Práva a povinnosti pěstounů / Rights and responsibilities of fosterparentsBorecká, Martina January 2017 (has links)
Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich vor allem mit dem Thema der Pflegschaft, sowie mit den anderen Formen der Pflege um das Kind. In der Arbeit werden die Entwicklung und die rechtliche Regelung der Pflegschaft behandelt. Die Entstehung der Pflegeförderung tritt auf, wenn die leiblichen Eltern gehindert sind, sich um ihr eigenes Kind kümmern zu können. Diese Hindernisse können kurzfristiger oder dauerhafter Natur sein. Die Pflegschaft kann in die individuelle Pflege und Gruppenpflege unterteilt werden. Ein Beispiel für die Gruppenpflege sind die SOS-Kinderdörfer. Wenn das Kind einer fremden Person anvertraut wird, steht am Anfang des ganzen Prozesses die Eintragung des Antragstellers in das Register, weiter folgt die Phase der Vorbereitung und dann die Vermittlung der Pflege. Die Rechte und Pflichten der Pflegeeltern sind durch das Bürgerliche Gesetzbuch und durch das Gesetz über den Sozial- rechtlichen Schutz des Kindes bestimmt. Die Grundpflicht der Pflegeeltern sowie ihr Grundrecht bestehen darin, sich um das Kind so persönlich zu kümmern, dass es sich gut entwickelt. Die Pflegeeltern sind dazu verpflichtet, die leiblichen Eltern über die Entwicklung des Kindes zu informieren, denn über alle wesentlichen Dinge wird von den leiblichen Eltern entschieden, beziehungsweise, wenn das Kind kein Elternteil hat, vom...

The psychological experiences of foster mothers in fostering adolescentsMosimege, Keolebogile Betty January 2017 (has links)
Unfavourable socio-economic and psychosocial changes, globally and locally, have forced communities to place an increasing number of adolescents in foster care, or take the necessary steps to accommodate them in orphanages. The drastic interventions had many unsettling consequences. South African orphanages were inundated with orphaned and removed children, and foster care was a constructive alternative. Research results have shown that, for children to develop normally, they have to be cared for in cordial and constructive family structures (Republic of South Africa, Department of Social Development, 2009).
The present study was exploratory and aimed to explore the challenges faced by foster mothers who were fostering the adolescents at the time of interviewing, as well as coping strategies employed by foster mothers in their task of fostering. The target areas were Mamelodi and Atteridgeville Townships in the Tshwane/Pretoria Region. Twenty foster mothers were selected from a list of foster mothers received from social workers and semi-structured interviews were conducted with these 20 respondents. Respondents? narratives were translated from Setswana and North Sotho to English. Data was transcribed and analysed by means of Thematic Network Analysis. Four core themes were extracted, namely Crisis, Structure, Relationships, and Resilience and Spirituality. These themes were discussed and linked to the tenets of Positive Psychology and literature sources, and communicated to social workers, foster mothers and legislators. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Psychology / PhD / Unrestricted

Understanding Social Workers' Knowledge of Foster Care DriftGardner, Joey 01 January 2018 (has links)
Foster care drift is the extended stay in foster care without attaining family reunification or permanency with another placement. When foster care youth experience foster care drift, they face the possibility of aging out of the foster care system. Interventions and policies have been implemented to aid family service workers during the process of permanency planning; however, a great number of foster care youth remain in care. This study explored the perceptions of social work professionals regarding foster care drift regarding issues and challenges that social workers engaged in foster care placement face regarding foster care drift. The ecological system theory provided the foundation for understanding the connection of social workers and the external systems surrounding them. An action research design was used to carry out this study. A focus group with family service workers in the southeastern region of the United States was conducted. Seven participants discussed foster care drift and developed possible solutions. Key findings from the study show 3 main themes: ineffective communication, unproductive parent education classes, and unhelpful allocation of agency funding. Possible solutions to decrease foster care drift include improving communication among workers and other agencies, improving parent education courses to include an independent living skills component, and allocating monetary resources to develop programs specific for foster care youth and their families. The findings of this study might effect social change by supporting a shift in focus of foster care services from out-of-home interventions to preventative services to promote family stability.
