionalnih veza između braće i sestara kod planiranja i provođenja roditeljske skrbi nakon razvoda. Opisano je i kako stručnjaci doživljaju svoju profesionalnu ulogu u području zaštite najboljeg interesa djece vezano uz očuvanje emocionalnih veza između braće i sestara u situacijama brakorazvoda. Zaključno istaknute su prepreke u radu i potrebe za unapređenjem prakse u ovom području.

Abstract (english)

The family is the primary community that plays a key role in child development. Lately, more and more children are facing the experience of parental divorce. Divorce leads not only to the termination of the partnership between parents, but also to changes in the dynamics of the relationship between parents and children, and often to changes in the dynamics of the relationship between siblings.
Most research to date show that sibling relationships can be a significant factor in children's adjustment to divorce, and that supporting sibling relationships can help children cope more easily with stress during and after divorce.
Given that there is a lack of research on this topic in Croatia, the aim of this paper is to look at the perspective of experts on the dynamics of relationships and the importance of preserving emotional bonds between siblings in divorce situations.
The research was conducted through a semi-structured interview with seven participants. All participants are employed in a social welfare center and have five or more years of experience in professional work related to divorce. The results of the research show that the participants perceive the different impact of parental divorce on the dynamics of the sibling relationship, and that they see the sibling relationship mostly as protective, but in some situations as a possible risk factor for divorce. The paper highlights the observations of the research participants on the extent to which and in what way parents take care of preserving emotional bonds between siblings when planning and implementing parental care after divorce. It is also described how experts perceive their professional role in the field of protection of the best interests of children related to the preservation of emotional ties between siblings in divorce situations. In conclusion, obstacles to work and the need to improve practice in this area were highlighted.
