Abstract

Obitelj je dinamičan sustav u kojemu obilježja članova obitelji utječu na strukturu cijelog sustava, ali i sustav obitelji pridonosi kvaliteti života pojedinih članova obitelji. Istraživanja pokazuju kako se obitelji koje imaju dijete s ADHD-om susreću s dodatnom dinamikom i poteškoćama u životnom tijeku obitelji. Cilj ovog istraživačkog rada je dobiti uvid u značajne događaje u životnom tijeku obitelji s djecom s ADHD-om iz perspektive majki te dobiti uvid u faktore koji su doprinijeli tim značajnim događajima u razdoblju od predškolske dobi do srednjoškolskog obrazovanja. Sudionice ovog istraživanja su dvije majke djece s ADHD-om iz različitih područja stanovanja. Kao metoda prikupljanja podataka koristila se životna priča, odnosno narativni pristup. Istraživanje je provedeno u dva susreta na kojima su se provodile životne priče, razgovori su snimljeni te transkribirani. Pitanja su bila usmjerena na osobni doživljaj majki prema funkcioniranju njihove djece, na koji način su se upoznale s poremećajem ADHD-a od najranije dobi djeteta, kako je tekao tranzicijski proces njihove djece u odnosu na vrtiće i škole, kakvu su podršku imale u nošenju s emocionalnim i socijalnim problemima, kako su se prilagođavale na promjene, koje su im mogućnosti u zajednici bile dostupne i ostalo. Nakon analize podataka putem definiranja značajnih događaja i faktora koji doprinose tim značajnim događajima ovih obitelji, dobiveni su slični rezultati kao istraživanja provedena izvan Hrvatske. Roditelji djece s ADHD-om se susreću s većim poteškoćama nego obitelji bez djece s ADHD-om u svakodnevnom životu. Poteškoće koje utječu na kvalitetu života obitelji djece s ADHD-om su povišeni stres roditelja, teškoće na prilagodbu u obrazovanju, nedostatak socijalne podrške te nedostatak informacija od strane sustava. Temeljem dobivenih nalaza istraživanja proizlaze preporuke za unapređenje sustava potpore obitelji djece s ADHD-om.

Abstract (english)

Family is a dynamic system in which the characteristics of family members affect the structure of the whole system but also the family system contributes to the quality of life of individual family members. Studies show that families who have a child with ADHD encounter additional dynamics and difficulties in the family's life course. The aim of this research work is to gain insight into significant life-cycle events of families with children with ADHD from the perspective of mothers and factors that contributed to these significant events from pre-school to high school education. Participants of this study are two mothers of ADHD children from different areas of residence. As a method of data collection, a life story or a narrative approach was used. The research was conducted in two meetings on which life stories were conducted, conversations were recorded and transcribed. The questions were focused on the personal experience of mothers in their children's functioning, how they met with the ADHD disorder since the earliest age of the child, how the transition process of their children was compared to kindergartens and schools, what support they had in carrying emotional and social issues, how they adapted to change, what their community opportunities were available, etc. After analyzing data by defining significant events and factors that contribute to these significant events of these families, similar results were obtained as studies conducted outside Croatia. Parents of ADHD children are facing greater difficulties than families with no children with ADHD in their daily lives. Difficulties affecting the quality of life of ADHD children are heightened parents' stress, difficulties in adapting to education, lack of social support and lack of information from the system. Based on the findings of the survey, recommendations were made to improve the support system for children with ADHD.
