Abstract(s)
Os conflitos interparentais decorrentes da separação conjugal são uma causa de desajustamento na vida familiar quer para os adultos envolvidos quer para os seus filhos, com consequências graves que se prologam no tempo, em muitos dos casos. A intervenção atempada e adequada ao caso pode evitar o prolongamento do conflito no tempo e gerar condições para uma coparentalidade cooperante com ambos os progenitores envolvidos, interagindo entre si para promover o bem-estar e desenvolvimento dos filhos, sem conflitos, aumentando assim a perceção de segurança e ajustamento destes. Em Portugal, essa intervenção é assegurada pelos Pontos de Encontro Familiar (PEF) a funcionar há cerca de dois anos.
Este estudo, de cariz qualitativo e exploratório, pretende fazer a análise das perceções dos técnicos sobre as caraterísticas, eficácia da sua prática e reflexões sobre a mesma no sentido de melhorar uma intervenção que é fundamental porquanto é a única mandatada judicialmente em Portugal. Participaram no estudo dezassete técnicos de PEF, de formações diversificadas, com idades entre os 26 e os 50 anos, através da participação em dois focus groups e nove entrevistas individuais. Os dados foram analisados através dos procedimentos da Análise Temática, e com recurso ao software Nvivo. Os resultados apontam que, apesar de muito ter sido feito nestes dois anos e de os técnicos terem a perceção da importância do seu papel, há muito a melhorar para que a intervenção seja mais eficaz. Apresentam-se as implicações para a prática, bem como para a investigação futura, com base na reflexão acerca das limitações do estudo.
Interparental conflicts arising from marital separation are a cause of maladjustment in the family life, both for the adults involved and for their children, with serious consequences that persist in time, in many cases. Timely and appropriate intervention can avoid its prolongation and generate conditions for cooperative co-parenting with both parents involved, interacting with each other to promote the well-being and development, without conflict, thus increasing the perception of safety and adjustment. In Portugal, this intervention is ensured by the Family Meeting Points that have been in operation for about two years. This qualitative and exploratory study intends to analyze the professionals’ perception about the characteristics, effectiveness of their practice and reflections on the same in order to improve an intervention that is fundamental since it is the only one mandated judicially in Portugal. Seventeen technicians, from Family Meeting Points, from diverse backgrounds, aged between 26 and 50, participated in the study through participation in two focus groups and nine individual interviews. The data were analyzed through the procedures of the Thematic Analysis, using Nvivo software. The results show that, although much has been done in these two years and that professionals are aware of the importance of their role, there is much that can be improved to make the intervention more effective. Implications for practice, as well as for future research, are presented, based on the reflection on the limitations of the study.
