Abstract(s)
Para além dos desafios enfrentados nos próprios diagnósticos de perturbações do
comportamento alimentar, e do foco crescente das investigações na experiência do casal grávido,
os estudos têm vindo a incidir igualmente no período fértil das mulheres com perturbações do
comportamento alimentar, designadamente na gravidez. Esta revisão de literatura visa abordar os
processos envolvidos nas perturbações do comportamento alimentar no período gravídico,
nomeadamente no que respeita às vivências subjectivas das mulheres grávidas e dos seus
companheiros. Apesar da escassez de estudos sobre a sua experiência neste período, sobretudo
relativos às vivências dos intervenientes, é visível a variedade de respostas das grávidas que
tiveram alguma perturbação do comportamento alimentar na sua história de vida. Para além da
prevalência e dos riscos associados a estas perturbações para a grávida e para o bebé, analisa-se
igualmente a precipitação, melhoria, manutenção ou agravamento de sintomas associados a
perturbações do comportamento alimentar e possíveis factores envolvidos. Aborda-se, finalmente,
a importância na avaliação e intervenção dos técnicos de saúde.
ABSTRACT: In addition to the challenges faced in the diagnose of eating disorders, and the increasing focus of research on the experience of the pregnant couple, studies have been also centered in the fertile period of women with eating disorders, particularly in pregnancy. This literature review aims to attempt the processes involved in eating disorders in the pregnancy period, in particular as regards the subjective experiences of pregnant women and their partners. Despite the shortage of studies on their experience in this period, particularly concerning experiences of stakeholders, there’s a large variety of responses in pregnant women that had some eating disorder in their lives. In addition to the prevalence and risks associated with such disruptions to women and babies, we also analyze the precipitation, improvements, maintenance or worsening of symptoms associated with eating disorders and possible factors involved. We approach also the importance of assessment and interventions of the health professionals.
