Cuidado Parental à Criança com Paralisia Cerebral: uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura

o objetivo da presente revisao foi refletir sobre estudos empiricos acerca da percepcao dos pais sobre os cuidados dirigidos ao filho com paralisia cerebral. A busca eletronica se deu nas bases de dados Psynet APA e utilizou protocolo adaptado a partir das diretrizes da Cochrane Collaboration. A amostra inicial foi composta por 279 estudos, a partir da qual foram realizados dois testes de relevância: o teste de relevância I - aplicado aos resumos dos artigos por um pesquisador e o teste de relevância II- aplicado por dois juizes externos que realizaram a leitura dos artigos na integra. Vinte e dois artigos foram selecionados. Os objetivos relatados foram submetidos ao Nvivo 10 software para analise de cluster por decodificacao e aplicacao de analise de conteudo. Tais analises revelaram cinco grandes categorias analiticas: reabilitacao (servicos centrados na familia, percepcao dos pais e qualidade de vida das maes durante a reabilitacao); experiencia nos cuidados diarios (dificuldades das maes, a experiencia dos pais, sobrecarga e tempo de cuidado); apoio (sofrimento dos pais, apoio do parceiro, estresse, necessidades dos pais, percepcao do suporte recebido, problemas comportamentais da crianca e servico de cuidado formal); satisfacao dos pais (praticas de servicos centrados na familia e a experiencia dos pais durante os procedimentos cirurgicos experimentados pelas criancas) e experiencia na alimentacao. Concluiu-se que a satisfacao dos pais em relacao ao apoio recebido e aos servicos especializados se mostrou baixa.
