Resumo(s)
Ao iniciar um processo terapêutico, o sujeito leva à partida determinadas expectativas que espera ver concretizadas no decurso do mesmo. No caso do acompanhamento psicológico de um adolescente, apesar de ser este o cliente, são os pais quem determina o início, a manutenção e o fim da presença dos jovens em sessão. Nesse sentido, o objectivo principal do presente estudo visa avaliar as expectativas que os pais têm sobre o acompanhamento psicológico dos seus filhos adolescentes.
Dada a necessidade de investigação na área e as limitações apresentadas por alguns autores (e.g. Bickman et. al, 2007; Stewart, 2008), construiu-se um questionário que assenta nas definições de ―Expectativas sobre o Papel‖ e ―Expectativas de Processo‖. O Questionário de Expectativas Parentais - QEP foi disponibilizado em versão papel e numa plataforma online, tendo sido distribuído a nível nacional. Posteriormente construiu-se uma base de dados que foi analisada com recurso ao programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 17.0.
Os resultados obtidos apresentaram um alfa de Cronbach de 0,80 para a Escala de Expectativas sobre o Papel e 0,53 na Escala de Expectativas sobre o Processo. Para ambas as escalas foram verificadas as correlações Item-Total e posteriormente foi verificada a correlação entre ambas (r Pearson = 0,45; significativo p<0,01).
Posteriormente, foram analisadas as consequências dos resultados obtidos, discutidas limitações do estudo e feitas várias considerações metodológicas.
Por fim, são apresentadas as implicações dos resultados para a prática clínica e sugerem-se possíveis linhas de investigação tendo como ponto de partida o presente estudo.
When starting a therapeutic process, the subject takes beforehand certain expectations he expects to see fulfilled during the process. In the case of adolescent’s psychological counseling, despite being the clients, parents are the ones who determine the onset, maintenance and end of the therapeutic process for the youngster. In this sense, the main goal of this study was to evaluate expectations that parents might have about the psychological counseling of their teens. Given the recent need for research in the area and the perceived limitations in the existing research studies disclosed by some authors (e.g. Bickman et. al, 2007; Stewart, 2008) a questionnaire was built based on the definitions of "Role Expectations" and "Process/Outcome Expectations". The Parental Expectations Questionnaire - QEP was released in paper version and online plataform and distributed nationally. Later, a database was constructed which was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17.0. The results showed a Cronbach alpha of 0,80 for the scale "Role Expectations" and 0,53 for "Process/Outcome Expectations" Scale. For both scales Item-Total correlations were analyzed and significant correlation between the scales was found (Pearson r = 0.45, significant p <0,01). We have further analyzed the consequences of the results, discussed limitations of the study and made several methodological considerations. Finally, we have analyzed the implications of the findings for clinical practice and possible lines of investigation are suggested based on the current study as its starting point.
