In the last twenty years, in most of the western countries, kinship foster care has become an integral part of the childcare systems, and in addition they have experienced a growing evolution in what concerns the number of children, and its specific weight as a form of substitute care, in some countries even more frequent than the other placement options like family foster care and residential care. Research on this phenomena is still recent and scarce, as well as the programmes targeted at this population. In this article there are presented the results of a descriptive study on kinship foster care in the city of Barcelona, where information and data from the different involved stakeholders have been collected and presented. From a quality of life research perspective, perceptions, evaluation and expressed satisfaction are analysed, including caregivers, children and professionals from the teams specialised in children and adolescence (EAIA) in charge of the study and follow-up of kinship foster care cases. The research presented results are according with present research undertaken in this thematic area and settles the basis for a further development of kinship foster care programmes
Desde hace aproximadamente dos décadas, en la mayoría de los países occidentales, los acogimientos en familia extensa han entrado a formar parte de los sistemas de protección infantil, siguiendo una evolución creciente en cuanto a número y peso especifico como recurso de acogimiento. Las investigaciones sobre este fenómeno son aún recientes y escasas como también lo son los programas dirigidos a esta población. En el presente artículo presentamos los resultados de un estudio descriptivo sobre los acogimientos en familia extensa en la ciudad de Barcelona, donde se recogen datos de los principales agentes implicados en este fenómeno. Desde la perspectiva de los estudios de la calidad de vida se analizan las percepciones, evaluaciones, y satisfacción expresada, por parte de los acogedores, los niños/as acogidos y los profesionales de los Equipos de Atención a la Infancia y Adolescencia (EAIA) que se encargan del estudio y seguimiento de estos acogimientos. La investigación presenta unos resultados acordes con los estudios que actualmente se realizan en este ámbito y sienta las bases para el despliegue futuro de programas dirigidos a los acogimientos en familia extensa
