As expectativas dos pais acerca da Psicoterapia com crianças e adolescentes são extremamente importantes para o envolvimento de ambos na primeira, dado serem os pais quem decide, geralmente, iniciar e continuar a Psicoterapia. A forma como as expectativas parentais impactam variáveis relativas ao processo e ao resultado da Psicoterapia infantojuvenil tem sido alvo de diversos estudos, assim como a relação entre essas expectativas e diversas caraterísticas dos pais e dos filhos. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as expectativas parentais acerca da Psicoterapia infantojuvenil, através de uma medida construída para o efeito, e analisar a relação entre essas expectativas e as caraterísticas dos pais e dos filhos.
Participaram neste estudo 133 mães e 97 pais com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 74 anos. A avaliação das expectativas dos pais e as caraterísticas destes e dos filhos foi feita através do Questionário de Expectativas Parentais acerca da Psicoterapia Infantojuvenil (QEPPI) e uma Folha de Informação Geral, completados pelos pais.
A análise dos resultados revela que: 1) o QEPPI é uma medida internamente consistente composta por duas componentes que avaliam as expectativas parentais, 2) a maioria dos pais tem expectativas elevadas e/ou precisas relativamente à Psicoterapia infantojuvenil, 3) existe uma relação significativa entre expectativas mais elevadas e/ou precisas, o sexo e nível sociocultural dos pais, e a idade, sexo e acompanhamento psicológico dos filhos, mas não entre as expectativas e a idade, etnia e o acompanhamento psicológico dos pais.
Os resultados sugerem que o QEPPI é uma boa medida das expectativas parentais, a ser aplicada no decurso da Psicoterapia infantojuvenil, de forma a identificar e intervir sobre as expectativas dos pais. Sugerem também que os pais, na generalidade, são bastante conhecedores da Psicoterapia infantojuvenil, não obstante em alguns grupos de pais esse conhecimento ser ainda maior.
Typically, parents decide to initiate and continue Child Psychotherapy. Thus, Parents’ Expectancies about Child Psychotherapy are of primary importance regarding the parents and the child involvement in the first one. Previous research on parents’ expectations has focused on the relation between parents’ expectancies and the therapy process and outcome, as well as between parents’ expectancies and several parent and child characteristics. The present study aims to characterize parents’ expectancies about child psychotherapy by means of the development of a new measure of parents’ expectancies, and examine the relation between parents’ expectancies and parent and child characteristics. One hundred and thirty parents (133 mothers and 97 fathers) aged between 19 and 74 participated in this study. To evaluate the parents’ expectations, and the relation between those expectancies and parent and child characteristics, parents completed the Questionário de Expectativas Parentais acerca da Psicoterapia Infantojuvenil (QEPPI) and a General Information Sheet. The results indicated that the QEPPI is a internally consistent measure composed of two components that measure parents’ expectancies of child psychotherapy, 2) most of the parents have high and/or accurate expectancies of Child Psychotherapy; 3) Higher and/or more accurate expectancies are related to parent age, gender and educational status, as well as related to child age, gender and therapy attendance record, but not related to child age, ethnicity and therapy attendance record. The results suggest that the QEPPI is a good measure of parents’ expectancies that should be applied over the course of the Child Psychotherapy to identify and intervene on parents’ expectancies. The results also suggest that, in general, parents are quite knowledgeable about child psychotherapy, although in some parents’ groups the knowledge was found to be even bigger.
