Impressões e sentimentos maternos sobre o relacionamento mãe-primogênito durante a gestação do segundo filho

O presente estudo investigou as impressões e sentimentos de mães sobre seu relacionamento com o primogênito durante a gestação do segundo filho. Participaram do estudo oito gestantes que se encontravam no último trimestre de gestação do segundo filho e possuíam um filho com idade entre três e seis anos. Todas residiam na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RS), eram casadas e o marido era o pai de seus dois filhos. As participantes responderam a uma entrevista sobre a gestação, a dinâmica familiar, o desenvolvimento do primogênito e a maternidade. Com base em uma análise de conteúdo qualitativa os relatos das gestantes foram agrupados em quatro categorias temáticas, a saber: o primogênito e a gestação materna, a maternidade no contexto da gestação do segundo filho, relacionamento mãe-primogênito e relacionamento pai-primogênito. Os resultados revelaram que a gestação do segundo filho traz às mães a necessidade de uma redefinição em seu papel e em sua relação com o primogênito Além de precisar voltar-se emocionalmente para o bebê, as restrições físicas características da gestação trouxeram limitações à sua interação com o primogênito, tanto em brincadeiras como nos cuidados diários. As diversas mudanças encontradas no comportamento do primogênito poderiam refletir uma busca por reaver a atenção e o estilo de interação desfrutado com a mãe até o momento e também indicam o surgimento do sentimento de rivalidade fraterna. Neste contexto, o primogênito passou a aceitar e solicitar mais o envolvimento de outras pessoas, em particular o pai. Destaca-se ainda o aumento no apoio fornecido pelos genitores ao primogênito. Os resultados sugerem a importância de programas de intervenção para pais envolvidos no processo de transição para o nascimento do segundo filho.

Nascimento de um filho :o significado para o pai

Qualitative study on the meaning of a child s birth to the father. Its general purpose was to comprehend the significance the man attaches to his child s birth and its specific objectives were to identify the man s feelings with regard to his child s birth as well as to verify his attitude toward a child s birth. The study was founded on the theoretical reference system about the man in the gravid-puerperal cycle and the humanization of the assistance. The data were obtained through semistructured interview performed with men accompanying their children s birth whose wives were in the immediate puerperium. This stage occurred in two maternity hospitals in Natal-RN, both of which adopt the principle of safe notherhood in the attendance of women in the process of parturition. The material apprehended from the statements was treated in conformity with the content analysis method in the mode of thematic analysis according to Bardin. Three thematic categories emerged from this process: the father s attitude toward his child s birth, the father s feelings in respect of his child s birth, and the informations received by the father in the course of his child s birth. The speech content was analyzed in accordance with the principles of symbolic interactionism according to Blumer. The results showed that the husbands interact with their respective wives and respond with attitudes of care, help, support, and encouragement within the principles of humanization intermingled with feelings of happiness, restlessness, and suffering leading them to appraise and exalt their consorts. Besides, we verified that the father s attitudes and feelings in the delivery room in the light of symbolic interactionism tend to be influenced by the interaction between him and the attending professionals

Ausência do pai ao longo do desenvolvimento ontogenético e indicadores de desconto de futuro: uma contribuição da psicologia evolucionista

The new Evolutionary Psychology (E. P.) paradigm has been trying to understand how the human beings make their decisions over time regarding the most diverse variables, always bearing in mind that such a cognitive process is due to a complex natural selection process that occurred millions of years ago. One of the main topics discussed by this new paradigm is the issue of parental investment, i.e., the care the parents provide to an offspring at the expense of the investment into a new one. The present work sought to integrate these two topics, trying to understand how some variables modulate the process of decision making in a sample of the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte state. It was investigated the hypothesis that the presence of both parents, along the individual development, could signal a more favorable environment, providing clues to the individual that he could assume a competitive position at the socio-biological market. His decisions, therefore, could be guided by long-term investments with aims to obtain more robust rewards. On the contrary, those who has suffered for some moment the absence of one the parents could develop theirselves in a not so competitive way, starting to choose immediate benefits - but lesser ones -, since the future would be less predictable due to their worse development conditions. This study involved 152 individuals from three higher education institutions, one of them being public and the others being private ones. In the results found, there was no difference between children of coupled parents and children of deceased or divorced parents concerning discount rates. The levels of hopelessness did not affect the discount rates of children of single parents when compared to children of coupled parents. Not having one of the parents because of divorce made the child to tend to present lower scores in the domain of social relations of WHOQOL - Bref, whilst the absence of the father by death made the scores lower in the domain of environment. The results indicate that loosing one of the parents along the development influences the individual's quality of life perception, but the measurement method of future discounting rates by means of financial choices is not sensitive to this variation
