Abstract(s)
O acolhimento residencial de crianças e jovens surge como resposta de proteção para
aqueles/as que vivem em contextos familiares caracterizados por vivências de
adversidade. Viver adversidade continuada e precoce tem impacto no desenvolvimento
e bem-estar de crianças e jovens, e nas representações que constroem sobre o que é ser
família e casal. O presente estudo teve como objetivos analisar os significados
atribuídos por jovens em acolhimento residencial acerca do que é família e
namoro/conjugalidade, identificando também as suas expectativas sobre futuras
relações conjugais e familiares. Foi adotada uma metodologia qualitativa, com base em
oito entrevistas individuais e presenciais (N=8; M= 17 anos; DP= 1.60). As entrevistas
foram realizadas e analisadas seguindo a Análise Fenomenológica Interpretativa. Os
resultados sugerem que os/as jovens perspetivam namoro/conjugalidade e família como
configurações relacionais marcadas por suporte e reciprocidade, desejando construir
futuros relacionamentos baseados nesses alicerces. Estas conceções e expetativas
futuras foram atribuídas às suas próprias experiências/vivências (e.g., família, amigos).
Esta investigação é relevante e inovadora na medida em que contribui para enriquecer
a literatura empírica e para promover uma compreensão mais sistémica e holística da
visão dos/as jovens sobre estes temas. Este estudo poderá contribuir para redirecionar
o foco dos processos de intervenção psicoterapêutica e ser útil na promoção de
programas de prevenção.
Residential care for children and young people emerges as a protective response for those living in family contexts characterized by experiences of adversity. Experiencing continued and early adversity impacts the development and well-being of children and young people and influences the representations they construct about what it means to be a family and a couple. The present study aimed to analyse the meanings attributed by young people in residential care regarding what family and dating/coupling mean, also identifying their expectations about future conjugal and family relationships. A qualitative methodology was adopted, based on eight individual, face-to-face interviews (N=8; M= 17 years; SD= 1.60). The interviews were conducted and analysed following Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results suggest that young people perceive dating/coupling and family as relational configurations marked by support and reciprocity, desiring to build future relationships based on these foundations. These conceptions and future expectations were attributed to their own experiences (e.g., family, friends). This research is relevant and innovative as it contributes to enriching the empirical literature and promoting a more systemic and holistic understanding of young people's views on these topics. This study could help redirect the focus of psychotherapeutic intervention processes and be useful in promoting prevention programs.
