Abstract(s)
Os fluxos migratórios intensificaram-se nas últimas décadas e, consequentemente, o controlo das fronteiras, em particular na Europa, tem-se reforçado. Em Portugal, quando cidadãos são sinalizados pelo Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF) como estando indocumentados ou sem permissão para permanecer no país, são colocados em centros de detenção. Ora, diversos estudos mostram que os cidadãos detidos apresentam com frequência sintomas de stresse pós-traumático, ansiedade, entre outros. O presente estudo pretende caracterizar a população migrante detida, bem como as suas experiências de detenção, mais especificamente o suporte social percebido e o bem-estar psicológico dos cidadãos que se encontram em centros de detenção. Recolheram-se dados junto de 44 indivíduos detidos e, a partir de uma análise quantitativa verificou-se que o suporte social institucional se correlaciona positivamente com o bem-estar; ou seja, quanto maior o suporte que os migrantes sentem receber por parte de profissionais enquanto estão detidos, maior o seu bem-estar psicológico.

In Portugal, when citizens are signalled by the Immigration and Borders Service (SEF – Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras) as being undocumented or without due permission to remain in the country they are placed in detention centers. As a result several studies show that detainees often present post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and other symptoms. The present study aims to characterize the detained migrant population as well as their experiences of detention, more specifically the perceived social support and psychological well-being of citizens in such detention centers. Data collection involved 44 detained individuals and its quantitative analysis made possible to conclude that institutional perceived social support correlates positively with the well-being of detained population; that is, the greater the support that migrants feel they receive from professionals while in detention, the greater their psychological well-being.
