Značilnosti delovanja Centrov za družine in njihova vizija za prihodnost : magistrsko delo

Štrumbelj, Veronika (author), Rapuš-Pavel, Jana (mentor)

Magistrsko delo se ukvarja z značilnostmi delovanja centrov za družine v Sloveniji in njihovo vizijo za prihodnost. Raziskave o centrih za družine v tujini govorijo o tem, da imajo centri za družine močno podporno funkcijo. Centri se razlikujejo od države do države in tudi glede na njihove potrebe ter sistem države, vendar imajo veliko skupnih točk. V magistrskem delu sem želela pridobiti več podatkov o slovenskih centrih in o dogajanju v njih, ker je na tem področju zelo malo raziskav. V teoretičnem delu sem opredelila družino in spremembe v družinskem življenju v postmodernem času. Dotaknila sem se družinske politike v Sloveniji. Potem sem se posvetila še centrom za družine in njihovim značilnostim. Preučila sem tudinekaj praks centrov iz tujine. V teoretičnem delu sem zapisala še nekaj podatkov o centrih za družine v Sloveniji. Namen moje kvalitativne empirične raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako centri v Sloveniji delujejo in kakšna je njihova vizija za naprej. Na totemo sem želela pogledatis treh različnih perspektiv, in sicer s strani politike, ki sofinancira izbrane programe (MDDSZ), s strani uporabnikov in tudi s strani izvajalcev programov centrov za družine. Izbrala sem štiri cente, ki so bili sofinancirani s strani MDDSZ iz razpisa, ki je dodeljeval finance za obdobje 2017–2020. Vzorec je bil sestavljen iz 4 izvajalcev dejavnosti, 20 uporabnikov centrov (iz vsakega centra 5); bila je še 1 oseba iz politične sfere, oseba, ki je zaposlena na MDDSZ in skrbi za del delovanja centrov za družine. Uporabila sem kvalitativni raziskovalni pristop; za metodo sem uporabila delno strukturirane intervjuje; podatke sem kasneje obdelala s kvalitativno analizo. Rezultati so pokazali, da so videnja izvajalcev centrov, uporabnikov in predstavnika politike v veliko pogledih podobni, kdaj pa tudi drugačni. Vsi se strinjajo, da so centri za družine prepoznani kot podpora in pomoč družini oziroma družinskim članom. Ugotovitve raziskave nam pokažejo večjo razvidnost, kako centri za družine delujejo; raziskava nam pokaže videnje o delovanju iz različnih perspektiv; prav tako nam raziskava pokaže želeno vizijo na naprej.

• Title: Activity of Family Centres in Slovenia and their Future Vision

Abstract

This master's thesis examines the characteristics and vision of family centers in Slovenia. Research on family centers in other countries indicates that they play a crucial supportive role. While these centers vary in terms of their specific needs and the overall national system, they share many commonalities. However, there is a lack of research on Slovenian family centers and their activities, which motivated the present study. The theoretical part of the thesis defines the concept of family and explores the changes in family life in the postmodern era. It also touches upon family policy in Slovenia. Furthermore, the characteristics of family centers and relevant practices from abroad are discussed. Some data on family centers in Slovenia are also provided in the theoretical section. This qualitative empirical research aimed to investigate how family centers operate in Slovenia and what their future vision entails. The study approached this topic from three perspectives: the political standpoint represented by the co-funding institution of selected programs (Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities), the users of family centers, and the program providers themselves. Four centers that received funding from the Ministry for the period 2017–2020 were selected for the study. The sample consisted of four program providers, 20 center users (five from each center), and one individual from the political sphere, specifically employed at the Ministry mentioned earlier, responsible for the functioning of family centers. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing semi- structured interviews as the primary data collection method, followed by qualitative analysis. The results revealed that the perspectives of program providers, center users, and the political representative were largely aligned although some differences were also observed. All parties agreed that family centers are recognized as valuable support and assistance resource for families and their members. The research findings provide a clearer understanding of how family centers operate and offer insights from multiple perspectives, as well as indicating the desired vision for the future.
