Características de los padres y madres de los menores acogidos en familia extensa: Aspectos prioritarios para la prevención y la preservación familiar

Abstract

Un dato que destaca en la investigación en acogimiento en familia extensa es que la mayoría de los estudios se han centrado prioritariamente en dos de los tres protagonistas de estos acogimientos –los menores y sus acogedores-, quedando los padres de los acogidos en un muy lejano segundo plano. El estudio que presentamos a través de este póster aspira a ampliar la información existente sobre las familias de origen de los menores, con el objeto no sólo de conocer las circunstancias vividas por los menores con anterioridad a su acogimiento, sino también de marcar posibles elementos de trabajo con los padres y madres que amplíen las posibilidades de preservación familiar. El análisis realizado se enmarca en una investigación más amplia sobre el contenido de los expedientes de una muestra de menores en acogimiento en familia extensa en la provincia de Sevilla. De sus principales hallazgos podemos destacar la extrema debilidad de las familias de origen de los menores para hacer frente a la crianza y educación de sus hijos e hijas. Entre los elementos que en mayor medida comprometen la vida familiar destaca la presencia de toxicomanía en uno o, con mayor frecuencia, en ambos progenitores, asociada a un estilo de vida marginal donde predominan la inestabilidad en las relaciones de pareja, los problemas económicos, las actividades delictivas y los problemas de salud. El elevado apoyo que los padres de los menores reciben de sus familias de origen supone un importante elemento de protección, aunque ello puede ser cuestionable para un buen número de padres y madres que han vivido a su vez una historia de desprotección en su propia infancia y cuyas familias de origen evidencian importantes elementos de riesgo. En nuestra opinión, los factores reseñados deben contemplarse como aspectos prioritarios de los programas de intervención con estas familias.

Research in kinship foster care frequently has been focused on two of their protagonists, carers and children and adolescents cared for, while neglecting the knowledge about the parents of the minors. With the study presented in this poster, we try to go deeply into variables related to the birth families of children and adolescents in kinship foster care, to know the circumstances lived by minors previously to be foster and also to identify possible key factors to improve professional intervention with these families and increase the chances of family preservation. The analysis fits into a larger study carried out in Spain to know the kinship foster care files of children and adolescents existing in the archives of the Child Protection Service of the province of Seville. Our data underlines the weakness of the birth families to look after their children. Among the factors that most affect the family functioning highlights the presence of drug abuse in one or, more frequently, in both parents, associated to a marginal style of life where predominate the unsteadiness in the relations of couple, the economic problems, the illegal activities and the health problems. The great support that these parents receive of their birth families could be an important element of protection, although this can be questionable for a large number of parents and mothers that have lived a history of abuse or neglect in their own childhood and whose families of origin show important risk elements. We think that these variables are especially key in the interventions with the birth families of these children and adolescents in kinship foster care.
