Sažetak
The Specific characteristics of families at risk: contribution to complex interventions planning projects (FamResPlan) goal is to gain insight and new knowledge on families at-risk, specifically within the frame of concepts as resilience, readiness for change and intervention and quality of life. New knowledge on parenting and family relations is undoubtedly useful, but impossible to gain without research in the family and about the family (Hämäläinen, Pirskanen & Rautio, 2011). Such studies are very complex and challenging due to numerous aspects, and especially ethical considerations. The family relations are a sensitive topic, since private and intimate details about family lives are dealt with, which are often perceived as "sacred", kept in the family and not shared with the others (Fontes, 2004, 142; Smart, 2006, 155). This project will start from known ethical principles, which will be completed according to specific ethical aspects of the research with families. Good research practice requires that the initial outline of ethical norms originates from ethical standards and the legal framework. In Croatia, such research practice is regulated by many documents. The research team will follow the guidelines laid down by the aforementioned Ethical Codes and legal provisions. General ethical principles of the research process will be followed: importance of full information provision on the objectives and study research procedures, autonomy of subjects in deciding on participation in the study, confidentiality of data, protection of the participants' well-being and benefit from the knowledge (Rimac & Ogresta, 2012). Attention will be paid to possible ethical issues, which are specific for quantitative and qualitative research. In addition, research team will conduct research according to, for purpose of this project, developed ethics guidelines, general and specific principles being relevant for research topic and research design of FamResPlan project, as presented at the end of this paper.
