Abstract(s)
A transição para a maternidade representa um período de desafios e mudanças biopsicossociais na vida da mulher. No caso das mulheres em situação de vulnerabilidade social estas mudanças podem ser ainda mais evidentes e desafiantes, afetando a vivência psicológica da gravidez e o seu bem-estar. O presente estudo teve por objetivo explorar o bem-estar psicológico de mulheres ou mães em situação de vulnerabilidade psicossocial. Participaram 175 mulheres grávidas ou mães de crianças até 18 meses sinalizadas numa IPSS de apoio à maternidade em situação de vulnerabilidade psicossocial da zona norte de Portugal. Os resultados deste estudo evidenciaram a existência de associações entre o autoconceito, o suporte social percebido, a satisfação parental, a vivência psicológica da gravidez e a sintomatologia psicopatológica. Quanto à evolução temporal destas dimensões verificou-se que existiu diminuição no suporte social percebido e na sintomatologia psicopatológica do primeiro para o segundo momento temporal do estudo.
The transition to motherhood represents a period of challenges and biological, psychological and social changes in women’s lives. This change can become more challenging in social vulnerability, affecting women’s psychological experience of pregnancy and their well-being. The present study aimed to explore the psychological well-being of pregnant women or mothers in psychosocial vulnerability. This study considered two different temporal moments. 175 pregnant women and mothers of children up to 18 months participated in the study. It was developed in Portugal with the support of an Institution of Social Solidarity that supports maternity on vulnerable conditions. The results of this study showed the existence of associations between self-concept, perceived social support, parental satisfaction, the psychological experience of pregnancy and psychopathological symptoms. A decrease in the perceived social support and in psychopathological symptoms was also identified throughout the study moments.
