Percepção da amamentação em mães pediatras

Objetivo: Investigar as significações sobre amamentação e a prática do aleitamento materno em mães pediatras de uma cidade de médio porte da Região Centro-Oeste que praticaram o aleitamento materno e as causas de desmame envolvidas. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com abordagem qualitativa, composto por 10 médicas pediatras que são mães e amamentaram seus filhos. As respostas foram analisadas por meio da análise hermenêutico-dialética, objetivada por Minayo. Resultados: Observou-se por meio dos resultados obtidos que as mães pediatras compartilham com as mulheres em geral as alegrias e dificuldades no processo de amamentação, fortalecendo a visão do aleitamento materno além do fenômeno biológico, mas permeado pela cultura, pelos aspectos individuais, emocionais e vivenciais de cada mulher, os quais atuam de forma significativa na decisão e no sucesso da amamentação. Conclusão: As pediatras voluntárias no estudo demonstraram conhecimento e motivação para amamentar, ao mesmo tempo em que reconhecem as dificuldades impostas à mulher, as quais, muitas vezes, inclusive no grupo estudado, culminam no desmame precoce
