Abstract(s)
Problema: O presente estudo parte da necessidade de perceber quais as representações que,
mulheres grávidas têm acerca da sua gravidez, uma vez que a informação que se tem sobre a
temática corresponde apenas à literatura da prática clínica. Objectivo: Aceder às
representações das grávidas do segundo trimestre, verificando se estas correspondem às
descritas na literatura ou emergem outras categorias. Método: Consiste numa investigação
qualitativa exploratória descritiva, através da Entrevista Semi-Estruturada IRMAG-R
(Interview of Maternal Representations during Pregnancy – Revised Version) e do
questionário sócio-demográfico construído para o efeito, com uma amostra de 26 grávidas
portuguesas do segundo trimestre de gravidez, com uma média de idades de 34 anos.
Resultados: A representação da grávida enquanto futura mãe é estruturada essencialmente
por uma dimensão factual, enquanto a representação do futuro filho é baseada numa dimensão
de emergência de fantasias. As principais mudanças são a nível físico, caracterizando-se pelos
distúrbios típicos da gravidez e pela mudança da rotina, pois nesta fase, existem grandes
alterações corporais. O envolvimento afetivo caracteriza-se pela presença da temática das
preocupações e pela vivência da gravidez, não existindo indicadores de fantasias referentes ao
parto. Nas grávidas multíparas, a diferenciação das gravidezes anteriores é bastante evidente,
contudo, existe uma maior dificuldade em pensar o bebé de modo diferente dos outros filhos.
Concluindo, os resultados obtidos vão ao encontro do mencionado na literatura, à exceção das
mudanças ao nível do relacionamento do casal, onde se verificam menos citações nesse
sentido.
