Abstract(s)
O presente estudo foca duas dimensões - stresse parental e o perfil de funcionalidade/incapacidade em crianças com atraso de desenvolvimento e/ou patologias associadas. Participaram 90 mães de crianças com idades entre os 6 e os 86 meses, apoiadas pelas Equipas Locais de Intervenção Precoce da zona de Setúbal. Pretendeu-se: (1) caraterizar os níveis de stresse das mães; (2) caraterizar o Perfil de Funcionalidade/Incapacidade (PF/I) das crianças acima referidas; (3) verificar a relação entre os níveis de Stresse Parental e o PF/I das crianças da amostra; (4) verificar a associação entre os níveis de stresse parental e diversas variáveis sociodemográficas da família. Para avaliar o stresse parental utilizou-se o PSI-SF (Abidin, 1990) - Índice de Stresse Parental (ISP) - versão reduzida e o Abilities Índex (Simeonsson & Bailey, 1991) - Índice de Capacidades (IC), para avaliar o PF/I das crianças. Os resultados mostram que as mães das crianças do presente estudo, experimentam níveis elevados e muito elevados de stresse parental em todas as subescalas. Verificaram-se correlações significativas entre o stresse parental e as variáveis sociodemográficas relativas à criança e à família (idade da criança, idade, habilitações e situação profissional das mães, subsídios do Estado, estatuto socioeconómico). Contrariamente ao que seria de esperar, o valor global do perfil de incapacidade situa-se no intervalo correspondente a um perfil normal. Verificam-se também correlações significativas para as subescalas interação mãe/criança, comportamento da criança e ISP total, com alguns domínios do IC. Os resultados sugerem uma atenção particular e medidas de intervenção específicas, com forte componente de apoio social, para o grupo estudado, considerando os valores muito elevados de stresse parental experimentado por este grupo de mães e sua associação a fatores de ordem socioeconómica e considerando ainda as suas potenciais e implicações como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento dos seus filhos.
This study focuses on two dimensions - Parental Stress and Ability/ Inability Profile of children with developmental delays and/or diagnosed pathologies. Ninety mothers of children aged 6 to 86 months, supported by the Local Early Intervention Teams of Setúbal participated in this study. The goals were: (1) characterize mother’s stress levels; (2) characterize Ability/Disability Profile of their children (PF/I); (3) explore the relationship between levels of Parental Stress and Ability/Inability Profile, (4) explore the association between levels of parental stress and family socio demographic variables. To assess parental stress we used PSI-SF (Abidin, 1990).The Abilities Index (AI) (Simeonsson & Bailey, 1991) was used to assess children’s functionality profile (Ability/Disability). The results show us that mothers included in this group experienced high levels of parental stress in all subscales. There were significant correlations between parental stress and sociodemographic variables related to child and family (age of child, age, qualifications and employment status of mothers, state grants, socioeconomic status). An unexpected finding was that the overall profile of functionality lies within a range corresponding to a normal profile. There are also significant correlations for the PSI subscales: Mother/child dysfunctional interaction, Difficult child and Total ISP score, with some domains of the AI. Results suggest close monitorization and specific intervention measures, with a strong social support component, taking into account the very high levels of parental stress experienced by this group of mothers and its association to socioeconomic factors and considering its potential risk and harmful implications for the development of their children.
