Abstract

Ekonomski uvjeti u značajnoj mjeri određuju cjelokupno funkcioniranje obitelji. Dosadašnja istraživanja češće su bila usmjerena na produbljivanje saznanja o utjecaju siromaštva na život djece i njihovih obitelji, dok je značajno rjeđe u fokusu istraživanja bio utjecaj ekonomskog bogatstva na odgoj djece. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati kvalitativnog istraživanja čiji cilj je bio dobiti uvid u iskustva i doživljaje stručnjaka o specifičnostima odrastanja djece u kulturi bogatstva te sagledati neke posebnosti profesionalnog rada s takvim obiteljima. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua s petero stručnjaka (četvero socijalnih radnika iz sustava socijalne skrbi i jedan stručni djelatnik iz osnovne škole). Analiza dobivenih podataka provedena je putem tematske analize. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da stručnjaci ističu određene specifičnosti roditeljstva kod imućnih obitelji te da prepoznaju specifične zaštitne i rizične čimbenike kojima su češće izložena djeca koja odrastaju u kulturi bogatstva. Također, u radu se opisuju i izazovi s kojima se susreću stručnjaci u profesionalnom radu s roditeljima i djecom iz imućnih obitelji. Zaključno, navedene su sugestije stručnjaka za unaprjeđenje sustava podrške i zaštite za djecu i mlade koji odrastaju u kulturi bogatstva, izloženi specifičnim rizicima koji nerijetko ostaju neprepoznati od strane okoline.

Abstract (english)

Economic conditions significantly determine the overall functioning of the family. Previous research was more often focused on deepening knowledge about the impact of poverty on the lives of children and their families, while the focus of the research was significantly less often on the impact of affluence on children's upbringing. This paper presents the results of qualitative research, the goal of which was to gain insight into the experiences of experts about the specifics of children growing up in a culture of affluence and to look at some peculiarities of professional work with such families. The research was conducted using the method of semi-structured interviews with five experts (four social workers from social care system and one professional employee from primary school). The analysis of the obtained data was carried out through thematic analysis. The research results show that experts emphasize certain specificities of parenting in affluent families and that they recognize specific protective and risk factors to which children who grow up in a culture of affluence are more often exposed. Also, the paper describes the challenges faced by professionals in their professional work with parents and children from affluent families. In conclusion, the suggestions of experts are listed for improving the system of support and protection of children and youth who grow up in a culture of affluence, and who are exposed to specific risks that often remain unrecognized by society.
