Abstract

Poremećaji hranjenja obuhvaćaju širok raspon međusobno sličnih poremećaja čija je glavna
karakteristika zabrinutost oko veličine vlastitog tijela i nezadovoljstvo njime, prekomjerna
usredotočenost na kontrolu unosa hrane i zaokupiranost mislima oko tjelesne težine. U
poremećaje hranjenja spadaju: anoreksija nervoza, bulimija nervoza, poremećaj s prejedanjem,
drugi specificirani poremećaji hranjenja, ruminacija i pika. Prevencija poremećaja hranjenja za
populaciju adolescenata u općoj populaciji kreće se od 6 do 8%, a prvi pojavni oblici nastaju već
u djetinjstvu. Alternativna skrb podrazumijeva bilo koji oblik skrbi u kojoj se dijete ne nalazi u
svojoj biološkoj obitelji nego je izdvojeno i zbrinuto u smještaj koji mu pruža potrebnu i
adekvatnu skrb i zaštitu. Cilj ovog istraživanja jest steći uvid u rasprostranjenost i pojavu
poremećaja hranjenja kod djece i mladih u alternativnoj skrbi iz perspektive stručnog osoblja.
Istraživanje je provedeno putem online upitnika na populaciji stručnjaka, zaposlenika institucija
alternativne skrbi u Hrvatskoj. Prikupljeni podaci obrađeni su deskriptivnom analizom, a svrha
istraživanja bila je identifikacija poremećaja hranjenja među djecom i mladima u alternativnoj
skrbi iz perspektive stručnjaka te razumijevanje ove teme kako bi se potaknula daljnja
istraživanja. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako značajan broj stručnjaka primjećuje ponašanja vezana
uz poremećaje hranjenja kod djece i mladih u alternativnoj skrbi, čime se ističe potreba za
specijaliziranim pristupima i podrškom kako bi se učinkovito prepoznali i tretirali ovi poremećaji
unutar konteksta alternativne skrbi.

Abstract (english)

Eating disorders include a wide range of similar disorders, the main characteristics of which are
concern about and dissatisfaction with one's own body size, excessive focus on controlling food
intake, and preoccupation with thoughts about body weight. Eating disorders include: anorexia
nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, other specified eating disorders, rumination and
binge eating. Prevention of eating disorders for the adolescent population in the general
population ranges from 6 to 8%, and the first manifestations occur already in childhood.
Alternative care means any form of care in which the child is not in his biological family, but is
separated and taken care of in accommodation that provides him with the necessary and adequate
care and protection. The aim of this research is to gain insight into the prevalence and occurrence
of eating disorders in children and young people in alternative care from the perspective of
professional staff. The research was conducted through an online questionnaire on the population
of experts, employees of alternative care institutions in Croatia. The collected data were
processed through descriptive analysis, and the purpose of the research was to identify eating
disorders among children and youth in alternative care from the perspective of experts and to
understand this topic in order to stimulate further research. The research showed that a significant
number of experts notice behaviors related to eating disorders in children and young people in
alternative care, which highlights the need for specialized approaches and support in order to
effectively recognize and treat these disorders within the context of alternative care.
