Resumo(s)
A parentalidade de risco e perigo é indissociável de um funcionamento familiar marcadamente disfuncional e encontra-se frequentemente relacionada com contextos familiares em situação de desvantagem económica e social. Estas famílias são frequentemente direcionadas para programas interventivos que visam desenvolver competências parentais, alterar padrões de disfuncionalidade e reduzir a probabilidade de abuso e/ou negligência, primando pela preservação da criança em meio natural de vida. Apesar da vasta literatura sobre intervenções centradas na família, são escassos os estudos qualitativos, em particular, os centrados na compreensão da recuperação familiar embora constituam uma fonte fundamental de informação e reflexão para os serviços de proteção da criança. O presente estudo, exploratório e seguindo uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa, foi concebido com o intuito de aprofundar o conhecimento científico acerca do conceito de recuperação familiar, segundo o entendimento dos técnicos que trabalham com estas famílias. Neste sentido, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a 24 técnicos das Equipas de Intervenção Familiar da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa que trabalham com famílias em risco e/ou perigo. Os dados recolhidos foram posteriormente analisados através de uma Análise Temática, com recurso ao programa de análise de dados qualitativos, NVivo. Os resultados sugerem que os técnicos associam a recuperação familiar ao processo de mudança das famílias, caraterizado por continuidade e não-linearidade e ocorrendo passo a passo. Este processo é marcado sobretudo pela redução ou eliminação de vulnerabilidades, risco e perigo, pela autonomização das famílias e pelo ajustamento e bem-estar das crianças. Existem múltiplos fatores que influenciam a recuperação das famílias, sendo particularmente sublinhados os fatores familiares e do sistema de intervenção. Constituem indicadores centrais de não recuperação a ausência de mudanças ao longo do tempo, a baixa motivação para a mudança e a fraca capacidade reflexiva das famílias. Apesar da emocionalidade negativa associada ao trabalho com as famílias em risco e perigo, os profissionais revelam uma atitude positiva marcada pela convicção nas potencialidades das famílias e na sua recuperação. O presente estudo poderá constituir uma fonte útil de informação e reflexão para os profissionais e serviços de promoção e proteção das crianças.
At risk and in danger parenting is inseparable from markedly dysfunctional families functioning and it is often associated to social and economic disadvantage family contexts. These families are frequently directed to intervention programs that aim to develop parenting skills, change patterns of disfunction and reduce the likelihood of abuse and/or neglect, prioritizing the preservation of the child in the family of origin. Despite the vast literature on family centered interventions, qualitative studies are scarce, particularly those focused on understanding family recovery, although they constitute a fundamental source of information and reflection for child protection services. The current study, exploratory and following a qualitative methodological approach, was conceived with the goal of deepening scientific knowledge about the concept of family recovery, according to the understanding of technicians who work with these families. To this end, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 24 technicians from Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa who work daily with at risk and/or in danger families. The collected data were posteriorly analyzed through a Thematic Analysis using the qualitative analysis program, NVivo. Results suggest that technicians associate family recovery with the families change process, characterized by continuity and non-linearity and occurring step by step. This process is mainly marked by the reduction or elimination of vulnerabilities, risk and danger, by the empowerment of families and the adjustment and well-being of children. There are multiple factors that influence family recovery, with particular emphasis on family factor and the intervention system. The absence of changes over time, the low motivation for change and the weak reflexive capacity of families constitute central indicators of non-recovery. Despite the negative emotionality associated with working with families at risk and in danger, professionals reveal a positive attitude marked by the conviction in the potential of families and their recovery. The present study might constitute a useful source of information and reflection for professionals and for child protective services.
