O presente estudo tem por objetivo compreender a importância que os adultos têm
na construção de um Projeto de Vida em crianças e jovens institucionalizados. O
Projeto de Vida assume um papel fundamental na vida destas crianças e jovens, uma
vez que é a partir dele que se desenvolve o seu futuro, deste modo a orientação e o
apoio dos adultos presentes na sua vida torna-se imprescindível, desempenhando uma
função determinante nas suas vidas.
Para este estudo, de cariz qualitativo, foram levantadas três questões de pesquisa:
Como se caracteriza a relação entre adultos e crianças de acordo com ambas as
representações; Qual o papel e a importância do adulto durante o percurso no Lar de
Infância e Juventude (LIJ), e por último, o que caracteriza o Plano Socioeducativo
Individual (PSEI) e qual o seu papel no percurso da criança e jovem institucionalizado
(em ambas as perspetivas) com o intuito de atingir o objetivo do mesmo.
Foram realizadas vinte e quatro entrevistas, metade das quais a crianças e jovens
institucionalizados e a outra metade a adultos cuidadores, em quatro zonas geográficas
do país. Tendo em conta o objetivo da investigação procurou-se entrevistar crianças
com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos. No que respeita aos adultos, e de
forma a enriquecer a investigação foram realizadas entrevistas a funcionários com
diferentes cargos nos lares de infância e juventude.
Deste modo, os resultados obtidos nesta investigação tiveram origem na teoria
selecionada e analisada em conjunto com as entrevistas obtidas. Assim, segundo os
resultados obtidos, tanto os jovens como os adultos apresentaram respostas idênticas nas
três questões de pesquisa. Na primeira, foi evidente a existência de uma boa relação
entre os adultos cuidadores e as crianças e jovens institucionalizados. Em relação à
segunda questão os jovens entrevistados valorizaram e elogiaram o papel dos adultos
enquanto seus cuidadores. Por último, na terceira questão de pesquisa, os adultos
cuidadores entrevistados deram especial atenção a esta questão, valorizando e
enaltecendo a importância do PSEI e consequentemente do Projeto de Vida no futuro
destas crianças e jovens institucionalizadas. Em suma, os resultados obtidos foram
bastante positivos e próximos dos esperados.
