Maternidades en cuestión : Modelos idílicos y prácticas de las madres en Argentina 1892-1936

Este artículo presenta un recorrido por los diversos estudios historiográficos de las mujeres y género que han abordado la problemática de la maternidad en Argentina. Al mismo tiempo, analiza las distintas perspectivas desde donde fue abordada, rescatando las tensiones entre los modelos idílicos de madre, que desde el Estado se intentaron instaurar, y las prácticas de las mujeres que fueron más allá de las normas y, a su vez, pusieron en cuestión esos modelos. Por último, se realiza un balance acerca de las problemáticas comunes intentando aportar algunas cuestiones para su abordaje

An investigation of the effects of mothers' participation in adult literacy classes on interactive literacy activities (ILAs) at home

The National Center for Family Literacy (2003a) and the National Even Start Association (2005) have stated that the single most effective and influential factor in increasing student academic achievement is parental involvement. The purpose of this qualitative study was to determine how participation in adult literacy courses influences parent-child interaction in various educationally related activities known as Interactive Literacy Activities (ILAs). This study investigated ILAs from the mothers? perspective, and examines the changes that occur in parental involvement or ILAs when immigrant parents of a limited educational background participate in an adult education program. The principal method of data collection was key informant interviews (Gall, Borg, & Gall, 1996). Other methods of data collection included observations of parent-child interactions and field observations. Data analysis methods included Memo-ing (Miles & Huberman, 1994), within case analysis and cross-case analysis. ^ Findings demonstrate that changes occurred in the parent-child relationship when mothers of a limited educational background participated in an adult literacy course. When participating in ILAs or English literacy activities related to second language acquisition (including reading and speaking for comprehension and pronunciation), the children of these mothers took on the role of the adult. Participation in literacy activities was often initiated by the child and the children were frequently concerned with their mother's literacy acquisition. Mothers reported that their children were more confident, worked harder on school related activities and were more open to communication. ^ It can be concluded from this study that, in the case of these immigrant families, a mother's participation in adult literacy classes is influential in the relationship between mother and child. These children participated in ILAs for the benefit of their mothers and initiated literacy activities more frequently. The children responded better to their parents during literacy activities because there was a positive change in the relationship between mother and child. The relationship between mother and child appeared to be strengthened by greater trust, a sense of pride and more communication. ^

A produção do cuidado no período gravídico-puerperal: experiência de mulheres usuárias de serviços públicos de saúde

Despite numerous government projects aimed at reorganizing and qualifying obstetric and neonatal care in Brazil, it remains problematic, with repercussions for maternal and newborn mortality and humanized care of both the mother and child. The objective of this study was to analyze the care provided to women during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle, based on reports of public health service users regarding their pregnancy and delivery experiences, using comprehensiveness and humanization as reference. The study applied a qualitative approach and the methodological strategy consisted of listening to the women, in order to identify, based on the meanings of their discourse concerning their experiences with health services, continuities and discontinuities of care during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle. Study participants were women who gave birth at a municipal public maternity, residents of Natal, Brazil, who at the time of the interviews, were between 10 and 42 days postpartum. Seven women reported their pregnancy and delivery experiences at public services. As interviews and observation took place, the material produced was also analyzed, in order to achieve simultaneous production and data analysis. Using systematization, a dialogue was established between the women’s discourses and production in the field of Collective Health, with respect to concepts and discussion about obstetric and neonatal care as well as the Comprehensiveness and Humanization of such care. Participant discourses underscored aspects related to prenatal care starting at pregnancy and its repercussions as well as prenatal monitoring by health services; aspects associated with care during labor and delivery, as well as those involved in postpartum in the maternity, both with respect to newborn and maternal careç and lastly, puerperium care after discharge from the maternity. Analysis of results sought to identify lines of continuity and discontinuity in the comprehensiveness and humanization of care. Based on these lines and as final contributions of the study, the following paths were proposed to achieve comprehensive and humanized production of health care for women during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle: Path 1- Reassess care in the maternal and newborn health network, aimed at comprehensiveness in terms of guaranteeing access to the various services and technological resources available to enhance health and life. Path 2- Reorganize work processes in order to attain comprehensive and humanized care for women in the pregnancy-puerperium cycle. Path 3 – Qualify the professional-user relationship in care management during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle. Path 4 – Invest in the qualification of communication processes in the different dimensions of care during the pregnancy-puerperium cycle.

Dificuldades na amamentação no 1º mês de vida : contextos sociodemográficos e psicológicos

Enquadramento: A amamentação nutre, protege e favorece o desenvolvimento cognitivo e a criação do vínculo afetivo entre mãe e filho. No entanto, há vários fatores que dificultam a manutenção da amamentação como os psicológicos, socioculturais, profissionais, nível de educação, ação dos profissionais de saúde entre outros. Objetivos: Determinar o perfil sociodemográfico das puérperas; identificar as dificuldades mais frequentes associadas à amamentação ao 7º e 30º dia após o nascimento; analisar a influência das variáveis sociodemográficas associadas às dificuldades na amamentação nos dois momentos de avaliação; avaliar a influência das atitudes maternas e a da vinculação pós-natal nas dificuldades associadas à amamentação nos dois momentos de avaliação. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo, longitudinal em painel de curta duração, descritivo-correlacional, numa amostra não probabilística por conveniência de 255 participantes (média de idades de 30,78 anos). Utilizou-se um questionário para caracterizar sociodemograficamente e os contextos de amamentação da amostra, a escala de atitudes maternas face à amamentação (Pereira, 2004) e a escala de vinculação pós-natal (Airosa, Silva & Bachu, 2012), versão portuguesa de Gomez e Leal (2007). Este foi aplicado às participantes em dois momentos (7º e 30º dias após o nascimento do bebé). Resultados: As participantes são maioritariamente casadas, com o ensino superior, empregadas em tempo completo e residentes na cidade. Quanto às dificuldades mais frequentes associadas à amamentação nos dois momentos de avaliação do estudo (7º e 30º dia de vida do bebé) verificamos que as dificuldades sentidas ao 7º dia se mantêm no 30º, predominando as fissuras (7.º dia 41.7%; 39.3% 30.º dia), as dificuldades na pega (7.º dia 28.8%; 31.9% 30.º dia), o ingurgitamento mamário (7.º dia 16.7%; 14.8% 30.º dia). Em relação à influência das variáveis sociodemográficas nas dificuldades associadas à amamentação ao 7º e 30º dia após o nascimento, apurou-se que as diferenças são estatisticamente significativas em relação à escolaridade (p=0,000), situação profissional (p=0,034) e local de residência (0,042), sugerindo que estas variáveis têm poder explicativo sobre as dificuldades sentidas na amamentação pelas mães nos dois momentos de avaliação. Nenhuma das dimensões relativas às atitudes maternas face à amamentação e à vinculação pós-natal se assumiu preditora das dificuldades associadas à amamentação. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que os enfermeiros, especialmente no âmbito da saúde materna, obstétrica e ginecológica, estejam mais despertos para as dificuldades que as mães possam ter na amamentação sobretudo no primeiro mês, considerado o mais crítico na adaptação ao aleitamento materno, de modo a conseguirem que estas ultrapassem essas complicações, evitando assim, o abandono precoce da amamentação. Palavra-chave: Amamentação, Atitudes Maternas, Vinculação pós-natal, Dificuldades na amamentação.

Avaliação do retinol em parturientes com diabetes mellitus gestacional no pós parto imediato

Micronutrient deficiencies affect individuals mainly in developing countries, where vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem worldwide more worrying, especially in groups with increased physiological needs such as children and women of reproductive age. Vitamin A is supplied to the body through diet and has an important role in the visual process, cell differentiation, maintenance of epithelial tissue, reproductive and resistance to infection. The literature has demonstrated the relationship between vitamin A and diabetes, including gestational, leading to a risk to both mother and child. Gestational diabetes is any decrease in glucose tolerance of variable magnitude diagnosed each the first time during pregnancy, and may or may not persist after delivery. Insulin resistance during pregnancy is associated with placental hormones, as well as excess fat. Studies have shown that retinol transport protein produced in adipose tissue in high concentrations, this would be associated with resistance by interfering with insulin signaling. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the concentration of retinol in serum and colostrum from healthy and diabetic mothers in the immediate postpartum period. One hundred and nine parturient women were recruited, representing seventy-three healthy and thirty-six diabetic. Retinol was extracted and subsequently analyzed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Among the results highlights the mothers with gestational diabetes were older than mothers healthy, had more children and a higher prevalence of cases of cesarean section. Fetal macrosomia was present in 1.4% of healthy parturient women and in 22.2% of diabetic mothers. The maternal serum retinol showed an average of 39.7 ± 12.5 mg/dL for healthy parturients 35.12 ± 15 mg/dL for diabetic and showed no statistical difference. It was observed that in the group of diabetic had 17% vitamin A deficiency, whereas in the healthy group, only 4% of the women were deficentes. Colostrum, the concentration of retinol in healthy was 131.3 ± 56.2 mg/dL and 125.3 ± 41.9 mg/dL in diabetic did not differ statistically. This concentration of retinol found in colostrum provides approximately 656.5 mg/day for infants born to healthy mothers and 626.5 mg/day for infants of diabetic mothers, based on a daily consumption of 500 mL of breast milk and need Vitamin A 400 mg/day, thus reaching the requirement of the infant. The diabetic mothers showed significant risk factors and complications related to gestational diabetes. Although no 11 difference was found in serum retinol concentration and colostrum among women with and without gestational diabetes, the individual analysis shows that parturients women with diabetes are 4.9 times more likely to develop vitamin A deficiency than healthy parturients. However, the supply of vitamin A to the newborn was not committed in the presence of gestational diabetes

Impact de trois interventions: méthode mère kangourou, massage en incubateur et massage en position kangourou sur la croissance et le développement des enfants prématurés nés à moins de 33 semaines d’âge gestationnel

Cette recherche vise à étudier l’impact d’interventions réalisées par les parents dans l’unité néonatale de soins intensifs. Plus spécifiquement, le premier objectif est de documenter les effets différentiels de la Méthode Mère Kangourou « MMK » accompagnée ou non du Massage en incubateur «MI » ou du Massage en Position Kangourou « MPK » et des Soins Traditionnels «ST » accompagnés ou non du massage dans l’incubateur sur la croissance physique mesurée par le poids, la taille et le périmètre crânien pendant une période de 5 et 15 jours dans l’unité néonatale et l’impact à 40 semaines d’âge gestationnel. Le second objectif est de comparer, chez des enfants qui bénéficient de la « MMK » la valeur ajoutée du « MPK » ou du «MI » sur le neuro-développement à 6 et 12 mois d’âge corrigé de l’enfant. Un échantillon total de 198 enfants et leur famille a été recruté de la façon suivante dans trois hôpitaux de Bogota. Dans chaque hôpital, 66 sujets ont été répartis aléatoirement à deux conditions. Ces hôpitaux ont été choisis afin de tester les effets de diverses conditions expérimentales et de diminuer les bais de sélection. Dans chaque hôpital, deux techniques ont été assignées aléatoirement. Il s’agit, dans le premier, de la « MMK & MPK » vs « MMK & MI ». Dans le second, « MMK sans massage » vs « MMK & MI ». Dans le troisième, « MI » a été comparé aux « ST » ce qui implique une absence de contact physique continu des bébés avec leurs parents. Les résultats rapportés dans le premier article sont à l’effet que, dans le premier hôpital, il y a un effet compensatoire de l’intervention « MMK & MPK » sur la perte physiologique du poids de l’enfant prématuré dans les 15 premiers jours de vie avec un impact sur le poids à 40 semaines d’âge gestationnel, sur la durée du portage kangourou et sur la durée d’hospitalisation totale. Aucun effet sur le périmètre crânien ou la taille n’est apparu. Dans le deuxième hôpital, aucune différence significative n’est rapportée pour le poids sauf quand l’intervention est commencée après le 10ième jours de vie alors que l’enfant « MPK» semble grossir mieux que le «MMK avec MI». Finalement, dans le troisième hôpital il n’y a aucun effet du massage sur les variables anthropométriques, le groupe avec MI grossissant moins vite avec un léger impact sur le poids à 40 semaines. Cela pourrait être dû à la perte de chaleur due à l’ouverture de l’incubateur quand l’enfant est très immature. Dans le second article, les 66 enfants de l’hôpital sont répartis aléatoirement dans le groupe « MMK & MPK» vs le groupe « MMK & MI», ont complété, à 6 et 12 mois d’âge corrigé, un test de neuro-développement, le Griffiths. Les résultats à 6 mois ne montrent aucune différence entre les 2 interventions, mais a 12 mois le IQ semble dépendant du nombre de jours d’hospitalisation de l’enfant, cette durée d’hospitalisation correspond au temps que met l’enfant à se stabiliser physiquement et correspond également au temps que mettent la mère et l’enfant à s’adapter à la méthode kangourou. Une fois, l’adaptation kangourou réussie, la dyade mère enfant sort avec l’enfant toujours en position kangourou. Le temps d’hospitalisation correspond au temps que met l’enfant à être éligible à l’apprentissage de la MMK par la mère. À 12 mois les deux groupes montrent des résultats équivalents, mais des différences positives sont apparues pour le groupe « MMK & MPK» dans les sous échelle Coordination Oculo Manuelle et Audition et Langage du test Griffiths. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats suggèrent que la pratique des deux interventions non traditionnelles peut contribuer à une meilleure croissance physique dans nos cohortes. Le gain de poids du bébé, notamment, est affecté par l’intervention MPK (Hôpital 1) ou sans l’ajout du Massage (Hôpital 2). Par ailleurs, le massage en incubateur n’a pas de différence significative en comparaison aux soins traditionnels, ces interventions ont toutefois un impact mineur (tendances) sur le neuro développement à 6 et 12 mois d’âge corrigé dans cette étude.

Empoderamento da puérpera para o sucesso no aleitamento materno

São muitas as vantagens do aleitamento materno para a mãe e recém-nascido, havendo consenso de que a sua prática exclusiva deve ser até aos seis meses de vida. A intervenção teve como objetivo empoderar a puérpera para o sucesso no aleitamento materno. Foram aplicados três questionários a duas populações-alvo: um aos enfermeiros do Serviço de Obstetrícia do Centro Hospitalar Barreiro-Montijo, Entidade Pública Empresarial e outros dois às puérperas, que permitiram a recolha de informações sobre os conhecimentos dos enfermeiros acerca das práticas no aleitamento materno e da perceção das puérperas, quanto aos cuidados recebidos durante o internamento. Os resultados apontaram para a necessidade de formação dos enfermeiros sobre o aleitamento materno e a necessidade de empoderamento/acompanhamento no pós-parto. Desenvolveram-se atividades formativas e educacionais, quer para os profissionais, quer para as puérperas. A intervenção profissional revelou-se benéfica para a melhoria contínua dos cuidados de enfermagem na promoção do aleitamento materno exclusivo; EMPOWERMENT OF POSTPARTUM WOMEN FOR SUCCESSFUL BREASTFEEDING ABSTRACT: Breastfeeding presents several advantages to the mother and child, being generally agreed that its practice should be exclusive until six months of age. The goal of this intervention was to empower the puerpera towards breastfeeding success. Three questionnaires were applied to two populations: one to the nurses from the Obstetric Department of the Centro Hospitalar Barreiro-Montijo, Entidade Pública Empresarial and other two to puerperas, which allowed collection of information on the nurses’ knowledge about breastfeeding practices and the puerperas’ perception on received care during hospitalization. The results demonstrated the nurses’ need of training on breastfeeding and the need of empowerment/follow-up during the post-partum period. Educational and training activities, directed to professionals and puerperas, were developed. The professional intervention demonstrated benefits to the improvement of the nursing care in the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding.
