Vzpostavljanje varnega odnosa z otrokom skozi prizmo razvojne kompleksne travme in na travmo usmerjenega pristopa iz perspektive rejnic : magistrsko delo

Strnad, Špela (avtor), Mešl, Nina (mentor)

Otroke, ki so v svojem domačem okolju izpostavljeni zanemarjanju, zlorabi in drugim oblikam ogroženosti, lahko država zaščiti z odvzemom iz matične družine in namestitvijo v rejništvo. Otroci v rejništvu imajo pogosto izkušnjo razvojne kompleksne travme, ki pomembno vpliva na njihovo čustveno doživljanje, vedenje in sposobnost vzpostavljanja odnosov ter zaznamuje njihov nadaljnji razvoj. Zaradi teh izkušenj je delo z otroki v rejništvu specifično in zahtevno, saj potrebujejo varne, senzitivne in dosledne odzive odraslih. Ti lahko pomembno prispevajo k njihovemu okrevanju, medtem ko neustrezni odzivi lahko vodijo v poglabljanje stiske ali dodatno travmatizacijo. Ključno vlogo pri tem ima poglobljeno znanje o razvojni kompleksni travmi in teoriji navezanosti ter na razumevanju travme utemeljen pristop, ki predstavljajo temelj za razumevanje otrokovega vedenja in ustrezno odzivanje. V teoretičnem delu opredelim ključne koncepte razvojne kompleksne travme, teorije navezanosti, na kratko predstavim rejništvo ter se osredotočim na razumevanju travme utemeljen pristop v kontekstu rejništva, vzpostavljanje varnega odnosa z otrokom v rejništvu ter zagotavljanje čustveno varnih odzivov. V empiričnem delu sem izvedla kvalitativno raziskavo, v kateri sem s pomočjo polstrukturiranih intervjujev raziskovala izkušnje rejnic ter poskušala ugotoviti, kako se spopadajo z izzivi pri sodelovanju z otrokom, ki v odnos prinaša številne zahtevne travmatične izkušnje, s katerimi znanji so opremljene, ter na kakšen način so v celotnem procesu podprte oz. kakšno podporo bi še potrebovale. Osredotočila sem se na načine vzpostavljanja odnosa z otrokom, razumevanje otrokovega vedenja ter njihove vire znanja in podpore. Magistrsko delo prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju vloge rejnic pri delu z otroki z izkušnjo travme ter poudarja pomen strokovnega znanja in sistemske podpore pri zagotavljanju varnega in stabilnega odnosa.

• Naslov: Establishing a secure relationship with a child through the lens of considering developmental complex trauma and the trauma informed approach from the perspective of foster carers

Izvleček

Children who are exposed to neglect, abuse, and other forms of adversity within their family environment may be protected by the state through removal from their biological family and placement into foster care. Children in foster care often have experiences of developmental complex trauma, which significantly affect their emotional functioning, behaviour, and capacity to form relationships, and have long-term implications for their development. Due to these experiences, working with children in foster care is highly specific and demanding, as they require safe and secure, sensitive, and consistent responses from adults. Such responses can significantly contribute to their recovery, whereas inappropriate responses may exacerbate their distress or lead to further traumatization. A key role in this process is played by in-depth knowledge of developmental complex trauma and attachment theory, as well as trauma-informed approach, which together form the foundation for understanding children’s behaviour and responding appropriately to their needs. In the theoretical part, the thesis defines key concepts of developmental complex trauma and attachment theory, briefly presents foster care, and focuses on the trauma-informed approach within the context of foster care, the establishment of a secure relationship with the child, and the provision of emotionally safe responses. In the empirical part, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with foster carers. The study explored their experiences and aimed to understand how they cope with the challenges of working with children who bring complex traumatic experiences into the relationship, what knowledge they possess, and how they are supported within this process, as well as what additional support they may need. Particular attention was given to the ways in which foster carers establish relationships with children, understand children’s behaviour, and draw on sources of knowledge and support. The thesis contributes to a better understanding of the role of foster carers in working with children who have experienced trauma and highlights the importance of professional knowledge and systemic support in ensuring a safe and stable relationship.
