Análise Comparativa do Perfil de Crianças em Acolhimento Institucional nos Anos de 2004 e 2009

The study presents a comparative analysis of the aspects that characterized the child population served in a host institution in the metropolitan region of Belem, Para, the years of 2004 (n = 287) and 2009 (n = 249). Variables were compared regarding sociodemographic characteristics of children, the reason for the host, age at entry into the institution and length of stay. The results show that the profile of the population served has undergone major changes: in five years, increased the age at which children entered the institution, which may prevent or mitigate the consequences generated by deprivation of parental care, but also extended the time they remained satisfied by the service, and this is one aspect that aggravates their condition of vulnerability. These data support the argument that it is necessary to monitor over time these and other characteristics of this population, to tailor the management of care services to their developmental demands.

Conceptions and practices of educators at child sheltering institutions

ABSTRACT In Brazil there are at least 2.247 shelters for children and adolescents, and of these 5% are in the North Region. The conceptions of development exert influence on the care practices adopted and vice versa, both being mutually altered by the institutional environment. This study investigated the association between the conceptions of child development and care practices in a sheltering institution and the educators–child interactions in feeding situations. Participating in this study were 100 educators responsible for the daily care of institutionalised children, and who answered the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory. The educators were separated into two groups, according to their performance in answering the inventory. They were later observed in their care practices. The data analyses show that personal and professional experience with children, more than level of education, may explain a better performance of the educators when their knowledge about infantile development was measured and in the quality of their care practices. It is concluded that the wider the general knowledge about these issues, the broader the use of practices towards orientation, stimulation, and attention to hygiene. Under such conditions children benefit, for these are practices which promote child development.
