Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja je dobiti uvid u otpornost mladih nakon života u alternativnoj skrbi. Istraživanje je provedeno uživo u Zagrebu metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua s osmero mladih iz alternativne skrbi, a u obradi podataka korištena je tematska analiza. Dobiveni rezultati uglavnom su u skladu s dosadašnjim istraživanjima iz Hrvatske i svijeta. Slijedom toga ovo istraživanje ukazuje da su kod mladih iz alternativne skrbi prisutne brojne unutarnje snage i vanjski resursi koji im mogu olakšati prelazak u odraslu dob. Mladi iz alternativne skrbi postižu životne uspjehe slične mladima koji nemaju iskustvo života u skrbi. Način na koji su mladi izašli iz skrbi ukazuje na iznenadnost i nespremnost na samostalan život. Samostalan život nakon izlaska iz skrbi može biti vrlo izazovan i za mnoge mlade iz skrbi znači gubitak osjećaja sigurnosti, dok je podrška koju u tom periodu primaju uglavnom iz neformalnih izvora. Mladi su tijekom života u skrbi usvojili mnoge vještine te sam život u skrbi gledaju kao na resurs. Pri suočavanju s izazovima vidljiv je značaj osobnih karakteristika kao što su upornost, odgovornost i snalažljivost. U radu su navedeni i drugi ne manje bitni čimbenici otpornosti na temelju kojih je moguće razvijati programe osnaživanja mladih.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this research is to gain insight into the resilience of young people after living in alternative care. The research was conducted live in Zagreb using a semi-structured interview method on a sample of eight young people from alternative care. Thematic analysis was used. The results are mostly in line with previous research from Croatia and the world. Consequently, this research indicates that young people from alternative care have numerous internal strengths and external resources that can facilitate their transition to adulthood. Young people from alternative care achieve life successes similar to young people who have no experience of living in care. The way the young people came out of care indicates suddenness and unpreparedness for an independent life. Living independently after leaving care can be very challenging and for many young people from care it means losing a sense of security, while the support they receive in that period is mainly from informal sources. During their life in care, young people have acquired many skills and see their life in care as a resource. When facing challenges, the importance of personal characteristics such as persistence, responsibility, and resourcefulness is evident. This paper also mentions other equally important factors of resilience from which it is possible to develop youth empowerment programs.
