20.500.12556/RUL-168353 Starševstvo in darovane spolne celice: stališča in potrebe staršev magistrsko delo Parenthood and genetic material donation: Perspectives and needs of parents magistrsko delo Magistrsko delo obravnava tematiko starševstva s pomočjo darovanih spolnih celic, pri čemer se osredotoča na stališča in potrebe staršev, ki so se odločili za to obliko oploditve. Problematika je aktualna zaradi naraščajoče neplodnosti in družbene stigme, ki pogosto spremlja neplodne pare. Raziskava izhaja iz predpostavke, da se starši, ki uporabljajo darovane spolne celice, soočajo z edinstvenimi izzivi, tako na osebni kot tudi na družbeni ravni. V teoretičnih izhodiščih se delo opira na teorijo navezanosti ter koncept socialnega starševstva. Podrobno so analizirani pravni, etični in psihosocialni vidiki darovanja spolnih celic, vključno s pravico otrok do poznavanja svojega genetskega izvora ter vplivom na njihovo identiteto. Pravna ureditev v Sloveniji in tujini se razlikuje, kar vpliva na odločitve parov, ki se pogosto odločajo za zdravljenje v tujini zaradi krajših čakalnih dob in večje dostopnosti darovanih celic. Raziskava temelji na kvalitativni metodologiji, natančneje na polstrukturiranih intervjujih z neplodnimi pari, ki so se odločili za uporabo darovanih spolnih celic. Vzorec zajema starše različnih socialno-ekonomskih ozadij, s ciljem pridobiti vpogled v njihova stališča, motivacijo ter izkušnje v procesu sprejemanja odločitve, komunikacije z otrokom in soočanja z družbeno percepcijo. Rezultati kažejo, da se starši odločajo za darovanje spolnih celic zaradi želje po starševstvu, kljub temu pa jih spremljajo dvomi in strahovi, povezani s stigmo ter vprašanjem, kako in kdaj otroku razkriti njegov izvor. Velik del vprašanj se nanaša na pravico otroka do poznavanja genetskega izvora in morebitne posledice prikrivanja te informacije. Raziskava potrjuje, da odprta in zgodnja komunikacija z otrokom pripomore k boljšemu psihološkemu prilagajanju in krepitvi odnosa med starši in otrokom. Vendar se številni starši soočajo s pomanjkanjem podpore in smernic, kako ravnati v teh situacijah. Raziskava opozarja tudi na pomembnost vloge socialnih delavcev pri svetovanju neplodnim parom. Poudarjena je potreba po oblikovanju strukturirane psihosocialne podpore, ki bi staršem pomagala pri soočanju s kompleksnostjo darovanja spolnih celic. Strokovnjaki s področja socialnega dela lahko ključno prispevajo k destigmatizaciji teme ter zagotavljanju strokovnega vodstva staršem v vseh fazah postopka. Magistrsko delo prinaša predloge za izboljšanje podpore neplodnim parom, vključno z izboljšanjem dostopa do informacij in svetovanja ter spodbujanjem odprte komunikacije o darovanju spolnih celic. Raziskava prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju socialnega starševstva in izzivov, s katerimi se starši soočajo, ter spodbuja oblikovanje politik, ki bodo bolj prijazne do uporabnikov reproduktivnih tehnologij. Magistrsko delo tako ponuja vpogled v kompleksnost starševstva pri darovanju spolnih celic ter spodbuja nadaljnje raziskave in strokovno podporo na tem področju. This master’s thesis addresses the topic of parenthood in the context of using donated gametes, with a focus on the perspectives and needs of parents who have opted for this form of conception. The issue is particularly relevant due to the rising prevalence of infertility and the social stigma that often affects infertile couples. The research is based on the assumption that parents who use donated gametes face unique challenges, both on a personal and societal level. The theoretical framework draws on attachment theory and the concept of social parenthood. An in-depth analysis is provided of the legal, ethical, and psychosocial aspects of gamete donation, including the child’s right to know their genetic origins and the impact this has on their identity. The legal framework differs between Slovenia and other countries, which influences the decisions of couples, who often seek treatment abroad due to shorter waiting lists and greater availability of donated gametes. The research employs a qualitative methodology, specifically semi-structured interviews with infertile couples who have used donated gametes. The sample includes parents from various socio-economic backgrounds, aiming to gain insight into their perspectives, motivations, and experiences regarding decision-making, communication with the child, and societal perception. The results indicate that parents choose gamete donation due to their desire for parenthood, yet they also experience doubts and fears related to stigma and the question of how and when to disclose the child’s origins. A significant portion of the concerns centres on the child’s right to know their genetic origins and the potential consequences of withholding this information. The research confirms that open and early communication with the child contributes to better psychological adaptation and strengthens the parent-child relationship. However, many parents struggle with a lack of support and guidance on how to navigate these situations. The study also highlights the crucial role of social workers in counselling infertile couples. It underscores the need for structured psychosocial support to help parents cope with the complexities of gamete donation. Social work professionals can play a key role in destigmatising the topic and providing professional guidance to parents throughout all stages of the process. The final section of the thesis presents recommendations for improving support for infertile couples, including better access to information and counselling, as well as promoting open communication about gamete donation. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of social parenthood and the challenges parents face, while also encouraging the development of policies that are more inclusive of individuals using reproductive technologies. Thus, the master’s thesis offers insight into the complexities of parenthood in the context of gamete donation and promotes further research and professional support in this field. neplodnost darovane spolne celice socialno starševstvo izzivi staršev reproduktivna tehnologija socialno delo in postopki zunajtelesne oploditve etične dileme infertility donated gametes social parenthood parental challenges reproductive technology social work and in vitro fertilisation procedures ethical dilemmas true false false [S.
