RESUMO
O objetivo deste artigo é descrever a rotina de adolescentes de baixa renda que cuidam de seus irmãos. Participaram do estudo 20 adolescentes de 12 a 16 anos. Foi utilizada uma ficha de dados sociodemográficos, genograma familiar e entrevista semiestruturada sobre um dia de suas vidas. Organizaram-se as atividades relatadas em cinco categorias cuidado pessoal, cuidado dos irmãos, domésticas, escolares e de lazer. A partir dessas atividades dividiram-se os participantes em três grupos responsáveis pelo cuidado dos irmãos, ajudam suas mães e sem essas atividades. Os resultados indicaram que adolescentes de ambos os sexos cuidam dos irmãos, mas são as meninas que mais assumem tarefas domésticas. Quando responsabilizados pelo cuidado, suas atividades escolares e de lazer são prejudicadas.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this paper is to describe the daily routines of low-income adolescents, focusing particularly on those who look after their siblings. The description is based on a study conducted with 20 adolescents of 12 to 16 years of age. The instruments were a record of socio-demographic data, a family genogram, and a semi-structured interview about a typical day. The activities described were organized into personal care, sibling care, domestic tasks, school tasks, and leisure. The participants were divided into three groups based on type of care those responsible for sibling care, those who helped their mothers with sibling care, and those without such responsibilities. The results showed that adolescents of both sexes took care of siblings, but females were more likely to take on domestic chores. School and leisure activities of adolescents were prejudiced when they were responsible for care.
