Problema: Perante uma sociedade dinâmica, fruto de alterações e transformações no papel da mulher em relação à gravidez e a todo o seu processo inerente, denotam-se consequências na sua organização psicológica das quais emerge uma necessidade, também ela recorrente, de aprofundarmos um conjunto de questões intrínsecas a estes processos. Objetivo: O presente estudo assume como objetivo aceder, através de narrativas, à identificação, descrição e compreensão das representações maternas de grávidas que se encontram no terceiro trimestre de gravidez. Método: Esta investigação enquadra-se numa metodologia qualitativa, de natureza descritiva e exploratória. A amostra é caraterizada por 10 grávidas de nacionalidade portuguesa (6 primíparas e 4 multíparas), com uma média de idades de 32 anos e que se encontram no terceiro trimestre de gravidez. Como materiais de estudo foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e uma entrevista semiestruturada designada por Interview of Maternal Representations during Pregnancy – Revised Version (IRMAG-R, Ammaniti & Tambelli, 2010), da qual se procedeu a uma análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Criaram-se sete categorias de análise - conteúdos representativos; conteúdos percetivos de relação; conteúdos percetivos de mudança; conteúdos afetivos; conteúdos fantasiosos; conteúdos referenciadores e conteúdos comparativos. Os conteúdos enquadraram-se como parte componente da representação que a grávida desenvolve, de forma diferenciada, sobre si enquanto mãe e sobre o seu filho. Tanto no plano percetual como no plano imaginário as representações sobre o bebé apresentaram maior expressividade. A sua representação enquanto mãe assumiu uma maior prevalência no plano fatual, observando-se uma tendência elevada da grávida em diferenciar-se da sua mãe no que diz respeito às suas caraterísticas e ao que ambiciona para o seu papel materno. Entre outros resultados, concluiu-se a presença um envolvimento afetivo predominantemente positivo que nos reflete a existência de uma relação entre a mãe e o bebé.
ABSTRACT: Problem: In a dynamic society, characterized by changes and transformations in the women´s role related to the pregnancy and all its inherent process, consequences in its psychological organization are identified, which of a necessity emerges, also recurrent it, to deepen a set of intrinsic questions about these processes. Objective: The present study assumes as objective to access, through narratives, the identification, description and understanding of the representations maternal of pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Method: This inquiry fits in a qualitative methodology of descriptive and exploratory nature. The sample is characterized by 10 pregnant of Portuguese nationality (6 primiparous and 4 multiparous), with an average of 32 years old and that are in the third trimester of pregnancy. As study material, a social and demographic questionnaire as well as a semi structuralized interview were used, referred as Interview of Maternal Representations during Pregnancy - Revised Version (IRMAG-R, Ammaniti & Tambelli, 2010), from which proceeded to a content analysis. Results: Seven categories of analysis were created - representative contents; perceptive contents of relation; perceptive contents of change; affective contents; fanciful contents; contents; comparative and reference contents. The contents fit as component party of the representation that the pregnant woman develops, of differentiated form, on herself as a mother and about her son. As much in the perceptual as in the imaginary plan the representations concerning the baby presented greater expression. Its representation as a mother assumed a bigger prevalence in the factual plan, observing as a high trend, a differentiation of herself from her mother in what concerns the characteristics and ambitions for the maternal role. Among others results, it was concluded the existence of an predominantly positive affective involvement which reflects the existence of a relationship between the mother and baby.
