The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a nursing intervention on the mother's postpartum adjustment and perception of her infant. The intervention was designed to give information about infant behaviour patterns; and to assist the mother in identifying the behavioural responses and reflex behaviours characteristic of her infant. A quasi-experimental design was utilized with random assignment of the twenty-five married primiparous participants to either an experimental or a control group. The subjects in the experimental group took part in the nursing intervention approximately twelve days following their infants' births; the fathers of the infants were also present during the intervention. All participants completed the Neonatal Perception Inventory and the Postnatal Research Inventory one month postpartum. Data were also obtained from the mothers' hospital records. Statistical analysis comparing the scores for the two groups indicated that experimental group mothers had a more positive perception of their infants. In addition, they reported less depression and irritability and fewer negative feelings towards caring for their babies. There were no differences between experimental and control group mothers on seven other scales of maternal adjustment. Correlations between the perception scale and maternal adjustment inventory across all subjects showed that positive perception of the infant was associated with low scores on scales of depression, irritability, fear or concern for the baby, and the mother's need for reassurance. These findings were discussed in relation to their implications for clinical practice. Suggestions for further research into other variables that may be influential in the postpartum period were also outlined. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate

A atenÃÃo integral proposta pela EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia contempla uma reorientaÃÃo do modelo assistencial, superando o antigo mÃtodo centrado na doenÃa. Por essa abordagem peculiar, os trabalhadores da saÃde podem ter uma visÃo inovadora, tanto centrada na pessoa, como focada no contexto amplo da famÃlia, com novos modos de cuidar. Este estudo teve como objetivo desenvolver uma tecnologia leve aplicada a gestantes vulnerÃveis à rejeiÃÃo da gravidez e concepto, buscando fortalecer o vÃnculo mÃe-filho-mundo. Tratou-se de uma abordagem norteada pela pesquisa-cuidado, cujo propÃsito foi beneficiar as participantes pelas diferentes formas de cuidar. A coleta de dados ocorreu pela aplicaÃÃo de formulÃrios, recursos de filmagem e gravaÃÃo de cinco sessÃes grupais, captando a essÃncia do fenÃmeno da rejeiÃÃo, tanto nas falas, como na linguagem corporal das participantes. Alguns resultados quantitativos foram apresentados em grÃficos e tabelas construÃdos a partir dos programas Excel e World versÃo 2010. A anÃlise desses dados delineou o perfil sociodemogrÃfico que vulnerabilizava o contexto da maternagem entre as participantes. Os dados qualitativos foram avaliados e confrontados pela abordagem fenomenolÃgica de Moustakas, a qual se adequou a esta pesquisa por ser mais focada na descriÃÃo das experiÃncias das participantes. A anÃlise revelou que um ambiente, no qual predominam a violÃncia intrafamiliar, a ausÃncia do parceiro, a dependÃncia econÃmica materna, carÃncias de uma mÃe suficientemente boa, memÃrias punitivas dessa mÃe e o nÃo planejamento da gravidez, percebida como sem sentido, influencia diretamente na negaÃÃo da maternidade, constituindo-se um entrave na relaÃÃo harmÃnica mÃe-filho-mundo. Tais fatores podem ser reproduzidos em um mecanismo de rejeiÃÃo, transmitido a cada geraÃÃo familiar. Subjetivamente, foram relatados sentimentos de medo, inseguranÃa, impotÃncia, mÃgoa, vergonha e negaÃÃo na construÃÃo da descriÃÃo estrutural deste estudo. Durante a aplicaÃÃo da pesquisa-cuidado, verificou-se a relevÃncia do cuidado na abordagem de grupo, como proposta de desconstruir o fenÃmeno da rejeiÃÃo. Propiciou-se, assim, um resgate aos princÃpios da maternagem, transcrito nas falas e observado nas imagens por meio de sete unidades de significado, inicialmente caracterizadas pela mÃgoa, desprezo, rejeiÃÃo, aborto e ambivalÃncia de sentimentos, reestruturadas pela resiliÃncia e finalizadas pela aceitaÃÃo. Por fim, à extremamente relevante se promover uma assistÃncia eficaz Ãs gestantes mais vulnerÃveis à rejeiÃÃo e instituir grupos como suporte nos eixos da saÃde mental e cuidado.
