Abstract(s)
Nos últimos anos tem-se assistido a mudanças na família com impactos nas crianças. Em Portugal, entre 2011 e 2021, conforme dados dos Censos do Instituto Nacional de Estatística, existiu um aumento de 99528 famílias monoparentais.
As famílias monoparentais enfrentam desafios e dificuldades específicas, em parte impactados pela não residência conjunta dos elementos do casal parental. O conflito familiar pode assumir particular relevância na sequência da separação conjugal. O conflito parental tem impactos no bem-estar das crianças e jovens.
Os Centros de Apoio Familiar e Aconselhamento Parental (CAFAP) constituem-se como um serviço de apoio especializado às famílias com crianças e jovens. Através de um estudo exploratório, com base em entrevistas (focus group e individuais) a técnicos de CAFAP, pretendeu-se compreender o papel desempenhado por esses Centros, na intervenção com famílias monoparentais em situação de conflito parental, e quais as forças, fraquezas, oportunidades e ameaças dessa intervenção.
Os resultados sugerem, em relação ao conflito parental, existirem diferentes tipos (conflitos relacionados e não relacionados com a parentalidade), fatores potenciadores e protetores, e verificarem-se impactos nas crianças e jovens. Parece existir uma crescente relevância e necessidade de intervenção dos CAFAP, com famílias monoparentais em situação de conflito parental, e diversos fatores que interferem nos resultados da mesma. Por
outro lado, os resultados da análise SWOT realizada sugerem a existência de ameaças, fraquezas, oportunidades e forças, nessa intervenção.
Estado e família desempenham um papel crucial na promoção do bem-estar e do desenvolvimento das crianças e jovens, sugerindo os resultados do estudo a premência de políticas de família, explícitas e implícitas, coesas.
In recent years there have been changes in the family that have had an impact on children. In Portugal, between 2011 and 2021, according to data from the National Statistics Institute Census, there was an increase of 99,528 single-parent families. Single parent families face specific challenges and difficulties, partly impacted by the non-residency of the elements of the parental couple. Family conflict can assume special relevance following marital separation. Parental conflict has impacts on the welfare of children and youth. The CAFAP are a specialized support service for families with children and youth. Through a exploratory study, based on interviews (focus group and individual) to CAFAP technicians, we aimed to understand the role of those Centers, in the intervention with single parent families, in parental conflict situations, and what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of that intervention. The results suggest, regarding parental conflict, that there are different types (conflicts related and non-related to parenting), enhancing and protective factors, and impacts on children and youth. There seems to be a growing relevance and need for CAFAP intervention, with single parent families, in parental conflict situation, and diverse factors interfering on the results. On the other hand, the SWOT analysis results suggest the existence of threats, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, in that intervention. State and family play a crucial role in the promotion of the welfare and development of children and youth, and the results of the study suggest the need for cohesive implicit and explicit family policies.
