| Sažetak | U današnjem svijetu sve je češći slučaj razvoda brakova u kojemu partneri imaju zajedničku djecu. Tijekom procesa razvoda roditelji su često zaokupljeni s vlastitim emocijama i problemima te u nekim slučajevima zanemaruju djecu. Posljedice razvoda mogu narušiti mentalno zdravlje djece. Djeca često imaju pojačane osjećaje tuge, straha i nesigurnosti, a u nekim slučajevima i samookrivljavanje za razvod roditelja. Dječaci uglavnom imaju eksternalizirane probleme u ponašanju te su skloni iskazivanju agresije, krađama, laganju, neposlušnošću te iskazivanju bijesa. Djevojčice su više sklone internaliziranim problemima. Često dolazi do pojave depresije i anksioznosti te do niske razine samopoštovanja. Djeca su često zaokupirana mislima oko razvoda te ostvaruju slab uspjeh u školi te postoji i rizik od odustajanja od škole. Dva važna čimbenika rizika su učestali sukobi između roditelja te neadekvatno roditeljstvo. Podrška obitelji, ekonomska stabilnost, male promjene, podrška prijatelja te uključenost roditelja djeluju kao zaštitni čimbenici prema djeci koja prolaze kroz ovaj težak period. Važnu ulogu imaju socijalni radnici koji bi trebali prepoznati sve probleme kroz koje djeca prolaze te im biti pomoć i podrška u tijeku procesa razvoda roditelja. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | In today's world, divorces in which partners have children together are becoming increasingly common. During the divorce process, parents are often preoccupied with their own emotions and problems, and in some cases, they neglect their children. The consequences of divorce can negatively impact children's mental health. Children often experience heightened feelings of sadness, fear, and insecurity, and in some cases, they may even blame themselves for their parents' divorce. Boys generally exhibit externalized behavioral problems and are prone to displaying aggression, stealing, lying, disobedience, and expressions of anger. Girls, on the other hand, are more prone to internalized problems. This often leads to the onset of depression and anxiety, as well as low self-esteem. Children are often preoccupied with thoughts about the divorce, which can result in poor academic achievement, and there is a risk of dropping out of school. Two important risk factors are frequent conflicts between parents and inadequate parenting. Family support, economic stability, minimal changes, support from friends, and parental involvement act as protective factors for children during this difficult period. Social workers play an important role in recognizing the problems that children are going through and providing help and support during the divorce process. |
