“…Despite the family burden related to mental health access, especially in the aspect of finances, it is very important to conduct this exercise. 16,[20][21][22] High appraisal support (60%) affects the function of patients, subsequently improving the health status. This practice is also recognized for the impact on minimal and simple abilities in other activities, including the direct positive influence on self-esteem.…”

“…The measurement of social support required the use of a questionnaire developed by House and Kahn (1085). This consisted of 24 questions, in 4 parts, within the domains of social (1,3,5,7,9,11), information (2,4,6,8,10,12), instrumental (13,15,17,19,21,23) and valuation support (14,16,18,20,22,24). In addition, respondents' adaptation mechanisms were measured by the use of an adaptation response questionnaire ideated by Nursalam, encompassing social, spiritual and psychological responses.…”

“…Specifically, in addition to other topics that directly involve supporting their transition-aged autistic children, our participants identified "family health and mental health/ emotional wellness" as well. As Lee et al (2019) described, taking care of children with disabilities may be a daunting task for families. Without proper support and services that help these caregivers cope with daily stress, their mental health may be in jeopardy.…”

“…Podemos perceber um número crescente de estudos que abordam esse tipo de perspectivas e suas muitas possibilidades. Porém é importante ressaltar que em grande parte essas intervenções ocorrem ou de forma vertical, através de oficinas de treinamento ou de palestras para os familiares ou de acompanhamentos mais sistematizados (BALESTRO E FERNANDES, 2019;CATALANO et al, 2018;LEE et al, 2019;SOUSA E FERNANDES, 2019 Dentro deste contexto, pensar em estratégias que otimizem a participação efetiva destes familiares e permitam que os profissionais compreendam as dinâmicas familiares de forma abrangente pode possibilitar a melhor condução nas intervenções clinicas e a maior adesão, principalmente nos casos de maior vulnerabilidade e cronicidade. Sendo assim, a estratégia das rodas de conversa, concebida como uma estratégia de promoção de saúde, que possibilita a troca de experiências, conhecimento, angustias e anseios, assim como a autorreflexão sobre os processos dinâmicos e intrínsecos a cada contexto pode ser um importante instrumento nesse processo (ADAMY et al, 2018;COSTA et al, 2010;COSTA et al, 2015).…”
