POZABLJENI OTROCI

Bevk, Nina (author), Poštrak, Milko (mentor)

Diplomsko delo govori o izzivih, s katerimi se soočajo otroci in mladostniki, zaradi prestajanja zaporne kazni enega od staršev. V teoretičnem uvodu je opredeljeno, kako se otroci in mladostniki odzovejo na staršev odhod v zapor, kako to vpliva na njihove odnose z ostalimi družinskimi člani, vrstniki in šolo. Definiran je pojem travmatskega dogodka, ki ga prinese ločitev otroka od starša. Ta lahko privede do posttravmatske stresne motnje, saj obdobje, ko je otrok ločen od starša, postane obdobje velike ranljivosti otroka oz. mladostnika. Prav tako je opredeljen pojem stigme, saj se otrok srečuje tudi s starševo stigmo. V diplomskem delu je opredeljena vloga socialnega delavca, ki pomaga premagovati izzive, s katerimi se sooča otrok ali mladostnik. Raziskovalni del temelji na kvantitativni metodologiji anketnih vprašalnikov, empirični del pa odgovarja na vprašanja, kaj otrok doživlja, ko je soočen z izgubo starša zaradi prestajanja zapone kazni in ali bi otroci v tistem trenutku potrebovali psihosocialno pomoč socialne delavke. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo, da staršev odhod v zapor vpliva na veliko vidikov otrokovega življenja in da bi otroci oz. mladostniki potrebovali ustrezno pomoč socialne delavke oz. delavca.

Abstract

The graduation thesis addresses the challenges that children and adolescents are facing because of their parent’s incarceration. The theoretical introduction defines how children and adolescents respond to a parent's imprisonment, how that affects their relationships with the rest of the family, peers and school. It also defines the concept of a traumatic event coasted by the separation of child and parent which can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. The period when the child is separated from the parent becomes a period of great vulnerability of the child. The concept of stigma is defined, because the child also faces the parent's stigma. The thesis describes the role of a social worker who helps to overcome the challenges which a child or adolescent is facing. The research part is based on the quantitative methodology of the questionnaires. The empirical part answers the questions of what a child experiences when confronted with the loss of a parent as a result of serving a custodial sentence and whether the child would need psychosocial assistance from a social worker at the time. The findings of the study show that a parent's imprisonment affects many aspects of a child's life and that children or adolescents needed appropriate help from a social worker or worker.
