20.500.12556/RUL-187833 Čustvene in vedenjske težave otrok nameščenih v rejniško družino z vidika rejnic Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties of Children Placed in Foster Care from the Perspective of Foster Mothers Namen raziskave je bil raziskati subjektivno doživljanje rejnic ob čustvenih in vedenjskih težavah otrok, ki so bili nameščeni v njihovo družino. S poglobljenimi polstrukturiranimi intervjuji smo pridobili prvoosebne opise doživljanja osmih rejnic. Zbrane podatke smo analizirali z interpretativno fenomenološko analizo in oblikovali pet glavnih tem, ki zajemajo bistvene vidike njihovega doživljanja. Ugotovitve so pokazale, da predstavlja soočanje z otrokovimi čustvenimi in vedenjskimi težavami večplastno izkušnjo, ki presega vsakodnevno skrb za otroka in posega na čustveno ter telesno raven rejnic. Ob otrokovi stiski so rejnice doživljale dvome, nemoč in intenzivno čustveno vpletenost. Otrokovo bolečino so rejnice pogosto občutile kot svojo. Za otrokovimi čustvenimi in vedenjskimi odzivi so prepoznavale življenjsko zgodbo, pretekle izkušnje in stisko ter skušale razumeti otrokovo vedenje. Pomemben del doživljanja rejnic je predstavljala tudi otrokova pripadnost rejniški in biološki družini, ki je bila zlasti ob zahtevnih izkušnjah s stiki povezana z notranjimi dilemami glede spoštovanja otrokove povezanosti z biološko družino in željo po zaščiti otroka. Pri soočanju z zahtevnostjo rejniške vloge so pomembno mesto zavzemali podpora bližnjih in strokovnih delavcev, lastni viri moči ter občutek smisla. Rejništvo so povezovale rejnice tudi z osebnim učenjem in rastjo. Ugotovitve se v pomembnih vidikih povezujejo z obstoječimi spoznanji o čustveni obremenjenosti rejnikov, posledicah otrokove travme, pomenu razumevanja njegove življenjske zgodbe in vlogi podpore pri izvajanju rejništva. Raziskava omogoča poglobljen vpogled v prvoosebno doživljanje rejnic in opozarja na pomen razumevanja njihovih čustvenih obremenitev ter zagotavljanja ustrezne strokovne podpore. S tem prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju rejniške vloge in oblikovanju podpore, ki upošteva tako potrebe otrok v rejništvu kot doživljanje oseb, ki zanje vsakodnevno skrbijo. The aim of this study was to explore the subjective lived experiences of foster mothers in relation to the emotional and behavioural difficulties of children placed in their care. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, we obtained first-person accounts from eight foster mothers. The collected data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis, resulting in five main themes that capture essential aspects of their lived experiences. The findings showed that dealing with children’s emotional and behavioural difficulties is a multifaceted experience that extends beyond everyday caregiving and is also reflected in foster mothers’ emotional and bodily experiences. When faced with a child’s distress, they experienced doubt, helplessness, and intense emotional involvement, often experiencing the child’s pain as their own. Behind the child’s emotional and behavioural responses, they recognised the child’s life story, past experiences, and distress, and sought to understand what the child was communicating through their behaviour. An important aspect of their experience was also the child’s sense of belonging to both the foster and biological family. Particularly when contact with the biological family was challenging, foster mothers experienced internal dilemmas between respecting the child’s connection to their biological family and wanting to protect the child. In coping with the demands of the foster care role, support from significant others and professionals, personal sources of strength, and a sense of meaning played an important role. Foster mothers also associated foster care with personal learning and growth. The findings are broadly consistent with existing research on the emotional burden experienced by foster carers, the consequences of childhood trauma, the importance of understanding the child’s life story, and the role of support in foster care. The study provides an in-depth insight into foster mothers’ first-person experiences and highlights the importance of recognising their emotional burden and providing appropriate professional support. In doing so, it may contribute to a better understanding of the foster care role and to the development of support that takes into account both the needs of children in foster care and the experiences of those who care for them on a daily basis. rejništvo rejnice čustvene in vedenjske težave fenomenološka metoda čustveno doživljanje foster care foster mothers emotional and behavioural difficulties phenomenological method emotional experience true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Magistrsko delo/naloga 2026-09-15 09:00:23 2026-09-15 09:00:29 2026-09-17 03:39:35 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 36765 9320.pdf 9320.pdf 1 02353F4522572AB4B57CBF2C9AF92AD1 acecb03cb7757e5540c426454ff19916c378c063ba73a56a5021c39f1f815e62 1d2d07eb-b0d3-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=247616 Teološka fakulteta 0 0 0
