Avós guardiões: Uma revisão sistemática de literatura do período de 2004 a 2014

Abstract

Guardian grandparents are responsible for the care and upbringing of their grandchildren. It was performed a systematic literature review in the databases PsycINFO (APA), Scielo and Lillacs with the aim of analyzing scientific articles on guardian grandparents published during the last ten years (2004/2014). According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 11 articles were selected for analysis. Results indicate that the articles indexed in Lillacs are predominantly descriptive, while those indexed in PsycINFO (APA) are mostly focused on the discussion of proposed intervention among families of guardian grandparents and grandchildren.
