Abstract(s)
As famílias de crianças com Perturbações do Espectro do Autismo (PEA)
enfrentam ao longo de todo o processo de socialização, inúmeros desafios. Face ao
impacto que a existência de uma criança com PEA pode ter na família e no tipo de
interações que nela se estabelecem, torna-se importante analisar esta temática. Assim,
com este estudo pretendeu-se compreender o modo como decorre o exercício da
parentalidade com crianças com PEA, particularmente se os pais com crianças com
PEA apresentam níveis mais elevados de stress e que fatores contribuem para uma
maior capacidade parental de pais com crianças com PEA.
Para a concretização desta investigação optou-se por um estudo de natureza
mista, recorrendo a técnicas quantitativas e qualitativas. Constituiu-se uma amostra de
10 pais de crianças com PEA para a avaliação qualitativa, incluído numa amostra de 30,
bem como uma amostra de pais 30 sem crianças com o diagnóstico de PEA. No que
concerne aos instrumentos de coleta de dados, utilizámos entrevistas Semi-Estruturadas
e a Escala de Avaliação de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress.
A análise dos resultados qualitativos da nossa amostra permitiu-nos perceber que
não existem diferenças significativas no exercício da Parentalidade entre pais com
crianças com PEA e pais de crianças sem PEA, apenas verificando alguma
particularidade no cuidado como comunicam com os seus filhos. De ressalvar que estes
pais apesar das dificuldades, sempre que há a aceitação e compreensão da problemática
tornam-se mais resilientes ultrapassando deste modo as dificuldades. As médias
resultantes da análise qualitativa corroboram com a literatura, evidenciando maiores
níveis de ansiedade, depressão e stress em pais de crianças com PEA.
