Sažetak
Foster carers have a specific task related to providing care to children who have experienced traumatic experiences and who, due to their complex needs, require longer periods of care. This paper aims to show the most common sources of stress of traditional and specialized foster carers for children that are mentioned in scientific papers published in Ebsco, Sage and Google Scholar databases and on the Croatian scientific portal Hrčak in the period from 2002 to 2022. A total of 33 papers were analysed, of which 17 papers are available on the scientific portal Hrčak and 16 papers are available in the databases Ebsco, Sage and Google Scholar. The identification of the sources of stress in foster parents for children is approached from the transactional model of stress according to the author Richard S. Lazarus, and the sources of stress in this paper are divided according to the characteristics of the person (foster and foster child) and the nature of external events. In addition to some sociodemographic characteristics, providing care to children with more pronounced emotional or behavioural difficulties is the most common source of stress for foster parents, which is related to the characteristics of the foster child. Sources of stress related to the characteristics of foster parents are feelings of professional incompetence, while sources of stress related to external events refer to working conditions and relationships with others. In our paper, sources of stress related to the organization of work of foster parents can still be identified.
