Abstract(s)
O álcool é uma substância amplamente presente na vida da população europeia, incluindo na cultura portuguesa. No entanto, trata-se de um agente teratogénico, ou seja, capaz de causar malformações no desenvolvimento do feto. A exposição ao álcool durante a gravidez coloca em risco o desenvolvimento saudável e normativo da criança, sendo particularmente preocupante o consumo por parte de mulheres grávidas. Por este motivo, a consciencialização sobre os riscos do álcool na gestação e a promoção de estratégias de prevenção tornam-se cada vez mais fundamentais na proteção da saúde materna e fetal. É essencial reforçar a mensagem de que não existe uma quantidade segura de álcool durante a gravidez e que qualquer consumo pode ser prejudicial. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os conhecimentos, comportamentos e perspetivas de treze mulheres grávidas (atingindo-se a saturação teórica) relativamente ao consumo de álcool na gestação, através de entrevistas em profundidade. A análise do conteúdo recolhido através das várias entrevistas foi analisado através do software NVivo. Entre os resultados encontrados, destacam-se uma limitada literacia sobre os riscos do álcool e o facto de alguns profissionais de saúde não cumprirem com aquelas que são as indicações profissionais para a sua atuação nestas circunstâncias.
Alcohol is a substance widely present in the lives of the European population, including within Portuguese culture. However, it is a teratogenic agent, meaning it has the potential to cause malformations in fetal development. Exposure to alcohol during pregnancy poses a significant risk to the healthy and normative development of the child, making alcohol consumption among pregnant women particularly concerning. For this reason, raising awareness about the risks of alcohol during pregnancy and promoting preventive strategies are increasingly vital for safeguarding maternal and fetal health. It is essential to reinforce the message that there is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy and that any consumption can be harmful. This study aimed to analyze the knowledge, behaviors, and perspectives of thirteen pregnant women (with theoretical saturation achieved) regarding alcohol consumption during pregnancy, using in-depth interviews. The content collected through the interviews was analyzed using NVivo software. Among the key findings were a limited level of health literacy concerning the risks of alcohol, and the fact that some healthcare professionals did not adhere to the professional guidelines recommended for dealing with such situations.
