Kiekvieno vaiko prigimtinė teisė augti savo šeimoje – saugioje ir jo raidos poreikius atitinkančioje aplinkoje. Deja, kasmet daugėja vaikų, savo šeimose patiriančių nepriežiūrą ir apleistumą, skurdą, prievartą, tėvų piktnaudžiavimą savo valdžia ir pan. Kai biologinė vaiko šeima nebepajėgi tenkinti svarbiausių vaiko interesų, jos funkcijas perima globos institucijos. Lietuvoje vaiko teises ir apsaugą reglamentuojantys pagrindiniai įstatymai pabrėžia būtinybę padėti vaikams iš socialinės rizikos šeimų išvengti socialinės atskirties, sukurti jiems palankias gyvenimo sąlygas bei teikti ugdymo paslaugas, kad jie galėtų vystyti savo socialinius įgūdžius. Globos įstaigos mūsų šalyje − bene pagrindinės institucijos, įgaliotos padėti tėvų globos netekusiems vaikams. Kartu pabrėžiama būtinybė iš esmės keisti požiūrį į vaiko globos klausimus, remiantis pagrindinėmis JT vaiko teisių deklaracijos nuostatomis, kuriomis vadovaujantis svarbu kuo daugiau vaikų apgyvendinti globėjų šeimose, šeimynose, kur tėvų globos netekusiems vaikams pagal galimybes būtų sukurta kuo artimesnė natūraliai šeimai aplinka. Tokią aplinką siūlo nevyriausybinės organizacijos, veikiančios pagal tarptautinės organizacijos SOS–KDI modelį, kur globotiniai gyvena šeimynose su mama-auklėtoja, vaikų kaimuose. Vaikų gyvenimo uždaro tipo globos įstaigose klausimai Lietuvos mokslininkų analizuoti įvairiapusiškai, tačiau pasigendama tyrimų, vertinančių vaikų ir mamų-auklėtojų tarpusavio santykius NVO vaikų kaimų šeimynose...

It is a duty of the state and society to take care of these children in order to ensure the highest quality guardianship, as close to the environment of a family as the possibilities allow. Such environment is offered to children, who lost parental care, by non-governmental organisations acting under the model of the international organisation SOS – KDI, where the foster-children live in house-families with a foster mother, in special children villages. Organising the children’s life at foster home, it is very important to ensure good intercommunication between the personnel and foster-children. However so far only a few scientific researches were performed, which analyse the feelings of children, who grow in children’s villages families, and their relationships with the personnel. The objective of the Bachelor’s Thesis was to asses the intercommunication between the children residing in the children village families of NGOs and foster mothers, who work there. The research was performed at the foster families of NGO’s children villages. 98 foster-children and six foster mothers participated in the survey. Using the method of the questionnaire survey, it was researched how did children assess the care and guardianship of their foster mothers. Also, the approach of foster mothers towards their foster-children and their motivation to work... [to full text]

Att vara familjehem är ett uppdrag som kan innebära både positiva och negativa händelser i vardagen som kan skapa olika känslor hos familjehemsmammorna. I tidigare forskning har obetydligt fokus lagts på kvinnans upplevelser som familjehemsmamma. Syftet med studien är därför att genom en kvalitativ metod undersöka hur familjehemsmammor ser på sin roll och vilka känslor som uppstår i uppdraget. Studien genomfördes med hjälp av tio semistrukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet var tio familjehemsmammor i varierande åldrar. Empirin analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys. Teoretiska utgångspunkter i studien var symbolisk interaktionism, rollteori, emotionsteorier och bindningsrelationen i anknytningsteori. Resultatet visade att familjehemsmamman ser på sin roll som att vara en omsorgstagande och kärleksfull mamma. Det var en drivkraft att få göra skillnad i ett barns liv, älska ett barn som tidigare haft det svårt och ge det en trygg och kärleksfull uppväxt. Uppdraget som familjehemsmamma krävde mycket tid och engagemang som orsakade rollkonflikter som då ledde till skuldkänslor. Resultatet visar även att formella krav i uppdraget och kontakten med det biologiska nätverket runt familjehemsbarnet kunde vara konfliktfyllt och familjehemsmamman kunde då inte ge barnet den trygghet som hon ansåg vara viktig i rollen vilket skapade känslor av oro och maktlöshet. / Being a family home is an assignment that can involve both positive and negative events in everyday life that can create different feelings in the family home mothers. In previous research, insignificant focus has been placed on the woman's experiences as a foster mother. The purpose of the study is therefore to investigate through a qualitative method how foster mothers look at their role and what emotions arise in the assignment. The study was conducted using ten semi-structured interviews. The sample was ten foster mothers of varying ages. The empirics were analyzed using thematic analysis. Theoretical starting points in the study were symbolic interactionism, role theory, emotion theories and the bonding relationship in attachment theory. The results showed that the foster mother sees her role as being a caring and loving mother. It was a driving force to make a difference in a child's life, to love a child who has previously had a difficult time and to give it a safe and loving upbringing. The assignment as a foster mother required a lot of time and commitment, which caused role conflicts that then led to feelings of guilt. The results also show that formal requirements in the assignment and contact with the biological network around the foster child could be conflict-filled and the foster mother could not then give the child the security she considered important in the role, which created feelings of anxiety and powerlessness.
