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.

The position of the maternal body within patriarchy is the topic of this discussion where, rather than looking at a linear sequence of events, various aspects of this position are explored. On an individual level, the intrusion of the father into the dyadic, and potentially incestuous mother-child relationship, marks the entry of the child into the Symbolic Order, and this reflects the mythical account of creation in the Old Testament, where actual maternity is repressed in favour of a paternal monopoly in creation. Just as monotheism both represses and appropriates many aspects of the goddess cult which preceded it and which it replaces, the maternal body is repressed and appropriated within patriarchy. The acquisition of language and awareness of sexual difference marking entry into the 'Law of the Father,' are constructed on a duality of self and other, a dichotomy of inside and outside with a border, represented by the skin, separating the two. This border, separating the symbolic from its other is tenuous and ambiguous, for it is not entirely impermeable barrier. What seeps across this border, what transgresses the barrier between inside and outside, is considered by Kristeva to be abject. Positioned at the threshold separating inside and outside, abjection is the threat of the ever present, but submerged mother crossing the threshold and disrupting social order. Throughout the paper are images selected from an entire body of related visual research which is closely linked to the ideas contemplated here. / Master of Arts (Hons)

This study explored the contexts that immigrant Taiwanese mothers provided for their American born children concerning heritage language learning. Five immigrant Taiwanese mothers in central Texas participated in this study. To collect data, a qualitative approach was used including in-depth interviews, follow up interviews, supplemental interviews with other family members, and observations of the mothers and their children in different environments. The data was analyzed to answer two research questions: (1) What meanings do immigrant Taiwanese mothers attribute to their American-born children's heritage language? (2) What are the strategies that immigrant Taiwanese mothers describe themselves as using in relation to their American-born children's heritage language learning? This study demonstrated that because of the relative lack of heritage language teaching resources independent of the family, the mothers played an important role in teaching their children a wide variety of languages including Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, Spanish, Japanese, and Cantonese. Furthermore, the meanings that the mothers placed on heritage language could be categorized into cultural relationships, family bonds, social status within the immigrant community, relationship with American and global societies, and academic achievement and social success. The strategies the Taiwanese immigrant mothers used to teach heritage and home languages were diverse but could be analyzed by the concept of social capital and the theories of Lev Vygotsky. The mothers with more economic capital were able to use their social capital to allow one parent to stay at home teaching their children heritage language full-time. They were also able to purchase other people's time in the form of services and effectively use resources such as the Chinese school or travel to promote heritage language learning. Thus, they could actively pursue and establish goals for their children's heritage language learning. Mothers with less social capital were less able to provide an environment promoting early language learning and instead hoped for other resources in the future. The result was that mothers with more social capital were able to have their children excel in many languages including English, while mothers with less social capital not only had difficulty creating proficiency in heritage language but also in English. / text
