LEME, Vanessa Barbosa Romera et al. Intergenerational Solidarity Family in brazilian research: integrative review of the literature. Rev. SPAGESP [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.2, pp. 37-52. ISSN 1677-2970.

This study aims to conduct an integrative review in order to identify and to characterize Brazilian researches which address one or more dimensions of the Intergenerational Family Solidarity (IFS) model developed by Vern L. Bengtson. Searched databases were: SciELO, BVS-Brazil and PePSIC. 793 articles were identified and analyzed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The remaining 34 studies were fully read. Results indicated that most studies were empirical, with cross-sectional design and small sample of children, grandparents and grandchildren. The most frequent theme was grandparents taking care of their grandchildren. The most recurrent IFS dimensions were functional and affective, and the less recurrent was structural.

Keywords : family relations; parent-child relationships; grandparents-grandchildren relationships.
