Abstract

Pastoral hrvatskih branitelja iz Domovinskog rata i njihovih obitelji iznimno je zahtjevno i kompleksno područje koje zahtijeva sustavan i organiziran pristup Katoličke Crkve koja je kompetentna za istraživanje čovjekova duha i ona se sa svojim kompetencijama mora uključiti u pružanje duhovne pomoći hrvatskim braniteljima, osobito onima koje muči, tlači i iscrpljuje napast suicida. Također, cijela društvena zajednica ima veliku ulogu i odgovornost za razvoj PTSP-a kod umirovljenih i... More razvojačenih hrvatskih branitelja, iako u velikoj mjeri on ovisi i o jedinstvenoj nutranjoj prirodi svake osobe. Iznimno je važna duhovna i psihološka skrb te socijalna interakcija i ambijent u kojemu pojedinac živi jer je presudan za njegovo suočavanje s potencijalnim traumatskim iskustvom i životnim funkcioniranjem.
Sukladno zaključcima Hrvatske biskupske konferencije počevši od 24. siječnja 2023. godine, na kojoj su biskupi posebnu pozornost posvetili temi dušobrižništva hrvatskih branitelja, zajednički su promišljali kako unaprijediti i intenzivirati spomenuti vid pastorala. Tada je ujedno istaknuta velika zahvalnost hrvatskim braniteljima za sve žrtve što su ih nesebično podnijeli za slobodu koju uživamo, a čije posljedice mnogi od njih i danas osjećaju. Kao društvo u cjelini dužni smo im iskazati solidarnost pružajući im podršku i pomoć.
Ovaj diplomski rad je motiviran inicijativom hrvatskih biskupa te bolnim, ali i dužnim podsjećanjem na stradanja u Domovinskom ratu. Ne radi se o nekom nostalgičnom sjećanju kojim se želi samo odati priznanje veteranima Domovinskog rata oboljelim od PTSP-a, koje sve više zaboravljaju kako poratno vrijeme odmiče, već o upućivanju na stvarnosti koju, nažalost, određeni broj veterana sa svojim obiteljima svakodnevno proživljava.

Abstract (english)

The pastoral care of Croatian veterans from the Homeland War and their families is an extremely demanding and complex area that requires a systematic and organized approach by the Catholic Church, which is competent in researching the human spirit, and it must engage with its competencies in providing spiritual assistance to Croatian veterans, especially those who are tormented, oppressed and exhausted by the temptation of suicide. Also, the entire social community has a major role... More and responsibility for the development of PTSD in retired and demobilized Croatian veterans, although to a large extent it also depends on the unique inner nature of each person. Spiritual and psychological care, as well as social interaction and the environment in which an individual lives, are extremely important because they are crucial for his or her coping with potential traumatic experiences and life functioning.
In accordance with the conclusions of the Croatian Bishops' Conference starting on January 24, 2023, at which the bishops devoted special attention to the topic of pastoral care of Croatian veterans. They jointly considered how to improve and intensify the aforementioned aspect of pastoral care. At the same time, great gratitude was expressed to the Croatian defenders for all the sacrifices they selflessly made for the freedom we enjoy, the consequences of which many of them still feel today. As a society as a whole, we are obliged to show them solidarity by providing them with support and assistance.
This thesis is motivated by the initiative of the Croatian bishops and the painful, but also necessary reminder of the suffering in the Homeland War. It is not a nostalgic memory that seeks only to pay tribute to the veterans of the Homeland War suffering from PTSD, who are increasingly forgotten as the post-war period progresses, but rather a reference to the reality that, unfortunately, a certain number of veterans and their families experience on a daily basis.
