Kako je grupa jedan živi i dinamički organ, odnosi s ostalim članovima grupe se s vremenom mijenjaju; ljudi se zbližavaju, stvaraju se bliski emocionalni odnosi ili s druge strane distancirani, profesionalni odnosi. Sve te promjene koje se dešavaju unutar grupe, stručnjaci nazivaju grupnim procesima. Jedan od elemenata grupnog procesa je grupna kohezija. Ona se javlja u kasnijoj fazi razvoja grupe, fazi pokazivanja ranjivosti članova i stvaranja povjerenja. S obzirom na svoju multidimenzionalnost, stručnjaci predlažu različite definicije. Jedna od novijih definicija kohezije glasi kako ona predstavlja emocionalnu povezanost među članovima i usmjerenost prema dogovorenim zajedničkim ciljevima. Ono što grupna kohezija pruža ljudima je prostor za razvoj socioemocionalnih vještina koje pomažu u zadovoljavanju socijalizacijskih potreba, siguran prostor za vlastiti rast i razvoj. No, isto tako za izgradnju kohezije potrebne su socioemocionalne vještine. Grupna kohezija se istraživala u raznim kontekstima od sportskih timova, terapijskih grupa do vojske.. no, nema dostupne literature o njenom istraživanju u odgojnim grupama. S obzirom na to da su navedeni benefiti grupne kohezije važni za razvoj svakog čovjeka, a posebice za mlade s problemima u ponašanju, potrebno je istražiti kakva kohezija prevladava kod te skupine mladih. Svrha istraživanja je steći uvid u doživljaj grupne kohezije kod mladih u izvanobiteljskoj skrbi. U skladu s navedenom svrhom istraživanja, odabrana je kvalitativna metodologija koja pruža dublje razumijevanje pojedinačnih ljudskih iskustva i situacija. Istraživanje se provodilo pomoću metode fokus grupe, a sudionici su bili mladi s problemima u ponašanju u dobi od 14 do 18 godina. Ti mladi su zbog navedenih problema članovi tretmanskih grupa u Centru za pružanje usluga u zajednici-Dugave. Odlučeno je u istraživanje uključiti 3 grupe pri čemu su jednu fokus grupu činili svi članovi pojedine grupe. Kako bi rezultati bili što bogatiji, ciljano su odabrane različite tretmanske grupe pa je tako sudjelovala grupa mladića u stambenoj zajednici, grupa mladića na odjelu smještaja i grupa djevojaka na odjelu smještaja. Kao metoda analize je primijenjena tematska analiza okvira, a unaprijed su definirane 3 teme koje su ujedno i sastavnice kohezije zadaci, emocionalna povezanost i socijalna identifikacija. Rezultati su ukazali na to da su grupe operativno povezane. Funkcioniraju na razini koja se od njih kao grupe u suživotu očekuje. Njihovu povezanost obilježava nepovjerenje na grupnoj razini, distanciranost i suzdržanost od dijeljenja privatnih informacija. No, unatoč navedenome svatko pronađe jednu blisku osobu. Ono što ih povezuje na grupnoj razini su razgovori o svakodnevnim životnim situacijama, interesima, zajednički humor te manifestiraje neprihvatljivog ponašanja što je i razlog smještaja u odgojne grupe.
Abstract (english) One of the main human needs is the pursuit for other human contact which we usually realize through belonging to different groups. As the group is a living and dynamic organ, relationships with other members of the group change over time; people bond, and form close emotional relationships, or on the other hand they can develop distant, profesional relationships. All these changes that occur within a group, experts call group processes. One of the elements of group processes is the group cohesion. It occurs at a later stage of group development, the stage of showing vulnerability of members and creating trust. Given it’s multidimensionality, experts propose different definitions. One of the more recent definitions of cohesion is that it represents emotional connection between members and a focus on agreed common goals. Group cohesion provides people with a space for the development of socioemotional skills that help meet socialization needs, a safe space for their personal growth and development. But to build cohesion, socioemotional skills are also required. Group cohesion has been explored in a variety of contexts from sports teams, therapeutic groups to military groups buut there is no literature available on its research in residential groups. Considered these benefits of group cohesion are important for the development of every person, especially for young people with behaviour problems, it is nessesary to explore what kind of cohesion prevails in this group of young people. The purpose of the research is to gain insight into the experience of group cohesion among young people in residential care. In accordance with a stated purpose of the research, a qualitative methodology is selected. It provides deeper understanding of individual human experiences and situations. The study used the focus group method and participants were adolescents with behaviour problems between the age of 14 and 18. Due to these problems, these adolescents are members of residential group in the Community Service Center- Dugave. It was decided to include 3 groups in the research, with one focus group consisting of all members of each group. In order to make results as rich as possible, different residential groups were selected; A group of male adolescents in the residential community, a group of male adolescents in accomodation department and a group of female adolescents in accomodation department participated. Thematic analysis of the framework was applied as a method of amalysis, 3 topics were defined in advance and they are also components of cohesion; tasks, emotional connection and social identification. The results indicated that groups were operationally connected. They function at the level that is expected of them as members of groups who are living together. Their emotional connection is marked by distrust at the group level, distance and restraint from sharing private information. Despite that, everyone can find one person which they find close and trustworthy. What connects them on group level are conversations about everyday life situations, interests, sharing common humor, and manifesting unacceptable behaviour which is the reason for their participation in residential groups.
