Summary / Abstract:

LTKnyga parengta 2004 m. Lietuvoje atlikto sociologinio tyrimo rezultatų pagrindu. Atliekant tyrimą buvo vadovautasi pagrindiniais 2004 m. Kopenhagoje vykusios konferencijos „Vaikų iki 3 metų amžiaus, prižiūrimų institucinėse įstaigose, skaičius ir charakteristikos Europos šalyse“ [...] teiginiais. Šioje konferencijoje buvo konstatuota, kad kūdikių ir vaikų įkurdinimas institucijose be tėvų ar globėjų ilgesniam kaip 3 mėnesių laikotarpiui gali nulemti jų intelektinės, emocinės ir fizinės raidos sulėtėjimą, kas kelia realią grėsmę vaikų sveikatai bei pažeidžia jų teises. Tai gali būti net prilyginta smurtui prieš vaikus. [...] Atliekant šį tyrimą buvo išnagrinėtos kūdikių ir vaikų iki 3 metų, įkurdintų valstybinėse globos institucijose, socialinės demografinės charakteristikos, išsiaiškintos jų įkurdinimo priežastys, buvimo globos institucijose trukmė, sveikatos būklė atvykus ir fiksuotai 2004 m. lapkričio 1 d. Buvo įvertinti valstybinėse institucijose globojamų kūdikių ir vaikų iki 3 metų sveikatos būklę lemiantys veiksniai ir paruošti galimi sveikatos būsenos stebėsenos rodikliai. Nustatytas kūdikių ir vaikų iki 3 metų, turinčių negalią, sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų poreikis [...]. Taip pat nustatyti galimi įkurdinimo ir išvykimo iš valstybinių globos institucijų per 2002 – 2004 metus variantai [...]. Atlikta veiksnių, dėl kurių vaikai buvo įkurdinti valstybinėse įstaigose, analizė. Nagrinėti veiksniai, kurie galėtų ir privalėtų skatinti vaikų reintegraciją į biologinę šeimą, bei veiksniai, kurie galėtų skatinti vaikų įkurdinimą kitose šeimos ar šeimynose arba įsivaikinimą.

ENThe book was prepared on the basis of the results of the sociological research carried out in Lithuania, in 2004. During the investigation the statements from the conference "The number and the characteristics of children under 3 years, who live in institutions in Europe" [...] which took place in Copenhagen in 2004 had the leading role. In the conference it was stated that if infants and children live in institutions for more than three months without their parents or tutors it may slow down their intellectual, emotional and physical development which threatens children’s health and results in a violation of their rights. It may even be amounted to violence against children. [...] During the investigation, infants and children under three years of age living in state foster institutions were examined for social demographic characteristics; causes of living in foster home, the time spent there, health on arrival and on 1 November 2004 were determined. The factors determining health condition of infants and children under three years of age were evaluated and possible health monitoring indicators were prepared. Needs for health care services for infants and children under three years of age with disabilities were determined [...]. The author also determined possible variants of staying at and leaving state foster homes during the period 2002 - 2004 [...]. The analysis of reasons of coming to state institutions was carried out. Factors encouraging reintegration into biological family or adoption were analyzed.
