Full textHaving a child with a disability confronts the parent with multiple difficulties. This thesis focuses on the psychopathological topics (parental distress and burnout) as well as the personal resources of parents of children with a disorder or handicap. Study 1 aims to understand, thanks to quantitative and qualitative approaches, the difficulties encountered in everyday life and in the moments initially dedicated to rest. Even when the child with a disability is an adult, the chronicity of difficulties and the time-consuming tasks have consequences on the personal life of the parent. The wishes for support are expressed (eg. home help) that can relieve the daily load. Study 2 focuses on a qualitative analysis of the experiences of parents of adolescents and adults with disabilities. Analyze of 14 interviews make it possible to identify changes (difficulties and resources) within different areas. The particularity of this study shows that parents maintain their parenting role despite the fatigue generated. Furthermore, they report concerns about the future of their child. Study 3 shows three clusters of parents of adults with mental disorders based on their level of parental distress and their participation in support groups. The clusters differed in the sense of loneliness, optimism and unconditional self-acceptance. The type of parental support would depend on their level of distress. Study 4 aims to study the various aspects related to the organization of family tasks and care of the child in connection with parental burnout. Of the 386 mothers of children with a disorder, 30% are exhausted and have more personal and family-related tasks than non-exhausted mothers

Full textO presente estudo utiliza a base de dados Quadros de Pessoal de 2007 a 2012 e a metodologia de diferenças-em-diferenças para a análise dos efeitos do aumento dos benefícios de licença parental introduzidos em 2009, através da revisão do Código de Trabalho e do Decreto-Lei 91/2009. Os resultados exibem um efeito negativo estatisticamente significativo da medida estabelecida, indicando uma redução de 3,6% da remuneração horária para os trabalhadores-alvo da alteração. Existem evidências de maiores efeitos para indivíduos com maiores qualificações, bem como para indivíduos com maior grau de habilitações. Estes resultados encontram-se em conformidade com os modelos teóricos de benefícios obrigatórios estipulados, onde o aumento do custo para o empregador é transferido para a remuneração do trabalhador. A robustez dos resultados foi testada com recurso a diferentes especificações de períodos e grupos.
This study uses 2007-2012 data from Quadros de Pessoal and a difference-in-differences methodology to analyze the effects of the increase in parental leave benefits introduced in 2009 by the revision of the Labor Code and Decree-Law 91/2009. Results show a persistent statistically significant negative effect of the policy, pointing to a 3.6% reduction of the hourly wages for the individuals targeted by the legislation. There is evidence of a larger effect for individuals with more qualifications, as well as for those with more years of schooling. Findings are consistent with the model of mandated benefits, as the increase in employer costs is shifted to wages. Results are robust to the use of different specifications of periods and groups.

Full textPeople who reach the status of parent without having reached the age of the civilian majority constitute a segment of the population with very specific social, medical and legal problems and needs. The studies devoted to this phenomenon give priority to medical and social questions, the legal aspect being rarely considered. These parents-minor are presented as a problem that needs to be addressed, as their pregnancies and motherhood are systematically presented as unwanted events, their becoming rarely mentioned. The purpose of this work is to present the legal situation of these minors who put their legal presumption of immaturity and their legal incapacity to the test. The granting of the status of parent to a minor may enable the confrontation of his rights with the protection which he remains the object.By becoming a parent, the minor evolves with his or her child in an atypical legal environment where two family organization coexist, each parent the parental authority over their respective child. The difficulties arising from this paradoxical situation where a minor can be brought the best interests of his child, this situation proposes a different reading of the functioning of parental authority and the range of the child’s legal incapacity. In view of the issues of parent-minor’s protection and his or her child, it may require to consider the articulation of the status of minor with this new parenthood. This coexistence can only be achieved by modifying one of the statutes for the benefit of the other by taking account to the ability of the minor to assume his parenthood by preserving the best interest of his or her child

Full textCette thèse aborde la question de la participation parentale en milieu préscolaire, dans la cadre de modalités d’accueil dites non formelles ou non conventionnelles au Chili. Il s’agit d’abord de s’interroger sur la pertinence de la notion de participation dans le champ éducatif. Des considérations sociopolitiques sur le sujet sont mises en question au profit de perspectives associées au courant de l’apprentissage situé, qui considèrent la participation à des groupes comme une expérience sociale incontournable permettant l’apprentissage des individus selon des modalités diverses. Une revue de littérature aborde ensuite la question des modalités d’accueil à caractère non formel ou non conventionnel en Amérique Latine. La situation du préscolaire chilien dans son ensemble est également prise en compte, afin de mieux comprendre la place de ces modalités d’accueil et les choix de terrains effectués. Ces choix sont précisés et justifiés en cohérence avec l’approche qualitative, marquée par l’importance accordée à l’entretien compréhensif collectif en tant que principal dispositif d’enquête. La situation de six structures chiliennes est ensuite présentée à l’aide d’une monographie consacrée à chacune. Cette approche par cas vise l’identification des logiques et des modalités participatives développées ainsi que des orientations discursives sous-jacentes. Une analyse transversale des structures est ensuite présentée, avec une attention particulière portée aux possibilités offertes par les modalités de participation développées et à leur négociation. L’analyse inclut une reconsidération critique de certaines questions théoriques, notamment la possibilité de concevoir les structures d’accueil selon le modèle des communautés de pratique. L’on s’intéresse finalement aux processus d’apprentissage informel pouvant être associés aux modalités de participation parentale et plus largement communautaire développées dans ces structures

Full textBecoming a parent is a major life event that is often associated with feelings of happiness but can also cause psychological distress. The context in which parental adjustment takes place is defined by the characteristics of the parent, the child and the socio-cultural environment in which the parent lives and which influences his state of health and well-being. The context of the first year is particularly marked by the many challenges and adjustments related to the development and specific needs of young children. In addition, the birth of a chronically ill child complicates parental adjustment and can cause stress. To carry out this adjustment, it is necessary for the parent to have resources on which to rely, such as social support and parental self-efficacy (PSE). This thesis work consists of four studies. The first study validates a French adaptation of the Karitane Parental Confidence Scale (KPCS) which measures PSE among parents of children under one year of age. The second study presents a literature review on the relationship between PSE and parental psychological well-being. The third study highlights the mediating effect of PSE on the relationship between social support and parental psychological well-being. Finally, the fourth study proposes a grounded theory that accounts for early parental adjustment in the case of rare abdominal-thoracic disease in children.The results highlight the need to take into account the characteristics of the context in which parents must adjust in order to support them and promote their health and well-being.Keywords: parenthood, parental self-efficacy, social support, health, well-being, parental adjustment, pediatrics, grounded theory

Full textA passividade com que se assistiu, em épocas passadas, aos maus-tratos sobre as crianças, não pode ser aceite na sociedade atual. A criança é um ser em constante crescimento e desenvolvimento o que implica risco, (Reis, 2009). Compete-nos a todos enquanto membros ativos da sociedade proteger essa as crianças, apoiar o seu crescimento saudável e estimular o pleno desenvolvimento das suas competências. A negligência parental é uma forma de maus-tratos, muito prevalente na população, que continua encoberta por um manto de invisibilidade. Ela ocorre preferencialmente em casa, não deixa marcas e confunde-se facilmente com outras situações temporárias. Esta invisibilidade facilita a repetição do fenómeno e agrava as suas consequências a longo do tempo. Por isso, é importante agir e agir atempadamente. O presente projeto de graduação pretende identificar precocemente os sinais de negligência parental, de modo a desencadear procedimentos de proteção à criança e o apoio à família.
The passivity with which child abuse were saw in past times is unacceptable in today's society. The child is in constant growth and development, which involves risks, (Reis, 2009). It is up to all us as active members of society to protect the children, support their healthy growth and encourage the full development of their skills. Parental neglect is a very prevalent form of abuse but continues to be shrouded in a cloak of invisibility. It occurs preferably indoors, leaves no perceptible marks, and is easily confused with other temporary situations. This invisibility facilitates repetitions and worsens its consequences over time. So it is important to act, and act in a timely manner. This graduation project is intended to propose identify early signs of parental neglect in order to trigger the procedures that protection the children and the support the family.

Full textOs maus tratos a crianças e jovens são entendidos, hoje, como um grave e verdadeiro problema de saúde pública a nível mundial, perante o qual é necessário atuar. Embora desvalorizada durante muito tempo, a negligência parental constitui-se, atualmente, como uma das principais preocupações no âmbito da proteção de crianças e jovens. O presente projeto tem como principal objetivo a prevenção de práticas negligentes. Para tal, procedeu-se à criação de um programa de desenvolvimento de competências parentais, destinado a pais/encarregados de educação de alunos de turmas de 5.º e 6.º ano da Escola Básica e Secundária do Cerco do Porto. O programa consiste na realização de 8 sessões de esclarecimento e de treino de práticas parentais positivas, com periodicidade semanal e a duração de, aproximadamente, 90 minutos cada. Espera-se que o projeto tenha um impacto positivo no desenvolvimento de competências pessoais, sociais e educativas e na modificação de atitudes dos pais face à problemática da negligência parental. Por fim, reflete-se criticamente sobre as potencialidades e as limitações do estudo.
Mistreatment of children is understood today as a serious and real public health problem worldwide, it’s necessary to act. Although ignored for a long time, parental neglect is currently one of the main concerns in the field of child and youth protection. The main objective of this project is the prevention of negligent practices. To this end, a parenting skills devolopment program was created, aimed at parents or guardians of students in the 5th and 6th grade classes of the Escola Básica e Secundária do Cerco do Porto. The program consists in 8 weekly sessions of clarification and training of positive parentig practices, with approximately 90 minutes each. It is expected that the project have a positive impact on the development of personal, social and educational skills and on the modification of parental attitudes towards the problem of parental neglect. Finally, it reflects critically on the study's potential and limitations.

Full textObjetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver um instrumento de medida das preocupações parentais genéricas, e avaliar a prevalência das preocupações em pais Portugueses de crianças entre os 3 e os 10 anos. Metodologia: Participaram 3842 pais de crianças a frequentar o ensino público pré-escolar e o 1º ciclo do ensino básico. Tendo por objetivo o estudo representativo da população portuguesa, realizou-se uma amostragem estratificada que selecionou 820 escolas dos 18 Distritos de Portugal Continental. Foi realizada uma pesquisa em bases de dados relevantes para o tema, tendo como palavra-chave preocupações parentais, e como critérios de inclusão serem peer-reviewed, focarem a avaliação das preocupações parentais e serem pertinentes para a parentalidade genérica. Os pais preencheram um questionário sociodemográfico, a Escala de Preocupações Parentais, a Escala de Stress Parental e duas subescalas do Inventário de Comportamento da Criança para Pais. Resultados: Foram selecionadas 128 publicações que preencheram os critérios definidos. Os temas foram agrupados segundo as seguintes categorias: Definição de preocupação parental, determinantes das preocupações parentais, preocupações parentais preditivas de problemas da criança, preocupações parentais preditivas do comportamento parental, resultados das preocupações parentais, influência das preocupações parentais nos profissionais de saúde, preocupações parentais e estratégias de intervenção. Os estudos de validação da Escala de Preocupações Parentais revelaram validade de constructo, avaliado por uma Análise Fatorial Confirmatória que confirmou os 5 fatores da Escala, e valores elevados de consistência interna, avaliada pelo alfa de Cronbach. A validade de critério, avaliada através da correlação com o ICCP, revelou valores baixos de correlação. Os estudos de validação da Escala de Stress Parental revelaram validade de constructo através de uma Análise Fatorial Confirmatória, confirmando os 4 fatores definidos na versão Portuguesa da Escala. Valores mais elevados de stress verificaram-se em pais de crianças do sexo masculino, com um maior número de irmãos, e em pais com um nível de escolaridade mais baixo, mais velhos, divorciados ou solteiros, e ainda em mães em situação profissional inativa. O estudo comparativo entre preocupações parentais e stress parental revelou correlações baixas. No estudo de prevalência das preocupações verificaram-se valores muito elevados de preocupação. O valor mais elevado verificou-se na subescala preocupações escolares e problemas familiares, enquanto o valor mais baixo foi observado na subescala de medos das crianças. A análise das variáveis sociodemográficas revelou diferenças significativas entre mães e pais, no sexo da criança, no nível de escolaridade da criança, no nível de escolaridade dos pais, na idade dos pais ao nascimento da criança, no estado civil, e na situação profissional. Conclusões: A Escala de Preocupações Parentais revelou boas qualidades psicométricas, validade de constructo e validade de critério. Estes resultados apontam para a validade da escala na avaliação das preocupações parentais na investigação e na prática clínica. Os elevados níveis de prevalência das preocupações parentais confirmam a necessidade de avaliação pelos profissionais de saúde, devendo ser definidas diferentes estratégias de intervenção consoante o nível de preocupação que os pais manifestem. Estudos posteriores deverão analisar a influência da personalidade dos pais, problemas de saúde mental, e fatores de conjugalidade. ---------- ABSTRACT ---------- Objective: The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to assess general parental concerns, and to evaluate parental concerns’ prevalence in Portuguese parents of children between 3 and 10 years old. Methods: The participants were 3842 parents of children attending public preschool and primary school. Being our aim to study a representative sample of Portuguese parents, a stratified design sample scheme selected 820 schools in the 18 Portuguese Districts. An extensive search was conducted using relevant databases. The key-words were parental concerns, and the criteria for inclusion were peer-reviewed publications, parental concerns’ assessment, and being an issue of interest to general parenting. Parents completed a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Parental Concerns Scale, the Parental Stress Scale, and two subscales of the Portuguese version of the Child Behavior Checklist. Results: 128 publications were selected for inclusion. Themes were grouped according to seven main outcome categories: Parental concerns’ definition, parental concerns’ determinants, parental concerns predictive of children’s problems, parental concerns predictive of parental behavior, parental concerns’ outcomes, parental concerns’ influence on healthcare professionals, and parental concerns and intervention strategies. Results support the 5-factor structure of the Parental concerns Scale, which showed construct related validity, as evaluated by a confirmatory factorial analysis, and a strong internal consistency. Low evidence of criterion-related validity was obtained by a correlational study with CBCL. The validity studies conducted with the Parental Stress Scale supported the 4-factor structure of the Portuguese version of the Parental Stress Scale. Higher levels of parental stress were reported by parents of boys, with a lower educational level, older, divorced or single parents; unemployed mothers, and with a higher number of children. Parental concerns and parental stress’ comparative study reported very low correlations. The prevalence study reported very high levels of parental concern. The highest level of concern was obtained in the subscale family and school problems, and the lowest level of concern in the fears subscale. Comparative analysis reported significant differences between mothers and fathers; child’s gender; child’s schooling level; mothers’ and fathers’ level of education, age at childbirth, marital status, and employment status. Conclusions: The Parental Concerns Scale revealed good psychometric properties, construct validity, and criterion related validity. These results confirm the validity of this instrument in the assessment of parental concerns for research and clinical practice. The high prevalence levels of parental concerns in general parenting brings evidence for the need to address parental concerns, and also to define different strategies of intervention in accordance to the level of concern parents express. Future research should address the parents’ personality, mental health problems, and also marital variables that might influence parental concerns.
