Resumo
A parentalidade é a tarefa mais desafiante da vida, uma vez que estimula à criação de papéis parentais com vista a satisfazer as necessidades básicas de uma criança/jovem e potencializar um desenvolvimento normativo. Quando o papel parental é colocado em causa, exige uma intervenção dos serviços de proteção, sendo reconhecida a dificuldade dos profissionais envolvidos em intervir e tomar decisões relativas à família. Nesta sequência e, assumindo que a tomada de decisão tem implicações para a intervenção e para o ajustamento das famílias e crianças/jovens envolvidos, torna-se imperativo compreender quais os fatores que influenciam este processo. O presente estudo teve como principais objetivos analisar as perceções e atitudes dos profissionais sobre a parentalidade e o desenvolvimento das crianças/jovens em contextos de risco/perigo, bem como explorar as perceções acerca do papel do Sistema de Promoção e Proteção no ajustamento individual e familiar nestes contextos. A amostra foi constituída por 20 profissionais (85% do sexo feminino) integrados em Comissões de Proteção de Crianças e Jovens da zona norte do país, com idades compreendidas entre os 29 aos 55 anos de idade (M = 43.45; DP = 7.92). O protocolo de instrumentos administrados incluiu um questionário sociodemográfico e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados recolhidos foram analisados de acordo com a análise temática com o recurso ao software de investigação qualitativa QSR Nvivo12. Os resultados permitiram conhecer a perspetiva dos profissionais sobre a parentalidade, bem como da relevância do apoio social e das instâncias formais neste ajuste da parentalidade, contribuindo para a necessidade de existir um maior aprofundamento das dimensões consideradas importantes para assegurar e promover o superior interesse da criança/jovem.
