Difficulties of Related Foster Parenthood
MATOUŠKOVÁ, Lenka
This Bachelor work deals with the issue of kinship caregiveners, especially grandparents raising their grandchildren. It is divided in two parts, theoretical and empirical. In the theoretical part there are the system of substitutional parental care in the Czech Republic and its limitation in law being described. In detail the text focuses on kinship caregiving and points out difficulties the grandparents are confronted with. Further on, the text describes current system of social work with these families, as it is set in the Czech Republic. Mail goal of the work is to present some sort of map of main difficulties, these grandparent caregiveners have to face, especially when we put these into the context with the problems on the biological parents side, that caused this state. To meet this goal, I set one research question, chose qualitative research strategy and the method of half-structured interview. I chose the research file by the method of stratificational intentional choice. So that I divided the basic file into several groups according to the type of the main problem, which was the cause of the state, and chose one representative of each group. The interviews were divided into particular topic categories using the cluster method and those were further analysed. This work can serve as a source of information about this families of caregiving grandparents for social workers in non-profit organizations that works with them, especially in the south bohemia region, where the research was made. Because we can presume, that the group of these families will rather get bigger in the future.
