Abstract(s)
A caracterização das famílias acompanhadas pelo serviço de intervenção precoce na
Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM) é importante para conhecer as fragilidades das
famílias que têm crianças com necessidades educativas especiais a seu cargo
acompanhadas pelo Centro de Recursos Educativos Especializados de Intervenção
Precoce na Infância (CREE IPI). Este estudo tem o objetivo de contribuir com
informação que permita compreender melhor o estado psicológico dessas famílias.
Resiliência familiar, Exaustão parental e Funcionamento familiar são conceitos
proeminentes que impactam as relações familiares, suscitando a cada membro da
família estratégias de coping que se revelem eficazes para enfrentar o exercício da
parentalidade e outros problemas familiares, pelo que é necessário, dotar as famílias
acompanhadas no CREE IPI de ferramentas que ajudem a prevenir a exaustão parental
promovendo resiliência familiar e bom funcionamento familiar. O objetivo é
caracterizar famílias acompanhadas pelo serviço de intervenção precoce na RAM
através da análise das relações entre os níveis de resiliência familiar, exaustão parental e
funcionamento familiar, estudando o papel de variáveis sociodemográficas dos pais e
dos filhos acompanhados pelo serviço. A amostra é constituída por 127 pais e mães de
crianças com necessidades educativas especiais residentes na ilha da Madeira com
idades compreendidas entre os 23 e os 51 anos de idade que recebem apoio e
acompanhamento do serviço regional de intervenção precoce na infância aos quais
foram administrados a versão portuguesa da escala Walsh Family Resilience
Questionnaire-WFRQ, o Questionário de avaliação da exaustão parental –QAEP
traduzido e adaptado do original Parental Burnout Assessment – PBA e a versão de 15
itens do Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation: SCORE-15 validada para a
população portuguesa. Os resultados indicam que as famílias apresentam níveis
considerados médios e baixos nas dimensões da resiliência familiar e nas dimensões da
exaustão parental, e níveis considerados altos e baixos nas dimensões do funcionamento
familiar. Nesta população foram encontradas correlações fracas, moderadas e fortes com
significância estatística entre os conceitos de resiliência familiar, exaustão parental e
funcionamento familiar, e foram encontradas correlações fracas e moderadas com
significância estatística entre as dimensões das escalas de avaliação da resiliência
familiar, exaustão parental, funcionamento familiar e variáveis sociodemográficas dos
pais e dos filhos. O sistema de crenças familiares e o nível de escolaridade dos pais
predizem significativamente o funcionamento familiar e foram encontradas diferenças
com significância estatística entre grupos das variáveis sociodemográficas dos pais nas
dimensões da resiliência familiar e do funcionamento familiar. Estes resultados revelam
dados importantes para compreender melhor o estado psicológico das famílias
acompanhadas pelo serviço de intervenção precoce na infância na RAM e podem ser
um contributo no âmbito de eventuais reajustamentos de intervenções adicionais. No
entanto, estudos mais abrangentes são recomendados em futuras investigações.
The characterization of families supported by the early intervention service in the Autonomous Region of Madeira (RAM) is important to understand the weaknesses of families who have children with special educational needs in their care, supported by the Specialized Educational Resources Center for Early Childhood Intervention (CREE IPI). This study aims to contribute information that allows us to better understand the psychological state of these families. Family resilience, parental burnout and family functioning are prominent concepts that impact family relationships, providing each family member with coping strategies that prove effective in dealing with the exercise of parenting and other family problems. Therefore, it is necessary to provide families supported by CREE IPI with tools that help prevent parental burnout, promoting family resilience and good family functioning. The objective is to characterize families accompanied by the early intervention service in RAM through the analysis of the relationships between the levels of family resilience, parental burnout and family functioning, studying the role of sociodemographic variables of parents and children accompanied by the service. The sample consists of 127 fathers and mothers of children with special educational needs living on the island of Madeira, aged between 23 and 51 years old, who receive support and monitoring from the regional early childhood intervention service, and were administered the Portuguese version of the Walsh Family Resilience Questionnaire-WFRQ, the Parental Burnout Assessment Questionnaire - QAEP translated and adapted from the original Parental Burnout Assessment - PBA and the 15-item version of the Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation: SCORE-15 validated for the Portuguese population. The results indicate that families’ present levels considered medium and low in the dimensions of family resilience and parental burnout, and levels considered high and low in the dimensions of family functioning. In this population, weak, moderate and strong correlations with statistical significance were found between the concepts of family resilience, parental exhaustion and family functioning, and weak and moderate correlations with statistical significance were found between the dimensions of the family resilience, parental burnout and family functioning assessment scales and sociodemographic variables of parents and children. The family belief system and parental education level significantly predict family functioning, and statistically significant differences were found between groups in parental sociodemographic variables in the dimensions of family resilience and family functioning. These results reveal important data to better understand the psychological state of families monitored by the early childhood intervention service in the RAM and may be a contribution to possible readjustments of additional interventions. However, more comprehensive studies are recommended in future research.
