Uma coparentalidade positiva e um bom funcionamento familiar são fatores
importantes, principalmente numa fase de crescimento tão crucial que é a idade préescolar. O presente estudo tem como objetivo estudar a perceção de coparentalidade e
funcionamento familiar em pais de crianças em idade pré-escolar. A amostra é composta
por 137 mães e pais de crianças com idades compreendidas entre os 3 e os 5 anos (M =
3.88; DP = 0.84). Os pais preencheram as versões portuguesas do Coparenting
Questionnaire (CQ) e do Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE
15). Relativamente à perceção do funcionamento familiar (SCORE 15), os resultados
revelam que pais de crianças de 3 anos percecionam mais Recursos quando comparados
com pais de crianças de 5 anos e que mães com o ensino superior apresentam pontuações
significativamente mais baixas nas Dificuldades comparativamente a mãe com níveis de
escolaridade inferiores. Foram também encontradas diferenças estatisticamente
significativas em todas as dimensões e total do funcionamento familiar, entre pais de
nível socioeconómico baixo/médio-baixo e médio. Verificaram-se correlações
significativas entre as dimensões da coparentalidade e do funcionamento familiar,
estando uma maior cooperação entre os pais associada a melhor comunicação, recursos
e funcionamento familiar em geral e um maior conflito e maior triangulação associados
a pior comunicação, menos recursos, mais dificuldades e pior funcionamento familiar
geral. São discutidas as implicações dos resultados no contexto da coparentalidade e
funcionamento familiar.
Coparenting and family functioning are important factors, especially in a crucial period such as the preschool age. The present study aims to study the perception of coparenting and family functioning in parents with preschool-age children. The sample is composed of 137 mothers and fathers of children aged between 3 and 5 years (M = 3.88; SD = 0.4). Parents filled the Portuguese versions of the Coparenting Questionnaire (CQ) and the Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation (SCORE 15). Regarding the perception of family functioning (SCORE 15), the results reveal that parents of 3-year-old children perceive more Resources when compared to parents of 5- year-old children and also mothers with higher education have significantly lower scores in Difficulties compared to mothers with lower levels of education. Statistically significant differences were also found in all dimensions and total family functioning, between parents of low/medium-low and medium socioeconomic status. There were significant correlations between the dimensions of coparenting and family functioning, better cooperation between parents was associated with better communication, resources and family functioning in general and higher conflict and higher triangulation associated with worse communication, fewer resources, more difficulties and worse overall family functioning. The implications of the results in the context of coparenting and family functioning are discussed.
