Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho foi realizado no âmbito da Dissertação de Mestrado: “Gravidez e
parto acompanhados por uma doula: Experiência e Satisfação”, com o objectivo de dar a
conhecer o trabalho desempenhado por uma doula no decorrer da gravidez e parto.
A gravidez é um período de espera, reflexão e expectativa, no qual se vai construindo
um projecto de parentalidade. Apesar de modificar o equilíbrio familiar é um momento único,
na medida em que exige uma reestruturação de papéis e uma adaptação à futura condição de
pais, sendo inclusivamente considerada por alguns autores como um período de crise na vida
da mulher, devido às modificações bio-psico-sócio-axiológicas que a ela estão inerentes.
O acompanhamento provido por uma doula durante a gravidez revela-se de extrema
importância, na medida em que auxilia a mulher a lidar com as modificações inerentes a este
período e elucida-a sobre o que esperar do momento do parto, criando expectativas realistas
sobre o mesmo. A sua presença transmite conforto, calma e segurança à mulher durante a
gravidez, parto e pós-parto.
A doula enfatiza a força inata de cada mulher para lidar com o momento do parto e ao
defender a humanização deste momento, contribui para que este seja relembrado ao longo de
toda a vida como uma experiência única.
ABSTRACT: This thesis is related with the Master Degree Dissertation “Pregnancy and delivery followed by a doula: an experience and satisfaction”, to show the work done by a doula during pregnancy and delivery. Pregnancy is a waiting period, for reflection and made of expectations, in which the process of parenthood is built. Although it changes family balance, it is a unique moment which demands a readaptation of family roles and an adaptation for the new/unexperienced parents. Pregnancy is also considered a period of crisis in a woman’s life by many authors, due to bio-psycho-social-axiologic changes that are related to it. The work done by a doula during pregnancy is of extreme importance, because it helps women dealing with the changes inherent to this period / time of their lives and makes it clearer for them about the waiting time until delivery, thus creating realistic expectations about it. The presence of a doula transmits comfort, calmness and security to women, during pregnancy, delivery and after delivery. A doula emphasizes the inner strength of a woman to deal with the moment of delivery. By contributing to the humanization of this moment, she becomes a strong contribution to make this a once in a life time experience, to be recalled for the rest of her life.
