Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como tema “A Experiência de Ser Mãe na Prisão”, sendo o seu
principal objetivo descrever e compreender a experiência subjetiva das mães que
desempenham o seu papel maternal num contexto prisional. A metodologia aplicada neste
estudo insere-se na utilização do Método Fenomenológico de Amadeo Giorgi, com o intuito
de estudar os fenómenos intencionais vividos pelos diferentes indivíduos e alcançar uma
descrição final com os constituintes essenciais e invariáveis desta experiência subjetiva. A
amostra é constituída por quatro mães reclusas, com idades compreendidas entre os 26 e 37
anos, que se encontram a cumprir pena de prisão no pavilhão “Casa das Mães” do
Estabelecimento Prisional de Tires, e que têm os seus filhos, com idades compreendidas entre
1 e 3 anos, a viver consigo na prisão. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam que a
experiência de ser mãe em contexto prisional envolve uma diversidade de sentimentos e
cognições, alguns negativos, tais como a perceção das dificuldades, a impotência/frustração, a
vulnerabilidade psicológica e o arrependimento/culpabilidade, e outros positivos, tais como a
proteção/sentimento pessoal de capacidade para desenvolver o papel de mãe, o suporte
familiar, a satisfação face ao estabelecimento prisional e o crescimento pessoal/efeito
suavizante da experiência prisional.
