Paauglių potyriai tėvams išvykus į užsienį

LTPadidėjusi lietuvių emigracija turėjo nemažos įtakos demografiniams, ekonominiams bei socialiniams procesams. Emigracija daugiausia įtakos daro šeimoms ir vaikams. Emigrantai dažnai siekdami ekonominės naudos nepaiso socialinių emigracijos pasekmių šeimai. Nereti atvejai, kai išvyksta vienas ar abu tėvai, vaikus ilgam palikdami giminaičių ar net svetimų žmonių globai, o kartais ir visai be globos. Tėvams išvykus, daugelis vaikų susiduria su mokymosi problemomis, trečdaliui pablogėjo mokymosi rezultatai; tyrimo dalyviai nurodo, kad ketvirtadalis vaikų pradėjo praleidinėti pamokas. Visgi aktualiausia problema tampa pasikeitęs vaiko elgesys ir su juo susiję padariniai. Taip pat nustatyta, jog iš socialinio darbuotojo veiklų šeimoms, globojančioms emigravusių tėvų vaikus, mažiau svarbi socialinio darbuotojo organizacinė veikla, rengiant mokymus globėjams, bei daugiau nei trečdalis šeimų, globojančios emigravusių tėvų vaikus, nepageidauja socialinio darbuotojo tarpininkavimo, padedant nustatyti psichologo konsultacijų poreikį vaikui.

ENBackground: The Increased Lithuanian emigration had a significant impact on the demographic,economic and social processes. Families and children are largely influenced by the emigration factor. Seeking economic benefits, emigrants often ignore social effects of emigration on their family. It is often the case that parents,who are about to emigrate either singly or together, leave their children behind for an indefinite time to relatives or even to stranger care. Aim: To determine the experience and psychological well-beeing of adolescens after parental emigration. Method: Quantitative study, anonymous questionnaire. Research results and conclusion: After parents‘ emigration, many children face learning problems, one-third of the children get lowergrades at school. The respondents of the study designate that a quarter of the children begin playing truant. However, the most relevant problem is a change in child’s behavior and other related issues. One-third of the respondents indicate that a child becomes more reserved and a quarter of children have displayed signs of aggression. Half of the respondents specified that usually family members help the guardians to deal with the arising problems when taking care of the left behind children and only a quarter of guardians turn for help to the social pedagogue. The findings of the research demonstrate that from all the activities of a social worker, educational activity is needed the most. Educational activity involves providing information on the institutions which organize social assistance for the families, who take up the children of the emigrants. A quarter of keepers would prefer social worker’s representation inhelpingto protecta child‘sinterests in variousinstitutions and more tha none-third would favor prevention activities which would help to assess child‘s problems and find a solution to fix them.It was also revealed that from a social worker’s activities to families, fostering children of the emigrated parents, of less importance is asocial worker‘s organizational performance through training guardiansand more than one-third of families, caring forchildrenwhose parents have emigrated, do not wish a social worker to mediate in helping to determine a child‘s need for psychological consultation.
