Abstrakt

Depresja poadopcyjna (DAP PAD) to zjawisko, które coraz częściej zwraca uwagę badaczy w kontekście emocjonalnych trudności związanych z adaptacją do roli rodzica adopcyjnego. W przeciwieństwie do depresji poporodowej, PAD dotyka rodziców adoptujących dzieci i może mieć różne przyczyny oraz skutki. Zagadnienie problemu depresji poadopcyjnej na gruncie polskim jest jeszcze słabo znane. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników istniejących badań dotyczących problemu depresji poadopcyjnej. Przegląd literatury na potrzeby niniejszej pracy został przeprowadzony w bazach naukowych: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science oraz EBSCO. Przedstawione opracowanie stanowi przegląd prac opublikowanych od 2009 do 2024 r. W trakcie wyszukiwania prac do analizy użyto następujących słów kluczowych: post-adoption depression, depression, adoption. Ostatecznie do analizy wybrano 18 artykułów o charakterze prac badawczych. Wstępne wyniki badań sugerują, że depresja poadopcyjna jest zjawiskiem powszechnym i wymaga dalszych badań oraz odpowiednich programów wsparcia dla rodziców adopcyjnych. Kluczowe znaczenie ma budowanie realistycznych oczekiwań i zapewnienie dostępu do wsparcia psychologicznego.

Słowa kluczowe:
