Neste trabalho apresentam-se e discutem-se os resultados de um estudo empírico realizado no distrito do Porto (Portugal), no qual se pretende analisar as perceções de jovens acolhidos e profissionais do sistema de promoção e proteção, sobre o processo de acolhimento residencial, as condições em que este ocorre (o enquadramento institucional e a caracterização da resposta social), o exercício dos direitos dos jovens e a preparação para a vida autónoma, na tentativa ambiciosa de compreender os lugares de (re)produção social e a forma como se realiza a preparação para a autonomia.
A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa, através da análise empírica das experiências de 9 jovens em acolhimento residencial e de 29 profissionais, baseada em entrevistas e observação participante. A identificação de categorias a priori e emergentes reflete as particularidades das narrativas dos participantes, como as perceções sobre o conceito de família, as situações de perigo, a relação institucional, evidenciando as vulnerabilidades e a luta pelo empoderamento e a autonomia dentro (e fora) das instituições dos jovens acolhidos. Esta análise procura contextualizar as histórias pessoais, bem como dialogar com a literatura existente para enriquecer a compreensão da realidade social observada.
Os resultados evidenciaram a importância das relações institucionais, a qualificação escolar e pessoal, bem como a importância da rede social comunitária no processo de autonomização de jovens acolhidos. Esta investigação tem o potencial de contribuir significativamente para futuras investigações na área, destacando a relevância da pesquisa empírica e a necessidade de espaços de voz para os jovens na estrutura institucional, possibilitando uma reformulação mais adequada de políticas públicas e práticas institucionais que os afetam diretamente.
This paper presents and discusses the results of an empirical study carried out in the district of Porto (Portugal), which aims to analyse the perceptions of young people in residential care and professionals in the promotion and protection system about the process of residential care, the conditions in which it takes place (the institutional framework and the characterisation of the social response), the exercise of young people's rights, and preparation for independent living, in an ambitious attempt to understand the places of social (re)production and the way in which preparation for autonomy takes place. The research adopts a qualitative approach by empirically analysing the experiences of 9 young people in residential care and 29 professionals, based on interviews and participant observation. The identification of a priori and emerging categories reflects the particularities of the participants' narratives, such as perceptions of the concept of family, situations of danger, institutional relationships, highlighting vulnerabilities and the struggle for empowerment and autonomy within (and outside) the institutions of young people in residential care. This analysis aims to contextualise the personal stories and engage with existing literature to enhance our understanding of the observed social reality. The results emphasised the importance of institutional relationships and educational and personal qualifications, as well as the significance of community social networks in the autonomisation process of young people in care. This research has the potential to contribute significantly to future investigations in this field, emphasising the importance of empirical research and the necessity of providing young people with a voice within institutional structures. This would enable more appropriate reformulation of public policies and institutional practices that directly affect them.
