Abstract(s)
Numa época de globalização o movimento em massa de pessoas vulneráveis tem adquirido
uma nova complexidade. A população refugiada encontra-se em condições extremamente
vulneráveis, pois a sua jornada até aos países de acolhimento implica ultrapassar um número
significativo de adversidades em diferentes dimensões de vida. Contudo, no momento de
chegada ao “porto seguro” esta população-alvo é confrontada com novos obstáculos que têm
um impacto ainda mais significativo no seu bem-estar a longo prazo. Simultaneamente os
sistemas de saúde próprios dos países de acolhimento enfrentam dificuldades consideráveis na
prestação de serviços adaptados às necessidades da população refugiada. Devido a esta
realidade surgiu a iniciativa de desenvolver um programa preventivo dirigido à populaçãorefugiada,
com o objetivo de combater lacunas existentes. O presente estudo qualitativo
pretende avaliar o processo de desenvolvimento do programa Families who love and care for
each other, o seu processo de implementação e a perceção dos intervenientes em relação ao
seu funcionamento e impacto na vida dos participantes. A amostra é constituída por 10
profissionais especializados em Migrações e Saúde, bem como seis famílias refugiadas da
Síria, Irão e Eritreia. Recorreu-se a guiões de entrevista não estruturadas para recolha de dados
relativamente à primeira fase de análise sobre o processo do desenvolvimento do programa, e
a questionários semiestruturados e registos de observação para recolha de dados relativamente
à segunda fase de análise sobre a perceção dos intervenientes em relação ao funcionamento e
impacto do programa. A análise de dados qualitativos foi realizada através dos procedimentos
de análise temática e com recurso ao software MAX-QDA, enquanto os dados quantitativos
foram analisados com recurso à estatística descritiva. Os resultados identificaram quatro
aspetos principais a ter em conta no desenvolvimento do programa: considerações particulares
(e.g., questões culturais, educacionais e linguísticas), papel dos intervenientes, relação entre
intervenientes e gestão do programa. O programa correspondeu bem às necessidades
manifestadas pela população refugiada, sendo que a perceção dos intervenientes em relação ao
funcionamento e impacto do programa foi bastante positiva. Por fim apresentam-se as
contribuições teóricas e práticas do estudo, bem como as suas limitações e considerações sobre
a investigação futura.
In the era of globalization, the mass movement of vulnerable people has taken on a new complexity. The refugee population found to be in extremely vulnerable conditions as their journey until to the host countries involves overcoming a significant number of adversities in different dimensions of life. However, upon arrival at the 'safe harbor' this population is confronted with new obstacles that have an even more significant impact on their long-term well-being. At the same time, the host countries' own health systems face considerable difficulties in providing services tailored to the needs of the refugee population. Due to this reality emerged an initiative to develop a preventive program directed to the population of refugees, with the aim of tackling existing gaps. This qualitative study intends to evaluate the process of development of Families who love and care for each other program, its implementation process and the perception of the interveners in terms of its functioning and impact on the participants’ lives. The sample consists of 10 professionals specialized in Migration and Health as well of six refugee families from Syria, Iran and Eritrea. Unstructured data collection interview guides were used for the first phase analysis of the program development process, and semi-structured questionnaires and observation logs for data collection for the second phase analysis of the interveners’ perception regarding to functioning and impact of the program. Qualitative data analysis was performed by using the thematic analysis procedures with the support of the MAX-QDA software, while quantitative data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The results identified four main aspects to take into account in the program development: particular considerations (e.g., cultural, educational and language issues), role of interveners, relationship between interveners and program management. The program responded well to the needs expressed by the refugee population, and interveners’ perception of the program’s functioning and impact was very positive. Finally, we present the theoretical and practical contributions of the study, as well as its limitations and considerations about future research
