Abstract(s)
Esta investigação incide sobre a pertinência de estudar as problemáticas adversas ao
desenvolvimento emocional e cognitivo destes jovens, várias vezes traduzido por diferentes
níveis de mal-estar. Assim, pretende-se relacionar as trajectórias de vida dos jovens, em
situações de institucionalização (G.J.I.) e em meio familiar de vida (G.J.N.I.), com os
sintomas psicopatológicos e a intensidade de sofrimento psicológico. O acolhimento
institucional de crianças/ jovens sem suporte familiar adequado, tem vindo a constituir-se
como questão central. As investigações realizadas, nesta área, sobre o verdadeiro impacto da
institucionalização, indicam que crianças/jovens institucionalizados apresentam tendência
depressiva, por comparação, com as crianças/jovens em meio familiar de vida (Rosinha, 2005;
Ferreira, 2002, cits. por Marques, 2006).
Neste estudo foram avaliados 30 jovens, dos 13 aos 16 anos. Recorreu-se à Escala de
Avaliação de Sintomas 90- R (SCL- 90- R), avaliando-se as diferenças relativas aos valores
Médios e Desvios-padrão dos dois grupos (G.J.I. e G.J.N.I) para as 9 dimensões de sintomas
psicológicos, bem como a correlação entre estas dimensões. Os resultados referem que o
G.J.I. apresenta um maior número de sintomas psicopatológicos, em detrimento do G.J.N.I.,
com comportamentos delinquentes em meio familiar de vida. Relatam ainda que existe uma
analogia entre a institucionalização e o Índice Geral de Sintomas (GSI), em que o G.J.I.
exprime maior intensidade de sofrimento psíquico. Conclui-se que as trajectórias de vida
destes jovens foram determinantes no número de sintomas psicopatológicos e na intensidade
de sofrimento psíquico.
ABSTRACT: This research focuses on the relevance of studying the problems of adverse emotional and cognitive development of young people, named several times by different levels of malaise. Thus, it is intended to link the paths of life of young people in situations of institutionalization (G.J.I.) and in the familiar environment (G.J.N.I), with psychopathological symptoms and the intensity of psychological distress. The institution shelter for children / young people without adequate family support has set itself the central issue. The investigations in this area, about the true impact of institutionalization, indicate that children / youths institutionalized show depressive trends, by comparison, with children / young people in the family environment (Rosinha, 2005; Ferreira, 2002, cits. by Marques, 2006). In this study were 30 young people, from 13 to 16 years old. It was utilized the Symptoms Checklist 90 - R (SCL-90 - R), evaluating the differences on the average values and standard deviations of the two groups (G.J.I. and G.J.N.I.) for the 9 dimensions of psychological symptoms, as well the correlation between these dimensions. The results indicate that the G.J.I. presents more psychopathological symptoms, rather than G.J.N.I. with delinquent behavior in the family environment. Also reported that there is an analogy between the institutionalization and the Symptoms General Index (GSI), in which the G.J.I. expresses higher intensity of psychological suffering. It concludes that the paths of life of these young people were fundamental in the number of psychopathological symptoms and in the intensity of psychological distress.
