Abstract(s)
A parentalidade representa, para muitos, o papel mais satisfatório desempenhado pelo adulto ao mesmo tempo que se torna no desafio mais exigente no seu ciclo de vida devido às exigências, quer emocionais quer físicas, que acarreta. Assim, tornou-se significativo explorar a emocionalidade, as práticas e dimensões parentais caracterizando, ainda, a sua própria perceção de competência, a noção de coparentalidade e as diferenças de papéis entre mãe e pai.
Na presente investigação pretendeu-se analisar o funcionamento parental, mais especificamente ao nível do esgotamento parental e das práticas educativas, dos pais face a crianças com problemas de comportamento. A amostra é constituída por 18 participantes, nomeadamente 9 casais, sendo eles “pais” e “mães” de crianças utentes das consultas externas de pediatria por motivos de problemas de comportamento, indicados para o serviço de psicologia do hospital.
No estudo foi aplicado, a ambos os membros do casal, um protocolo que consistia num questionário sociodemográfico e quatro instrumentos de medida psicológica, nomeadamente a Escala de Sentido de Competência Parental, Escala de stress Parental, Escala de Avaliação das Emoções, Questionário de Coparentalidade e o Questionário de Dimensão e Estilos Parentais.
Os resultados desta investigação constituíram, à sua maneira, mais um contributo para a compreensão dos fatores que influenciam os níveis de stress parental e para maior conhecimento desta temática. Dos resultados obtidos destaca-se a não verificação de diferenças estatisticamente significativas, em função do género, no que respeita ao stress parental, emocionalidade, coparentalidade, estilos parentais e sentido de competência. Porém, devido ao diminuto tamanho da amostra, estes dados não são passiveis de uma generalização. Verificou-se, também, baixos níveis de stress parental, altos níveis de coparentalidade, altos níveis de competência parental, aliados a um estilo maioritariamente autoritativo.
Parenting represents, for most people, the most satisfactory role played by an adult at the same time as it becomes the most demanding challenge in their life cycle due to the demands, either, emotional or physiques, it carries. So, has become significant to explore the emotional reactivity, parenting styles and dimensions, their sense of competence, their notion of co-parentality and the differences of roles between mothers and fathers in this context. In the present research, we aimed to analyse parental functioning, more specifically in the parental exhaustion and in the educational practices, Of parents of children with behavioural problems. We tested a sample of 18 participants, precisely 9 couples, containing 9 "fathers" and 9 "mothers" of children who attend external pediatric consultations due to behavioural problems. In the study, a protocol consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire and four other psychological measurement instruments was applied to both partners, namely the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale, Parental Stress Scale, Emotional Assessment Scale, Co-parenting Questionnaire and Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire. The results of this research, constitutes in this way to one more another contribution to the understanding of the factors that influence the levels of parental stress and to a greater knowledge of this subject. From the results obtained, we highlight the non-verification of statistically significant differences, in function of the parental gender, regarding parental stress, emotional reactivity, co-parenting relationships, parental styles and sense of competence. This finding, however, due to the small size of the sample, cannot be generalized. There were also low levels of parental stress, high levels of co-parenting, high levels of parental competence, being the authoritative the parenting style scored by the majority.
