ABSTRACT

Hosting families host children, who are deprived of contact with their own families. They aim to create a positive family model and supportive relationships for these children. This qualitative study was based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with 20 couples in 20 hosting families (20 interviews, 40 interviewees). The present article describes and analyzes the dialectics in the families’ experience: on one pole is the moral obligation to accept the child with a life history and ongoing difficulties; on the other pole is the stress derived from the child’s emotional distress, risk behavior, and crisis situations. The hosting families experience distress and, sometimes, helplessness. At the same time, their commitment to the choice to become a hosting family is reinforced. The article emphasizes hosting families’ need for support and counseling to help strengthen their coping capacities.

寄宿寄宿儿童的家庭

摘要

寄宿家庭寄宿儿童,他们被剥夺了与自己家人的联系。他们的目标是为这些孩子创造一个积极的家庭模式和支持性关系。这项定性研究基于对 20 个寄宿家庭中的 20 对夫妇的深入半结构化访谈(20 次访谈,40 名受访者)。本文描述和分析了家庭经验中的辩证法:一方面是接受有生活史和持续困难的孩子的道德义务;另一极是来自孩子的情绪困扰、危险行为和危机情况的压力。寄宿家庭会感到痛苦,有时还会感到无助。与此同时,他们对选择成为寄宿家庭的承诺也得到了加强。
