Abstract

Rad istražuje dinamiku partnerskih odnosa unutar kućanstava tijekom pandemije koronavirusa, s naglaskom na rodnoj podjeli kućanskih poslova i brige o djeci. U uvodnom dijelu rada objašnjava se kontekst pandemije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Korištena je mješovita metodologija, koja uključuje analizu podataka iz anketa provedenih 2020. i 2021. godine te kvalitativne intervjue s deset sudionika (pet muškaraca i pet žena). Žene još uvijek preuzimaju većinu kućanskih poslova i brige o djeci. Tradicionalne rodne uloge još uvijek su duboko ukorijenjene u naše društvo, obzirom da su prema nalazima žene obavljale većinu poslova, dok su muškarci uskakali samo u izvanrednim situacijama. Tijekom rada od kuće, mnogi sudionici su se suočavali s izazovima vezanim uz ravnotežu između poslovnih zadataka i obiteljskih, tj. roditeljskih dužnosti. Sudionici su izvijestili o povećanom stresu i napetostima unutar svojih partnerskih odnosa tijekom lockdowna. Opisali su niz izazovnih situacija koje su značajno utjecale na njihov svakodnevni život i komunikaciju s partnerima. Istraživanje je otkrilo različite strategije suočavanja s lockdownom, koje su sudionici i njihovi partneri primjenjivali. Naučili su važne lekcije tijekom ovog razdoblja, naglašavajući potrebu za prilagodbom i kompromisima. Ukupno gledano, lockdown je bio izazovan period koji je pokazao važnost njegovanja obiteljskih odnosa te održavanja otvorene i iskrene komunikacije.

Abstract (english)

This paper examines the dynamics of partner relationships within households during the coronavirus pandemic, with a focus on the gender division of housework and childcare. The introductory part of the paper explains the context of the pandemic in the Republic of Croatia. A mixed methodology was used, including the analysis of data from surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021, and qualitative interviews with ten participants (five men and five women). Women still do most of the housework and childcare. Traditional gender roles are still deeply rooted in our society, as the results showed that women did most of the work, with men only stepping in in emergency situations. While working from home, many participants faced challenges in balancing work and family, i.e. parental responsibilities. Participants reported increased stress and tension in their partner relationships during the lockdown. They described a range of challenging situations that significantly affected their daily lives and communication with their partners. The research identified a number of strategies used by participants and their partners to cope with the lockdown. They learned important lessons during this time, emphasising the need for adaptation and compromise. Overall, the lockdown was a challenging time that demonstrated the importance of nurturing family relationships and maintaining open and honest communication.
