O processo de transiçãoda integração do recém-nascido na família alargada: confrontando diferentes perspetivas / The process of transition of the extended family in the newborn's integration: comparing different perspectives

ABSTRACT

Understanding the process of transition of the extended family in the newborn's inte-gration was the aim of this study.It is a qualitative study using the Grounded Theory. It is based on 14 families of one of the autonomous regions of Portugal and the semi-structured interview was used for data collection. The Causal Condition - Comparing Different Perspectives emerged from the analysis. It is characterized as the beginning of the newborn's integration in the family process trajectory, where the extended family hasn't integrated the changes yet and shows some difficulties in its operationalization. In the newborn's integration in the extended family process Comparing Different Perspectives represents the confrontations/conflicts inside the cohabiting family, due to the existence of different perspectives in raising the new member. Thus, the study enabled us to understand not only the transitional process dynamics, as it is a reflection point and a raising of awareness to the change/innovation of the practice and formation contexts, but also how the extended family deals with the beginning of the experience as far as the newborn's integration in the family transition is concerned
