Abstract | Obitelj je temeljna društvena zajednica koja je u stalnom dodiru s okolinom. Shodno tome, na obitelj utječu razne društvene promjene uzrokujući njenu izmijenjenu strukturu i obilježja. Tako su neke promjene poput emancipacije žena u poslovnoj sferi, izmjena tradicionalnih uvjerenja, težnja za rodnom ravnopravnošću, jačanje individualizma dovele do novih spoznaja i izmjena u obiteljskom životu. Značajna promjena je uloga oca koja doživljava transformaciju od pasivnog i hladnog roditelja do aktivnog, uključenog i zainteresiranog oca za skrb i brigu za dijete. Shodno navedenom, cilj ovog istraživanja je bio opisati i razumjeti ulogu oca i majke u suvremenoj obitelji, odnosno ispitati načine kako majke i očevi obavljaju svoju ulogu roditelja i identificirati njihove percepcije očinstva i majčinstva. Konačan cilj je kroz navedeno prepoznati i objasniti koncept suroditeljstva te prepoznati i objasniti koncept novog očinstva. Kako bi se ispitao cilj, korištena je metoda intervjua. Prema dobivenim rezultatima istraživanja, majčinske i očinske prakse uglavnom se podudaraju, odnosno očevi, kao i majke, obavljaju aktivnosti poput hranjenja, igranja i presvlačenja djeteta. Dakle, rezultati ukazuju na uključenost oca u odgoj tako dokazujući njegovu promijenjenu ulogu. Doživljaj roditeljske uloge uglavnom je opisan kroz emocije sreće, zadovoljstva i ispunjenja, uz neke neugodne emocije poput straha i nesigurnosti koje su kod očeva osobito izražene u razdoblju neposredno nakon rođenja djeteta. Također, prema dobivenim rezultatima suroditeljstvo je prisutno te se ostvaruje kroz različite načine suradnje, poput podjele poslova, razmjene informacija o djetetu, dogovaranje te obostranim pružanjem podrške supružnika |
Abstract (english) | The family is a fundamental social community that is in constant contact with the environment. Consequently, the family is affected by various social changes, causing its changed structure and characteristics. Thus, some changes such as the emancipation of women in the business sphere, the change of traditional beliefs, the aspiration for gender equality, the strengthening of individualism have led to new insights and changes in family life. A significant change is the father's role, who is undergoing a transformation from a passive and cold parent to an active, involved and interested father in the care and concern for the child. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to describe and understand the role of father and mother in the contemporary family, that is, to examine the ways in which mothers and fathers perform their role as parents and to identify their perceptions of fatherhood and motherhood. The final goal is to recognize and explain the concept of co-parenting, which is realized through mutual support and cooperation, and to recognize and explain the concept of new fatherhood. In order to investigate the objective, the interview method was used. According to the research results, maternal and paternal practices mostly match. That is fathers, as well as mothers, perform activities such as feeding, playing and changing the child's clothes. Therefore, the results indicate the father's involvement in upbringing, thus proving his changed role. The experience of the parental role is mainly described through the emotions of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment, along with some unpleasant emotions such as fear and insecurity, which is are especially expressed in fathers in the period immediately after the of the child. Also, according to the obtained results, co-parenting is present and is realized through various ways of cooperation, such as division of tasks, exchange of information about the child, agreement and mutual support of spouses. |
