FURTADO, Monalisa Pereira; SILVA, Agnes de Maria Júnior da; SANTOS, Juliana Oliveira dos  e  MAGALHAES, Celina Maria Colino. Institutional shelter workers: their action upon the Childs admission. Mudanças [online]. 2019, vol.27, n.1, pp. 11-20. ISSN 0104-3269.

The current study was performed at an institutional shelter. The aim was to assess how the workers act upon the admittance of a child. To do that we took the statements of 16 educators and seven members of the technical staff through a questionnaire for social demographic characterization and semi-structured interview. The results of the interview were analyzed with the use of IRaMuTeQ® software. The main results were: 1) most workers were women, admitted through public contest, had college education and recent training; 2) upon the admittance of the children in the institution the workers attitude is to explain to the children the reason for their sheltering; 3) it is common the emission of routine behavior; 4) there is little contact between the educators and the children's families; 5) the children have difficulties to adapt to the institution routine. It is concluded that the team work is designed to suppress the children's physical and emotional needs, however they still demonstrate difficulties in adapting themselves.
