Enquadramento: Com as recentes mudanças a nível legal, social, científico-tecnológico,
político e ético que vieram reformular o conceito da família, torna-se fundamental compreender
certas questões que dizem respeito exclusivamente a estas novas famílias constituídas por
conceção artificial com recurso a dador. Objetivos: (1) compreender o processo de gestão da
revelação da forma de conceção aos filhos nas famílias que recorreram a procedimentos de
conceção artificial com recurso a dador (PMA ou inseminação artificial caseira); (2) explorar
as representações psicológicas dos pais/mães em relação ao dador nas famílias
supramencionadas. Método: A amostra é constituída por sete famílias portuguesas compostas
por pais e mães cisgénero (13 mães e 1 pai) que recorreram a procedimentos de conceção
artificial com dador, com idades compreendidas entre os 37 e os 49 anos de idade (M=42,3;
DP=4,3). Estas sete famílias realizaram oito procedimentos de conceção artificial com dador
que resultaram no nascimento de oito filhos com idades compreendidas entre 1 e 17 anos de
idade (M=7,4; DP=5,5). Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas em formato online. A
análise foi feita à luz da análise temática reflexiva de Braun e Clarke. Resultados: As
descobertas revelaram que estas as famílias sentiram dificuldades práticas e psicológicas no que
respeita: (1) a vivências exigidas pela transição para a parentalidade através de conceção
artificial com recurso a dador; (2) à gestão da revelação da forma de conceção e da identidade
do dador aos filhos; (3) à representação, feita pelos pais, do dador e aos sentimentos
relacionados com relação a este. Conclusões: Parece existir uma tendência para que a revelação
da forma de conceção aos filhos seja feita ao encontro daquilo que a literatura sugere como mais
adequado; existência de sentimentos ambivalentes com relação ao dador; tendência para
representar dador enquanto pessoa e como parte de um procedimento médico; dador não é pai
e dadora não é mãe. São discutidas as limitações do presente estudo e sugeridos estudos futuros.
Palavras-chave: dador; conceção artificial com recurso a dador; gestão da revelação do
segredo; representação do dador.
Background: With recent changes at legal, social, scientific-technological, political and ethical levels that have reformulated the concept of family, it is essential to understand certain issues that exclusively concern these new families formed by artificial conception using a donor. Objectives: (1) understand the management process of disclosing the form of conception to children in families that resorted to artificial conception procedures using a donor (PMA or home artificial insemination); (2) explore the psychological representations of fathers/mothers in relation to the donor in the above-mentioned families. Method: The sample included the participation of seven Portuguese families composed of cisgender fathers and mothers (13 mothers and 1 father) who resorted to artificial conception procedures with a donor, aged between 37 and 49 years old (M=42.3; SD=4.3). These seven families underwent eight artificial conception procedures with a donor that resulted in the birth of eight children aged between 1 and 17 years old (M=7.4; SD=5.5). Semi-structured interviews were carried out in an online format. The analysis was carried out considering Braun and Clarke's reflective thematic analysis. Results: The findings revealed that these families experienced practical and psychological difficulties regarding: (1) the experiences required by the transition to parenthood through artificial conception using a donor; (2) managing the disclosure of the form of conception and the identity of the donor to the children; (3) the representation, made by the parents, of the donor and the feelings related to this. Conclusions: There seems to be a tendency for the disclosure of the form of conception to children to be made in line with what the literature suggests as most appropriate; existence of ambivalent feelings towards the donor; tendency to represent donor as a person and as part of a medical procedure; A donor is not a father, and a donor is not a mother. The limitations of the present study are discussed, and future studies are suggested.
