BIOECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF FAMILIES IN
SOCIAL VULNERABILITY DURING THE COVID-19PANDEMIC.
Social vulnerability; families; ecological insertion; pandemic; Covid-19.The COVID-19 Pandemic, due to its systemic aspect, profoundly affected human lives in the
most diverse cultures and societies. From public health, politics, economics, interpersonal
relations and even international relations, all these and other diverse areas of human life were
impacted by this Pandemic. Taking this factor into account, this project aims to carry out a
bioecological analysis of families in social vulnerability, during the COVID 19 Pandemic, in
the city of Mesquita/RJ. The research will be carried out in families assisted by the Recriando
Project for children and teenagers in the Association Vida Plena of Mesquita - which works
with families in the Rocha Sobrinho region, an area of extreme social vulnerability. In an
attempt to understand the family configurations of these families, the project will be anchored
in the concepts of social vulnerability and in public policies for vulnerable families. Family
systems theory, bioecological theory and parenting styles theory will be used to better
understand this phenomenon. A qualitative research will be carried out, with an integrative
literature review and field research using the method of Ecological Insertion. For this, five
AVPM user families will be analyzed through a parenting styles questionnaire, semi-
structured interviews and six meetings with Focus Groups on issues involved with the
research theme.
