Abstract(s)
A aliança de trabalho é uma ferramenta crucial que possibilita alterações cognitivas e comportamentais estáveis e positivas. Em contexto forense, apesar da menor predisposição para a colaboração com os profissionais, a aliança é um pré-requisito para a reintegração social e prevenção da reincidência criminal. Aliado a este conceito surge a motivação para a mudança, uma vez que o estabelecimento de uma relação de apoio entre o profissional e o ofensor aumenta a motivação para a alteração dos comportamentos desviantes. No contexto do Sistema Tutelar Educativo, em Portugal, existe uma lacuna nos estudos científicos desenvolvidos com jovens delinquentes que explorem a qualidade da aliança de trabalho, a sua motivação para a mudança e a associação entre ambas. Assim, o presente estudo apresenta como questão de investigação: “Será que existe associação entre a qualidade da aliança de trabalho e a motivação para a mudança em jovens delinquentes?”. A amostra da investigação foi constituída por 23 jovens (12 do sexo feminino e 11 do sexo masculino), com idades compreendidas entre os 13 e os 18 anos, a cumprir Medida Tutelar Educativa (MTE) num Centro Educativo (CE) da região de Lisboa. A aliança de trabalho foi avaliada através do Inventário da Aliança Terapêutica (IAT) e do Working Alliance Inventory for Children and Adolescents (WAI-CA). A motivação para a mudança foi analisada através da University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). Para avaliar o nível de satisfação do jovem com uma sessão de acompanhamento foi utilizada a Session Rating Scale (SRS). De acordo com os resultados desta investigação, comprova-se que quando os valores da qualidade da aliança de trabalho com o técnico aumentam, a motivação para a mudança também aumenta. Em específico, os resultados demonstram que os indicadores da motivação para a mudança aumentam, consoante aumentam determinados aspetos da qualidade da relação com o técnico (e.g., vínculo). Relativamente à idade dos participantes, não foi encontrada uma associação com ambas as variáveis. Por fim, à medida que o tempo de acompanhamento aumenta, diminui a concordância com as tarefas propostas.
The working alliance is a crucial tool that allows for positive and stable cognitive and behavioral changes. In the forensic context, despite there being a minor predisposition for collaboration with professionals, the alliance is a prerequisite for social reinstatement and prevention of criminal recidivism. Combined with this concept, there is a motivation for change since the establishment of a relationship of support between the professional and the offender increases the motivation for change in deviant behaviors. In the context of the juvenile justice system, in Portugal, there is a gap in the scientific studies developed with delinquent youth that explore the quality of the working alliance, its motivation for chance and the association between both. Therefore, the present study presents the following question: "Is there an association between the quality of the working alliance and the motivation for change in delinquent youth?". The sample of the investigation is constituted of 23 adolescents (12 females and 11 males), with ages between 13 and 18 years, in a juvenile justice facility in Lisbon. The working alliance was evaluated through the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) and the Working Alliance Inventory for Children and Adolescents (WAI-CA). The motivation for change was analyzed through the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). To evaluate the level of satisfaction of the adolescent with a follow-up session, the Session Rating Scale (SRS) was used. The results of the present investigation, demonstrate that when the quality values of the working alliance with the technician increase, the motivation for change also increases. In specific, the results show that the indicators for motivation increase certain quality aspects of the relation with the technician (e.g., bond). About the age of the participants, an association between both variables was not found. Finally, as the follow-up time increases, the agreement with the proposed tasks decreases.
