Abstract(s)
A presente investigação pretendeu compreender os eventuais contributos dos programas de educação parental face às famílias multidesafiadas em contexto de intervenção, num Centro de Apoio Familiar e Aconselhamento Parental (CAFAP), sendo que para a concretização deste objetivo partiu-se de uma questão norteadora que serviu de base a esta investigação: De que forma os programas de educação parental influenciam as dinâmicas de vida das famílias multidesafiadas?. Assim, foram estabelecidos os seguintes objetivos específicos: a) analisar as perceções das famílias multidesafiadas e das técnicas face aos programas de educação parental; b) identificar forças e fraquezas dos programas de educação parental. Para este feito, recorreu-se a uma estratégia de investigação qualitativa, baseada na recolha de narrativas, produzidas pelas entrevistadas e também a uma análise documental, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e apreciação reflexiva dos processos individuais das famílias. Os resultados evidenciam que, a perceção das famílias face aos programas e à intervenção técnica foi reconhecida e valorizada como importante e transformadora, permitindo afirmar que em todos os casos expostos, existiram efetivamente alterações nas práticas parentais e consequentemente nas dinâmicas familiares. No que respeita à perspetiva da equipa técnica, confirma-se a importância da intervenção para a resolução das problemáticas responsáveis pela sinalização e posterior mudança, das famílias. Na fase inicial dos programas é comum a manifestação de desconforto e desconfiança por parte das famílias, em virtude de uma compreensão limitada sobre o papel da equipa técnica. No entanto, ao longo do tempo, desenvolve-se uma relação de proximidade e confiança. Em relação aos contributos, verificou-se que as estratégias aplicadas nos três programas analisados são bastante semelhantes, ainda que adaptadas conforme a faixa etária das crianças, pelo que, em todos os casos, o objetivo principal destes programas se alicerça na promoção e/ou melhoria das competências parentais, tal como indicam também os resultados deste estudo.
The present research aimed to understand the potential contributions of parental education programmes for multi-challenged families in an intervention context, specifically within a Family Support and Parental Counselling Centre (CAFAP). To achieve this goal, a guiding question was formulated, which served as the foundation of this research: How do parental education programmes influence the life dynamics of multi-challenged families? Accordingly, the following specific objectives were established: a) to analyse the perceptions of multi-challenged families and professionals regarding parental education programmes; b) to identify the strengths and weaknesses of parental education programmes. To this end, a qualitative research strategy was employed, based on the collection of narratives provided by interviewees and a documentary analysis through a bibliographic review and reflective evaluation of the individual family processes. The results show that the families’ perception of the programmes and technical intervention was recognised and valued as important and transformative, allowing us to assert that in all the cases presented, there were indeed changes in parenting practices and consequently in family dynamics. From the perspective of the technical team, the importance of the intervention in addressing the issues that led to the families’ referral and subsequent change is confirmed. In the initial phase of the programmes, it is common for families to express discomfort and distrust due to a limited understanding of the role of the technical team. However, over time, a relationship of closeness and trust develops. In terms of contributions, the strategies applied in the three programmes analysed are quite similar, although adapted according to the children's age group. In all cases, the main goal of these programmes is to promote and/or improve parenting skills, as the results of this study also indicate.
