Eksternalizovani i internalizovani problemi kao prediktori nestabilnosti smeštaja dece bez roditeljskog staranja
Originalni naučni rad
Apstrakt
Poslednjih godina se sistem socijalne zaštite suočava sa brojnim izazovima u zaštiti dece bez roditeljskog staranja, među kojima se aktuelno ističe nestabilnost smeštaja. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrđivanje povezanosti eksternalizovanih i internalizovanih problema deteta sa jedne strane i učestalosti promene smeštaja sa druge. Uzorak su činila sva deca koja su tokom prethodnih 12 godina primljena na smeštaj u Dom za decu i omladinu „Jefimija“ u Kruševcu (N = 62). Podaci o detetu, primarnoj porodici i istoriji smeštaja prikupljeni su analizom dokumentacije dostupne u dosijeima korisnika. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da je nestabilnost smeštaja visoko zastupljena u ispitivanom uzorku (93.5%), pri čemu se kao najsnažniji prediktor izdvaja prisustvo eksternalizovanih problema ponašanja (β = .41, p < .001). Ostali izdvojeni prediktori su mlađi uzrast dece pri izmeštanju iz porodice, postavljena dijagnoza poremećaja ponašanja i kontakti sa primarnom porodicom. Prisustvo internalizovanih problema nije imalo statističku značajnost. Nalazi su konzistentni sa prethodnim istraživanjima ovog problema i potvrđuju da su deca sa eksternalizovanim problemima u povišenom riziku od nestabilnosti smeštaja. Razmotrene su implikacije za dalja istraživanja i unapređenje prakse kroz razvoj preventivnih intervencija i sistema podrške koji bi smanjili rizik od nestabilnosti smeštaja i poboljšali ishode za decu bez roditeljskog staranja.
