Resumo(s)
A associação entre a desvantagem económica e social e dificuldades ao nível da parentalidade tem sido, recorrentemente, identificada pela literatura. Todavia, intervir ao nível das cognições parentais, tem-se mostrado relevante no aumento da prontidão, envolvimento e sucesso das intervenções. O presente estudo, procurou compreender a relação entre variáveis parentais cognitivas (i.e., atribuições parentais e funcionamento reflexivo), a motivação parental para a mudança e as expetativas e perceção dos técnicos sobre a evolução das famílias em contextos de desvantagem económica e social. A amostra compreendeu 65 cuidadores sinalizados por parentalidade de risco, com pelo menos um filho com idades compreendidas entre 1 e 17 anos de idade, e 43 técnicos gestores dos processos das famílias que participaram. No que concerne a instrumentos, utilizou-se um Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Questionário de Funcionamento Reflexivo Parental, o Parent Cognition Scale – PCS, o Parent Readiness for Change Scale – PRFCS, o Parent Motivation Inventory – PMI, e uma escala sobre Expetativas e Perceção dos Técnicos sobre a Evolução das Famílias. Os resultados demonstraram uma associação positiva entre as atribuições parentais disfuncionais e a motivação parental para a mudança; entre as atribuições parentais disfuncionais e a pré-mentalização; e um efeito mediador das atribuições parentais disfuncionais com foco na responsabilidade da criança na relação entre a pré-mentalização e a motivação parental para a mudança do comportamento do filho. Como implicações para a prática clínica, reforça-se a importância de agir ao nível das variáveis parentais cognitivas aquando do planeamento e implementação de programas de intervenção na parentalidade com esta população.
The association between social and economic disadvantage and difficulties in parenthood has been, recurrently, identified in literature. However, intervention in parental cognitions has been shown to be relevant in increasing the readiness, involvement and success of interventions. The present study sought to understand the relationship between cognitive parental variables (such as parental attribution and parental reflective functioning), parental motivation for change and the expectations and perceptions of the technicians on the evolution of families in contexts of economic and social disadvantage. The sample comprised 65 caregivers who were signaled by risk parenting, with at least one child aged between 1 and 17 years old, and 43 technicians case managers of the families that have participated. The instruments used involved a Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Parental Reflexive Functional Questionnaire, the Parent Cognition Scale - PCS, the Parent Readiness for Change Scale - PRFCS, the Parent Motivation Inventory - PMI, and a Scale about the technicians’ Expectations and Perceptions of the Evolution of Families. The results demonstrated a positive association between dysfunctional parental attributions and parental motivation for change; between dysfunctional parental attributions and pre-mentalizing; and a mediating effect of dysfunctional childresponsible attributions in the relationship between pre-mentalizing and parental motivation to change of the child’s behavior. Implications for clinical practice include the importance of intervening on cognitive parental variables when planning and implementing intervention programs in parenting, in order to maximize results of interventions with this population.
