Abstract(s)
Os profissionais da área da proteção à infância são chamados diariamente a avaliar a qualidade
da parentalidade. Sendo um trabalho de caráter multidisciplinar, em que intervêm
simultaneamente profissionais de diferentes áreas de formação, a partilha de referenciais
comuns de avaliação e ponderação da informação é decisiva para a eficácia das intervenções
desenvolvidas, na medida em que potencia a coerência e consistência das mesmas e a coesão
das equipas. Contudo, os critérios de avaliação da parentalidade estão associados não apenas
aos critérios científicos mas também à dinâmica das organizações e à qualidade das
experiências e crenças pessoais relacionados com a parentalidade, a infância e o impacto
desenvolvimental das situações de mau trato infantil. Com o objetivo de verificar se diferentes
áreas de formação académica estavam associadas a posições diferentes acerca de critérios de
avaliação da parentalidade, foi desenvolvido um estudo com 391 profissionais afetos a serviços
de proteção à infância, aos quais se solicitou que se pronunciassem quanto ao grau de
concordância com 50 frases, numa tarefa de decisão forçada (qsort). A análise dos resultados
foi feita através da análise de clusters de resposta utilizando a metodologia Ken-Q Analysis
(v1.0.6) e tendo como referencial a matriz de operacionalização da parentalidade minimamente
adequada. Os resultados relativos aos principais clusters de respostas dos profissionais da área
da Psicologia, Serviço Social e Educação, apontam para a convergência na concordância e
discordância relativamente a critérios associados às implicações desenvolvimentais das
situações de risco. São discutidas as implicações dos resultados quanto a formas de potenciar o
desenvolvimento profissional e a eficácia das intervenções como a aprendizagem
organizacional.
Child protection’ professionals are called daily to assess the quality of parenting. As a work of a multidisciplinary nature, in which workers from different academic backgrounds participate simultaneously, the sharing of common references for the assessment and weighting of information is decisive for the effectiveness of the interventions, as it enhances their coherence and consistency and the cohesion of the teams. However, parenting evaluation are associated not only with scientific criteria but also with the dynamics of organizations and the quality of personal experiences and beliefs related to parenting, childhood and the developmental impact of child abuse situations. Aiming to verify if different academic backgrounds were associated with convergent or different positions about parenting evaluation criteria, a study was carried out with 391 professionals working in child protection services, who were asked to sort the degree of agreement with 50 sentences, in a forced decision task (qsort). The analysis of the results was made through the analysis of response clusters using the Ken-Q Analysis methodology (v1.0.6) and having as a reference the minimally adequate parenting operationalization matrix. The results for the main clusters of responses from professionals in the fields of Psychology, Social Work and Education point to a convergence in agreement and disagreement regarding criteria associated with the developmental implications of risk situations. The implications of the results regarding ways to enhance professional development and the effectiveness of interventions such as organizational learning are discussed.
