Rooming-in experience: feelings, needs and expectations referred by living-in mothers

Resumos

Este trabalho, realizado para atender uma motivação pessoal da autora, teve como finalidade a de encontrar elementos que permitissem melhorar a assistência à mãe acompanhante em nosso meio. A população constou de mães que acompanhavam seus filhos internados em duas unidades pediátricas que apresentavam sistema de internação conjunta de características diferentes, bem como diferenças quanto ao tipo de patologia assistida. Os dados foram colhidos por meio de entrevista, utilizando-se um formulário com perguntas abertas. Verificou-se que as mães acompanhantes sentem mais mal-estar do que bem-estar no hospital e que elas justificam seu mal-estar principalmente através de uma gama de razões relacionadas à situação hospitalar; que a principal nececessidade das mães na situação estudada é dar cuidados ao filho, além de apresentarem necessidades como informações; que as mães acompanhantes esperam contatos pessoais da equidpe hospitalar e que o pessoal hospitalar dê assistência às crianças. Constatou-se também uma grande variedade de motivos determinando tanto as necessidades quanto as expectativas das mães, motivos esses que evidenciam a individualidade das mães e dos significados únicos que a experiência de acompanhar um filho hospitalizado têm para cada uma delas.


This work had the finality of searching elements to improve the living-in mothers assistance in our hospitals. The population under study included accompanying mothers in two different pediatric units. The differences between the two units were with respect to room accomodations for mothers and stipulations as to the type of disease pathology being treated. The data was collected by way of interviews in which a questionnaire of open questions was used. Results showed that the rooming-in mothers of the sample felt more discomfort than confort in the hospital, due to many different aspects of the hospital situation; the principal need of the studied mothers was to be able to give care to their children, while others needs related to receiving information about their child's condition. The living-in mothers expected to have personal contact with the hospital health team while the hospital personnel would be giving assistance to the children. Many reasons were given for the varying needs and expectations of the rooming-in mothers, showing the individuality of these women and the different ways in which a living-in experience affect different mothers.
