Abstract

Prema demografskim pokazateljima u Hrvatskoj se bilježi porast broja jednoroditeljskih obitelji. Pregledom literature dolazi se do zaključka da strukturna manjkavost jednoroditeljskih obitelji utječe na roditelje i djecu iz tih obitelji koje imaju veći rizik od siromaštva, zdravstvenih problema te problema s edukcijom.
Cilj istraživanja je bio prepoznati specifične potrebe jednoroditeljskih obitelji u gradovima Hrvatske koje bi bile podloga za razvoj učinkovitih programa pomoći i podrške na lokalnoj razini.
U istraživanju je sudjelovalo šest članova Hrvatske mreže zdravih gradova (HMZG). U formiranju uzorka koristila se strategija namjernog uzorkovanja „informacijama bogatih“ ispitanika. Ograničenje je bila dob roditelja do 35 godina koji imaju dijete starosti do 7 godina. Od odabranih ispitanika informacije su prikupljene pomoću vođenog (standardiziranog) intervjua kojeg su provele patronažne sestre. U obradu je primljeno sveukupno 79 transkripta intervjua. Obrada transkripata intervjua provedena je metodom analize sadržaja redukcijom teksta.
Ranjivost jednoroditeljskih obitelji, identificirana pretraživanjem publicirane literature, potvrđena je ovdje prikazanim istraživanjem. Konkretni problemi s kojima se te obitelji suočavaju su nezaposlenost, nedostatak podrške i nedovoljna upoznatost s propisima i organizacijama koje im nude pomoć.
Istraživanje je doprinos europskim istraživanjima nejednakosti u zdravlju. Njime se naglašava značaj intervencija u ranom razvoju djeteta, posebno kod djece koja odrastaju u nepovoljnim socijalno-ekonomskim uvjetima.

Abstract (english)

According to demographic indicators the number of single-parent families in Croatia is increasing over the years. Literature review leads to a conclusion that a structural defect in single-parent families increases their risk of pauperization, health risks and educational problems with children. The aim of this research was to identify specific needs of single-parent families in the Croatian cities. Recognized needs would be the basis for development of effective programs that will support and help at the local level. This applied research was conducted in (and by) the six members of Croatian Healthy Cities Network. While forming the sample, strategy of deliberate sampling of “information rich” respondents was used. The limit was the age of parents up to 35 years of age who have a child up to 7 years of age. Data were collected through structured (tape recorded) interview with parents, performed by visiting nurses. A total of 79 transcripts of interviews were received. Data analysis was performed applying qualitative analytical method (text reduction content analysis). The vulnerability of single-parent families, identified through literature review was confirmed with this research. The specific problems faced by these families are unemployment, lack of support, insufficient understanding of legal rights and regulations and organizations that can provide them with support and assistance.
This research can contribute to the body of European health inequity research. It emphasizes the importance of interventions during early childhood development, especially in children who are growing up in adverse socioeconomic conditions.
