Vinculação em famílias de acolhimento

: contributo para a compreensão de conhecimentos e práticas profissionais

Abstract

The knowledge of the technicians on the theme of the bonding has implications in its work with the foster families. In this way, this study aims to understand the scientific knowledge of the Residential Reception Technicians about the theme of the bonding and the implications in terms of their work with the foster families. The study is in accordance with the qualitative methodology. Four interviews were conducted with a semi-structured interview script, with technicians from different training areas, to perform functions in a foster home. The results highlight the ambivalence about the perceptions of the measure of the family's reception and about the perceptions of the theme of the bonding in the measure of the family reception, as well as the difficulty of the technicians in reflecting on subjects that they consider important to approach during sessions of training with the foster families. As implications, it is suggested the development of actions for technicians and for foster families that promote the reflection on the importance of developing stable and safe conditions for the children that integrate measures of reception.
