Abstract(s)
As mães dos bebés com uma vinculação segura apresentam representações mais positivas da gravidez, parto, pós-parto e futuro. Com efeito, a maioria das mães lembra-se vividamente destas experiências. Estes dados indicam que os períodos pré, peri e pós-natal tem um impacto profundo na construção da parentalidade e da relação mãe-filho (é a origem). Contudo, sabemos pouco sobre esta experiência para os pais (homens). Como perspetivam os pais estes primeiros três períodos na paternidade (pré, peri e pós-natal)?
Neste âmbito, o presente estudo teve como objetivo descrever e comparar as representações maternas e paternas. Para o efeito, foi realizada uma entrevista semiestruturada nas primeiras 72 horas após o nascimento dos bebés. A amostra é composta por 184 participantes (92 mães e 92 pais de bebés de termo). A entrevista incluía os seguintes temas: gravidez, parto, nascimento, maternidade, temperamento e futuro desenvolvimento do bebé. Os resultados indicaram que os pais e as mães apresentam semelhanças e diferenças relativamente às suas representações acerca da gravidez, parto e pós-parto. Relativamente à gravidez, mães e pais exprimiram o desejo pela gravidez, planearam-na e sentiram-se apoiados neste percurso. Os pais ao longo da gravidez estiveram mais tranquilos do que as mães, em relação à saúde do bebé. Relativamente às emoções e sentimentos pelo/ filho/a, as mães identificam amor pelo bebé mais cedo e ambos consideram que o seu bebé tem um temperamento calmo. Os pais mais do que as mães acham que vai correr bem cuidar dos seus filhos após a alta. Os pais foram mais otimistas em relação às suas competências. O presente estudo reforça a importância do papel paterno e a necessidade de envolver pai e mãe no processo da gravidez, parto e pós-parto conjuntamente e apoiá-los de acordo com as suas singularidades.
Abstract: Mothers of infants with secure attachments present more positive representations of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and the future. Indeed, most mothers vividly remember these experiences. These data indicate that the pre-, peri-, and postnatal periods profoundly impact the construction of parenthood and the mother-child relationship (it is the origin). However, we know little about this experience for fathers (men). How do first-time fathers view these three periods in fatherhood (pre-, peri-, and postnatal)? In this context, the present study aimed to describe and compare maternal and paternal representations. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview was conducted within the first 72 hours after the newborn's birth. The sample comprises 184 participants (92 mothers and 92 fathers of full-term newborns). The interview included the following topics: pregnancy, childbirth, birth, motherhood, temperament, and future development of their infant. The results indicated that fathers and mothers present similarities and differences regarding their representations of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Regarding pregnancy, mothers and fathers expressed the desire for pregnancy, planned it, and felt supported throughout this journey. Fathers were calmer than mothers throughout the pregnancy regarding the baby's health. Concerning emotions and feelings towards the child, mothers identify love for the baby earlier, and both consider their newborn to have a calm temperament. More than mothers, fathers think that caring for their children after discharge will go well. Fathers were more optimistic about their competencies. The present study reinforces the importance of the paternal role, the need to involve both father and mother in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, and the need to offer them professional individual support.
