La infància i l’adolescència de la ciutat de Lleida. Informe 2009 - 2010
(Edicions de la Universitat de Lleida, 2011) Balsells, M. Àngels; Coiduras Rodríguez, Jordi L.; Ballesté, Joan; Adrover, Àngels; Vaquero Tió, Eduard
Les dades publicades per governs i altres institucions internacionals sobre la infància i l’adolescència són un referent interessant sobre realitats àmplies, estatals o internacionals. Malgrat la seva oportunitat i utilitat ofereixen una visió limitada en relació a realitats més properes com la ciutat. D’això es deriva la necessitat d’aproximacions a nivell micro per a conèixer amb més detall el benestar dels ciutadans i dels infants en particular. La descentralització de les competències de govern i l’aproximació de l’administració municipal als ciutadans suposa un grau de responsabilitat municipal gens menyspreable en la gestió de la despesa social. L’exercici eficient d’aquestes facultats solament pot basar-se en estudis que permetin actuar de forma local de manera més precisa i informada.

Needs analysis for a parental guidance program for biological family: Spain's current situation
(Lumen Publishing House, 2011) Balsells, M. Àngels; Amorós, Pere; Fuentes-Peláez, Núria; Mateos Inchaurrondo, Ainoa
One of the current characteristics of child protection in Spain is the priority that we try to give to the socio-educative action with the biological family when the measure of kinship foster care is applied to achieve family reunification. In this paper the results related to the biological family, the risk and protection factors and its needs of socio-educative support are presented. They are the result of two5 consecutive studies carried out by the GRISIJ6 in which the educative needs with regard to Kinship foster care are analysed. The research compiles the information of 145 professionals of child protection in the Spanish territory distributed in 20 discussion groups. The qualitative results have been analysed by means of the content analysis technique. The results show the factors that can be favourable in a process of reunification of the child and of support. To highlight: a) the quality and frequency of visits and meetings; b) the quality of the relationship between the foster family and the biological family; c) the relationship between the biological family and the fostered child – affective bonds -: d) the reunification factors – involvement in the parental role and in motivation; e) the socio-educative support and the official and non-official resources, and f) the biological families’ guidance needs..

The perception adolescents in kinship foster care have of their own needs
(Lumen Publishing House, 2012) Mateos Inchaurrondo, Ainoa; Balsells, M. Àngels; Molina, María Cruz; Fuentes-Peláez, Núria
This article presents the most important findings concerning the socialeducational needs as expressed by adolescents in kinship foster care (KFC) in the study carried out I+D SEJ-026575 in Spain between 2005 and 2008. The data for the study was collected from discussion groups with adolescents in kinship foster care AFE (n=57) from different autonomous communities in Spain. In the needs assessment the data was collected in the following categories: characteristics of Foster care in kinship family; family history; foster family and foster child; biological family and foster child; self-awareness; healthy family life; free time; the future after fostering. In the results found the following needs stand out: emotional family stability; overcoming problems related to the generation gap with the Foster family, greater openness and clarity dealing with family history, establishing norms and limits, increasing the frequency and quality of parents visits, finding ways of aiding relationships between the foster family and the biological parents, providing support and resources to the foster family, affronting in an educational way subjects such as sexuality, drug addiction, pro-social activities and lastly preparation to face the future after foster care. Incorporating these elements in the support programme for adolescents in KFC can contribute in a positive way to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral development of these adolescents.

El suport a la família biològica, un factor bàsic per a la reunificació en els acolliments familiars i residencials
(Departament de Benestar i Drets Socials, Consell de Mallorca, 2012) Amorós, Pere; Balsells, M. Àngels; Fuentes-Peláez, Núria; Mateos Inchaurrondo, Ainoa; Molina, María Cruz; Mundet Bolós, Anna; Pastor Vicente, Crescencia; Vaquero Tió, Eduard
L’ànàlisi de la literatura permet observar com la investigació sobre la identificació de les necessitats i les capacitats parentals de les famílies en situació de vulnerabilitat amb fills i filles en el sistema de protecció, està en fase molt incipient, però apunten a què el treball i el suport socioeducatiu amb aquestes famílies és fonamental per afavorir el retorn i la reunificació. L’èxit de la reunificació està relacionat amb variables com la posada en marxa simultània del treball amb les famílies quan se’n separa un fill o filla, de la qualitat i intensitat de les visites, i dels contactes durant el temps de la mesura de protecció; i també de la qualitat i la intensitat del suport rebut.

Child welfare and successful reunification: understanding of the family difficulties during the socio-educative process
(Lumen Publishing House, 2013) Balsells, M. Àngels; Pastor Vicente, Crescencia; Molina, María Cruz; Fuentes-Peláez, Núria; Vaquero Tió, Eduard; Mundet Bolós, Anna
Family reunification, in terms of the system of infancy protection, is the process by which a child returns to his/her biological family after a period of temporary foster care. The scientific literature and the new social policies share the understanding that socio-educative action with the biological family is an essential requisite for family reunion. Despite this agreement, socio-educative processes during family reunification have received little attention up till now. This paper presents the results of an investigation conducted by the GRISIJ group concerning one of the most important elements in the process of reunification: the ability to gain understanding into a family’s difficulty, which is known as “insight”. This investigation collects information from 135 people, 62 of which are child welfare professionals in the Spanish territory, 42 are fathers and mothers who have experienced a process of reunification and 30 are children and adolescents who have been through a foster care situation; all distributed in 13 focus groups and 20 interviews. Qualitative results have been analysed using the technique of analysis of content. The results show a gradual process for the acquisition of this skill, which involves different aspects: awareness of the problem (understanding and assimilation of the reasons that caused the removal); understanding of the reunification, comprehension of the reasons for the reunification; comprehension of the reunification process; awareness of the changes made and awareness of the progress in consolidating family reunification.

The biological family from the perspective of kinship fostered adolescents
(Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos del Principado de Asturias, 2013) Fuentes-Peláez, Núria; Amorós, Pere; Mateos Inchaurrondo, Ainoa; Balsells, M. Àngels; Violant, Verónica
Previous studies emphasise the importance of the biological family to the welfare of fostered adolescents. However, the majority of these studies only take into consideration the viewpoints of the professionals, foster parents and biological parents, not those of the adolescents themselves. For this reason little is known about the perceptions the adolescents have and the needs they express. Method: This study has gathered data from 57 adolescents in kinship family foster care in Spain (AFE). The study applied qualitative reseach, using focus groups to gather data, and the Atlas.ti programme to analyse the data. The qualitative data give us a more profound understanding of how the fostered adolescents relate to their biological families. Results: The results highlight the specific needs of these adolescents with regard to: a) understanding of their family history, b) the impact of visits from and relationship with their biological family, and c) the relationship between the biological family and the foster family. Conclusions: These findings reveal implications to consider when creating support programmes aimed at this group.

Sexual health promotion in high social risk adolescents: the view of ‘professionals’
(Lumen Publishing House, 2013) Molina, María Cruz; Amorós, Pere; Balsells, M. Àngels; Jané, Mireia; Vidal, María José; Díez, Elia
Teenage pregnancy rates and STIs have lately risen all over Europe. In Catalonia, figures have started to improve slightly because of a joint effort by all health and social agents involved in promoting healthy habits. Effective intervention must be accompanied by scientifically proven actions which must be present in educational curricula and in health plans and must also require family involvement. Our qualitative study aimed at exploring programmes and experiences targeted at young people as well as analyzing innovative proposals which would address teenagers’ needs; it also aimed at understanding weaknesses and strengths identified by professionals who work with vulnerable youths. We used 6 focus groups: 2 involved with immigrants, 2 from deprived areas and 2 from youth care homes with a total of 48 participants. They all stated the importance of combining initiatives within educational, community and health contexts. They also deemed necessary to come up with new organizational strategies which would facilitate coordination of services and resources available as well as the necessity to devise a common curriculum. They also believe in implementing more motivating and innovative strategies to attract teenagers and in the necessity for monitoring programmes in order to increase their effectiveness particularly those programmes aimed at youths who can’t access health or educational services.

Implementation and evaluation of the “learning together, growing in family programme”: the impact on the families
(Lumen Publishing House, 2013) Amorós, Pere; Balsells, M. Àngels; Buisan, Montserrat; Byrne, Sonia; Fuentes-Peláez, Núria
The article looks at the characteristics of the programme and its application and evaluation. We have chosen a mixed methodological focus that is characterised by a research process that collects analyses and links quantitative and qualitative data, as well as its integration and joint discussion, to achieve a greater understanding of the phenomenon under study. The application has been under- taken with 1,834 people of whom 1,270 have undertaken the programme (609 parents and 661 children), and 564 (296 parents and 268 children) formed part of the control group. The results show that after the programme the strict (authoritarian) style, permissive style, criticism and rejection have decreased and paren- tal affection and communication have increased. There has been an increase in leisure activities undertaken in the family, both in everyday and special activities, satisfaction with family life has improved and there has been greater community integration along with learning processes of an emotional, behavioural and cog- nitive nature. We describe proposals for change to improve the efficiency of the programme by means of going deeper into the subject matter of the programme and the creation of reference bodies to establish networking with the small entities, attending to the largest number of families possible within the characteristics of the programme.

(John Wiley & Sons, 2014) Fuentes-Peláez, Núria; Balsells, M. Àngels; Fernández, Josefina; Vaquero Tió, Eduard; Amorós, Pere
This paper analyses how social support enhances family resilience inkinship foster families by involving the families in an educationalgroup programme. Sixty-two kinship foster families from Spain par-ticipated in the research. The data were collected before the pro-gramme (interviews) and after the programme (interviews and focusgroups), and it was analysed by content analysis with the programAtlas.ti. The results show that the factors that contribute most to thedevelopment of family resilience are (i) feeling able to look forsolutions when faced with problems; (ii) an increase of their networkof formal support; (iii) being able to offer support to other fosterfamilies; and (iv) feeling that the support they give to parents’ fosterchildren is socially recognized

La educación afectiva y sexual de los y las jóvenes en situación de riesgo social es un elemento esencial para su salud. La educación en esta área requiere unos planteamientos rigurosos que se basen en las necesidades educativas y diferenciales de este colectivo en relación a la salud afectiva y sexual. El presente artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación que analiza estas necesidades. Para ello, se diseñó una investigación acción participativa de carácter cualitativa, en la cual participaron 48 profesionales y 72 jóvenes. La recogida de información se realizó mediante grupos de discusión. Los resultados constatan que el factor cultural y la historia personal y familiar son variables que tienen un carácter concluyente en los comportamientos sexuales de este colectivo. Estas variables deben considerarse, tanto en la educación formal como en la no formal, con tal de promover la salud afectiva sexual, haciendo especial hincapié en los aspectos emocionales, afectivos y sociales

Promoting resilience through technology, art and a child rights-based approach
(Expert Projects Publishing House, 2014) Vaquero Tió, Eduard; Urrea Monclús, Aida; Mundet Bolós, Anna
The concept of resilience is widely used in many fields as a frame of reference. It is generally understood to be a capacity which a person, group, subject or system can develop when facing a situation affecting integrity, enabling them to hold up, recover and come out of it stronger. Resilience is considered as a crosssectional study in which more and more areas of knowledge find a positive way to address and raise new studies. This article considers the concept of resilience from an ecological perspective and looks at how it can be promoted and developed through technology, art and a child rights-based approach. Finally, some conclusions and suggestions are made to continue the study of resilience

Child welfare and successful reunification through the socio-educative process: needs to training of biological familiy in Spain
(MDPI - Open Access Publishing, 2014) Balsells, M. Àngels; Pastor Vicente, Crescencia; Amorós, Pere; Mateos Inchaurrondo, Ainoa; Ponce, Carmen; Navajas Hurtado, Alicia
In Spain, an average of 480 children per 100,000 is receiving some type of temporary care, and the reunification process is typically lengthy. Providing the biological family with specific training as part of the reunification process is key to solving this problem. Although previous research and social policy have emphasized the importance of such training to reunification, the training has not been fully implemented in Spain. This study investigates the specific training needs during the transition phase of the reunification process in which the child prepares to return home. The data were obtained from focus groups and through semi-structured interviews with 135 participants: 63 professionals from the Child Protection System and 42 parents and 30 children who have undergone or are currently undergoing reunification. A qualitative methodology and Atlas.ti software were used to analyze the interview content. The results indicate three specific training needs: (a) understanding the reasons for reunification and the reunification phases; (b) empowerment strategies; and (c) social support. These findings suggest the best practices for formulating specific support programs for this population during the reunification transition period.
