Istospolno partnerstvo in materinstvo : diplomsko delo

Grešovnik, Mia (author), Prelec, Anita (mentor), Mivšek, Ana Polona (reviewer)

Uvod: Istospolna usmerjenost ali homoseksualnost je spolna nagnjenost do osebe ali oseb istega spola. Da posameznik razkrije svojo spolno usmerjenost, ponavadi preide skozi štiri faze. Večina homoseksualcev svojo usmerjenost skriva do vstopa v partnersko zvezo. Istospolno partnersko zvezo določa zakon o partnerski zvezi, kjer imata istospolna partnerja enake pravne pravice, kot jih ima zakonska zveza. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je raziskati in predstaviti istospolne družine, kakšne možnosti imajo istospolni partnerji pri ustvarjanju družine in kakšne občutke doživljajo, ko si ustvarijo družine. Zanima nas, kakšno vlogo imajo babice, kako babice sprejemajo istospolno usmerjene ženske pri porodu in kako jih obravnavajo ter tudi izkušnje in počutje žensk v bolnišničnem okolju. Metode dela: Za izdelavo diplomskega dela smo uporabili pregled literature. Uporabljena je bila strokovna in znanstvena literatura v časovnem obdobju med letoma 2009 in 2022, v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku. Za iskanje literature smo uporabili različne podatkovne baze: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Springer Link, Wiley Online. Library, COBISS in Google Učenjak. Rezultati: V dokončen pregled smo vključili 12 virov, ki smo jih razvrstili tudi v hierarhijo dokazov. Istospolno usmerjene ženske, ki si želijo otrok, imajo v večini težko pot do materinstva. Spopadajo se z družbenimi in pravnimi ovirami. V Sloveniji nimajo pravice do pomoči pri umetni oploditvi. Večina lezbičnih, gejevskih, biseksualnih in transspolnih (LGBT) parov po svetu navaja pozitivne izkušnje v odnosih z babico med nosečnostjo, v času poroda in v poporodnem obdobju. Kljub temu pa je ozaveščenost babic o teh skupnostih slaba. Babica in vsi ostali zdravstveni delavci so primorani svoje predsodke v primeru, da jih imajo, potisniti na stran ali skrb lezbične matere prepustiti svojim zdravstvenim kolegom. Razprava in zaključek: Vedno več istospolno usmerjenih parov si želi ustvariti družino, vendar doživljajo stresno obdobje v času načrtovanja, zaradi predsodkov družbe in ovir. Potrebne bi bile dodatne raziskave na področju homoseksualnosti s poudarkom na njihovih družinah in odnosih v zdravstvu. Prav tako bi bila potrebna dodatna izobraževanja babic in ostalih zdravstvenih delavcev za zmanjšanje stigmatizacije in izboljšanje obporodne obravnave.

• Title: Same-sex partnership and maternity : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Same-sex orientation or homosexuality is sexual orientation toward a person or persons of the same sex. When people disclose their sexual orientation, they usually go through four stages. Most homosexuals hide their orientation until they enter into a relationship with a partner. Same-sex partnership is defined by the Partnership Act, where same-sex partners have the same legal rights as a heterosexual marriage. Purpose: The purpose of the diploma thesis is to explore homosexual families and to present what opportunities homosexual partners have in starting a family and what emotions they experience in starting a family. We are interested in the role of midwives, how they accept homosexually oriented women in childbirth and how they treat them. We are also interested in women's experiences and well-being in the hospital setting. Methods: We used a literature review for the thesis. Professional and scientific literature from 2009 to 2022 in Slovenian and English was used. For the literature search we used different databases such as: CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Springer Link, Wiley Online. Library, COBISS in Google Scholar. Results: For the final review, we included 12 sources, which we classified into a hierarchy of evidence. Homosexual women who desire children generally have a difficult path to motherhood. They face social and legal restrictions. In Slovenia, they do not have the right to assistance with artificial insemination. Most lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) couples around the world report positive experiences working with a midwife during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Yet their awareness of the community is low. Midwives and other health care workers need to shed their prejudices, if they have any, or leave lesbian mothers to their colleagues. Discussion and Conclusion: More and more homosexual couples want to start a family, but experience a stressful time during the planning process because of societal prejudices and legal restrictions. More research is needed in the area of homosexuality, with a focus on their families and healthcare relationship. In addition, midwives and other health care workers would need additional training to reduce stigma and improve care at birth.
