Abstract(s)
A importância do estudo da adolescência prende-se com o facto de cada vez
mais se estar a adoptar a perspectiva, de que para além de um período de grandes
mudanças e factores de risco, este também é um período de grandes oportunidades de
desenvolvimento. Será importante, então, estudar os factores que mais se podem
correlacionar com o desenvolvimento saudável dos adolescentes e com um maior nível
de bem-estar nos mesmos. Dotar os jovens de ferramentas e competências que lhes
permitam ultrapassar as dificuldades e prosseguirem um percurso pessoal e social
eficaz, deverá ser uma preocupação de todos os que trabalham com esta faixa etária.
O presente estudo procura então avaliar a relação entre a promoção de
competências pessoais e sociais de forma prolongada no tempo e o nível de bem-estar
psicológico em jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 19 anos. Este estudo
foi dirigido a jovens de risco, provenientes de um meio em risco de exclusão social,
onde são muitos os factores de risco a que estão sujeitos. Comparou-se jovens que
usufruíram de promoção de competências pessoais e sociais através de actividades
semi-estruturadas, adaptadas aos jovens e às suas necessidades, decorridas num Espaço
Jovem de uma IPSS (Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social) e jovens da mesma
comunidade que não usufruíram desta intervenção.
Utilizando a Escala de Avaliação do Bem-Estar Psicológico na Adolescência
(EBEPA), verificou-se que os jovens que usufruíram destas actividades apresentaram
níveis de bem-estar psicológico global mais elevados do que jovens que não usufruem
do mesmo tipo de intervenção promocional. Jovens com mais competências pessoais e
sociais parecem registar então maiores níveis de bem-estar psicológico.
