Nosečnost, materinstvo in uporaba drog

Poglajen, Katarina (author), Sande, Matej (mentor)

Magistrska naloga se osredotoča na ženske, ki so noseče ali matere in so ali so bile uporabnice prepovedanih drog. V prvem delu naloge sem teoretično raziskovala vlogo, pomen ženskosti, nosečnosti, materinstva in uporabe drog. Usmerila sem se v vprašanja, kakšno je mnenje okolice o ciljni skupini in kako te odzive doživljajo uporabnice. Zanimalo me je, kakšne oblike pomoči in pristopov so na voljo pri nas in kako je za tovrstno populacijo poskrbljeno v tujini. V ospredje ocenjevanja, kako uspešen je nek pristop zdravljenja, sem postavila mnenje uporabnice o tem, v kolikšni meri ta pristop zadovoljuje njene specifične potrebe in želje. Intervjuvane uporabnice drog so v času nosečnosti in še kasneje po porodu imele občutke strahu in krivde. Krive se počutijo zaradi uporabe drog, strah jih je posledic uporabe in odvzema otroka. Včasih imajo občutek, da jih okolica ne razume in jih obsoja. Uporabnice drog so po večini zadovoljne z oskrbo s strani različnih institucij. Izkazalo se je, da o tem sploh veliko ne razmišljajo in nimajo izoblikovanega mnenja. Ponavadi se prepustijo strokovnim delavcem in se ne sprašujejo o pravilnosti določenega ravnanja. Opisujejo predvsem neke slabe izkušnje s posameznimi strokovnimi delavci, kar zagotovo ne moremo posploševati. Velika večina ima najslabše izkušnje z oporo svoje družine in oporo očeta otrok. Brskanje po tuji literaturi je pokazalo, da obstaja veliko nekih napotkov o načinih dela s tovrstno populacijo. Pri nas je zagotovo potrebno še veliko dodatnega znanja o delu z uporabnicami drog, ki so noseče ali matere, saj med strokovnimi delavci še vedno obstoja premalo znanja, preveč predsodkov do uporabnic in premalo multidisciplinarne povezanosti med strokovnjaki.

• Title: Pregnancy, motherhood and drug use

Abstract

This thesis focuses on pregnant women and mothers who are or were using drugs. The first part of the thesis consists of a theoretical research of the significance of femininity, pregnancy, motherhood and the use of drugs. The main questions that I tried to answer are: How do the people around them percept the target group, and how the members of the target group experience these perceptions? Which support groups and approaches are available in Slovenia and abroad? The basis for the evaluation of each treatment was the opinion expressed by members of the target group and the extent to which the treatment met their specific needs and desires. Interviewees who used drugs during pregnancy and after birth expressed feelings of fear and guilt. They feel guilty because they used drugs; they are afraid that the use might have an effect on child’s health and that the children would be taken from them. They think that people around them do not have a full understanding of their behaviour and judge them. Drug users are mostly satisfied with care they receive from various institutions. It turns out they do not think about it and do not have a shaped opinion. They usually leave decisions to professionals and do not doubt their practices. They sometimes describe bad experience with individual professionals, but this cannot be generalized. The majority of them describe their families and fathers of children as the least supportive. The study of foreign literature has shown that there are many ways of working with this target group. In Slovenia, we still lack knowledge and experience with pregnant women and mothers who are or were using drugs, which is shown as an excessive bias towards the target group and inability for multidisciplinary integration.
