| dc.description.abstract | Since the creation of SINASE, psychologists have been designated as part of the minimum
team in the care of adolescents in compliance of socio-educational measures. Thus, an
increase was expected, both in the number of professionals working in this segment and in
the scientific productions in the area, which underlie the performance. Based on these
considerations, this research was divided into two studies. In Study 1, a Systematic Literature
Review (SLR) was carried out in order to analyze Brazilian scientific production in the field
of psychology, with respect to the theme of socio-education, since the creation of SINASE
(2006) to the year 2020. Twenty-six studies were found, the majority being cross-sectional
exploratory, mostly developed in the Southeast and South regions, and focusing on
adolescents in inpatient units. The lack of studies on scientifically validated interventions and
longitudinal studies was highlighted. In addition, the need for investment in psychological
science in other regions of the country was evidenced, considering that the criminal
trajectories can vary according to the context in which the adolescent is inserted. In Study 2,
we sought to characterize the profile of psychology professionals working in internment units
in the state of São Paulo, as well as to verify the knowledge of these professionals about the
guidelines that support their practices, and their perception of their own performance. For
this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire was built, administered via Google Forms,
consisting of 4 sections, namely: 1) sociodemographic data (such as gender, age, income,
length of experience), 2) higher education (type of university time of training, postgraduation), 3) Theoretical and practical knowledge of the guidelines to professional practice
(SINASE, 2006; 2012 and CFP, 2010) and 4) perception of their own professional
performance. The questionnaire underwent content validation, with 51 items referring to the
last two sections. The instrument was answered by 93 psychology professionals working in
internment units in the state of São Paulo. Most of the sample consisted by women, with an
average age of 43.3 years, graduated in private universities and hired through public
examination. Participants obtained high scores, both in knowledge about the guidelines for
action and in their perception of the work performed. The need for studies in different regions
of the country is discussed, as well as the importance of the topic of socio-education in
psychology training. | |
