Resumo: | ABSTRACT: Childhood adversity is associated with adverse outcomes, including mental health issues, among other challenges. Children in out-of-home care, particularly in Residential and Foster Care, face a heightened risk of Adverse Childhood Experiences. Nonetheless, research has not thoroughly examined the prevalence of ACEs in this vulnerable population. This systematic review aims to fill this gap by identifying ACE prevalence among children and youth in these care settings. It involved a thorough search across 32 electronic databases, resulting in 18 relevant studies. The findings suggest that these children experience a high prevalence of ACEs, with Neglect, Emotional Abuse, and Physical Abuse being the most common. Moreover, these prevalence rates surpass those found in the general community, highlighting the unique challenges these children encounter. In addition, children in Foster Care appear to have higher risk of Sexual Abuse than the Residential Care population. Tailored interventions and prevention strategies are urgently needed to address these traumatic experiences and improve the well-being of these vulnerable children. Further research, especially within diverse cultural contexts is encouraged. |

Crianças em acolhimento fora do lar, como Acolhimento Residencial e Acolhimento Familiar, enfrentam um risco elevado desses problemas, derivado de experiências traumáticas na infância. Até à data, a investigação não se focou detalhadamente na prevalência de Experiências Adversas de Infância (EAI) nesta população vulnerável. Assim, esta revisão sistemática tem como objetivo colmatar esta lacuna, identificando a prevalência de EAI entre crianças e jovens nestes contextos de acolhimento. Foi realizada uma pesquisa em 32 bases de dados eletrónicas, resultando em 18 estudos relevantes. Os resultados sugerem que estas crianças experienciam uma elevada prevalência de EAI, sendo a Negligência, o Abuso Emocional e o Abuso Físico os mais comuns. Estas taxas de prevalência ultrapassam as da comunidade em geral, destacando os desafios únicos que estas crianças enfrentam. Além disso, a população em Acolhimento Familiar apresentou prevalências mais altas de Abuso Sexual quando comparada com a população em Acolhimento Residencial, exaltando a necessidade de investigação e intervenção futuras neste tema. Estratégias de apoio e prevenção personalizadas são urgentemente necessárias para abordar estes problemas e melhorar o bem-estar desta população vulnerável. Recomenda-se e discute-se a realização de mais investigação, especialmente em contextos culturais diversos.Dissertação de Mestrado realizada sob a orientação do Professor Doutor Miguel Basto Pereira, apresentada no Ispa - Instituto Universitário, para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Psicologia Clínica.Pereira, Miguel BastoRepositório do ISPAAlves, Mafalda Coelho Pinto2024-01-05T18:58:02Z2023-12-152024-01-052023-12-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.12/9401TID:203447166enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-07T02:15:57Zoai:repositorio.ispa.pt:10400.12/9401Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:30:40.667582Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
