Abstract(s)
A transição para a vida adulta é um marco importante na vida de qualquer sujeito e,
entre outros desafios, implica a entrada no mundo do trabalho. Obter o primeiro emprego é uma
tarefa árdua para todos, mas torna-se ainda mais difícil para a população com incapacidade
intelectual, pois ainda existem barreiras no meio e preconceitos que não foram ultrapassados.
Tendo em conta que as habilidades sociais e socioprofissionais têm sido cada vez mais
valorizadas neste contexto, torna-se fundamental desenvolvê-las também junto desta
população, de forma a aumentar a probabilidade de iniciarem a prática laboral. Posto isto, o
presente estudo visa perceber se o programa de intervenção “Sou Capaz – Programa de
Desenvolvimento de Habilidades Socioprofissionais” promove melhorias nas habilidades
socioprofissionais destes sujeitos, e se essas melhorias se mantêm ao longo do tempo. Assim
sendo, constitui-se uma amostra de 10 sujeitos institucionalizados numa IPSS do Funchal. Esta
investigação pressupõe um estudo de caso do tipo descritivo, recorrendo a uma abordagem
quantitativa, no qual se utilizou a metodologia multiple probe design. Foram aplicados dois
instrumentos: o Inventário de Habilidades Sociais (IHS) numa forma adaptada, e o Registo de
Observação de Habilidades Sociais Profissionais (ROHSP). Os resultados obtidos apontam para
uma evolução após a aplicação do programa, em algumas habilidades socioprofissionais
avaliadas, registando-se dificuldades na manutenção das aquisições. Conclui-se, portanto, que
é necessário continuar a apostar na reflexão sobre a arquitetura de programas psicoeducativos
para a população com incapacidade intelectual, tendo por base a evidência científica decorrente
da investigação a este respeito.
The transition to adulthood is an important moment in the life of any individual and, among other challenges, it implies the enter on the labour market. Getting the first job is an arduous task for everyone, but it becomes even more difficult for the population with intellectual disability, because there are still organizational barriers and prejudice to overcome. Considering that social and socio-professional skills have been increasingly valued in this context, it is critical to develop them with this population, to increase their probability of starting a career at work. Thus, the present study aims to examine whether the intervention program "Sou Capaz – Socio-professional Skills Development Program" promotes the improvement of the socio-professional skills of these individuals, and if these improvements can persist over time. In the current study, a sample of 10 subjects institutionalized in a PISS of Funchal was used. This research was developed following a descriptive case study research plan, using a quantitative approach and a multiple probe design methodology. Two instruments were implemented in order to study the program impact: the Social Skills Inventory (SSI) in an adapted form, and the Professional Social Skills Observation System (PSSOS). The results have shown that the program has contributed to some of the evolution after the intervention, in some socio-professional skills evaluated, still follow up assessments have shown that some of the improvements did not have persisted over time. Therefore, one of the main conclusions is that it is imperative to reflect and optimize the structure of psychoeducational programs for the population with intellectual disability, relying on scientific evidence.
