MOTHERS’ PERCEPTION OF THEIR CHILDREN’S DIAGNOSIS WITH TYPE ONE DIABETES MELLITUS

A criança/adolesce com Diabetes Mellitus requer apoio, compreensão, confiança e proteção da mãe, o que facilita a adesão ao tratamento, contribuindo para a qualidade de vida durante a evolução da doença. Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a percepção das mães frente ao diagnóstico de diabetes do filho. A metodologia utilizada foi exploratória, descritiva e qualitativa, empregando a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. A análise evidenciou que as mães apresentam sentimentos oscilantes de luto durante as crises e, no momento da descoberta do diagnóstico, entram em desespero. A preocupação das mães refere-se às ocorrências constantes de descompensação, que traduzem a falta de equilíbrio da situação metabólica, gerando maior possibilidade do filho desenvolver complicações. A busca de informações e adaptação da rotina familiar visam proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida à criança/adolescente.A child with Diabetes Mellitus needs their mother’s support, comprehension, confidence and protection, which facilitates compliance with treatment, contributing to quality of life during the progression of the illness.

PERCEPCIÓN DE LA FIGURA PATERNA DELANTE DEL AMAMANTAMIENTO MATERNO

Considering the importance of breastfeeding, the necessity arose of investigating the fathers’ participation in, and perception of, breastfeeding. This exploratory-descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out in the Frei Damião Maternity Hospital in the county of João Pessoa-PB with ten fathers in April 2011. It was observed that the majority of the fathers were quite interested in and committed to carrying out this new task of helping their wives, as they knew the advantages of breastfeeding. Some of them however did not have this knowledge and equally did not include themselves in breastfeeding, saying it was a moment for the mother and baby alone. There is a necessity for fathers to be included in health education activities taking place in the pre- and post-birth periods and those which follow in child-rearing, as caring for a baby is the responsibility of the couple.Considerando la importancia del amamantamiento materno surgió la necesidad de investigar la participación y la percepción de los padres delante de la práctica del amamantamiento materno. Investigación del tipo exploratorio-descriptiva con abordaje cualitativa, realizada en la Maternidad Frei Damião, en municipio de João Pessoa,PB, con 10 padres en abril de 2011. Se ha observado que la mayoría de los padres se mostraron muy interesados y empeñados en efectuar esa nueva tarea de auxiliar las esposas, pues conocían las ventajas del amamantamiento materno. Sin embargo algunos de ellos no tenían ese conocimiento y tampoco se incluían en esta práctica, afirmando ser un momento sólo de la madre y del bebé. Existe la necesidad de inserir la figura paterna en las actividades de educación en salud desarrolladas durante el prenatal y el puerperio, y las que se siguen en la puericultura, una vez que los cuidados con el bebé son de responsabilidad de la pareja.Considerando a importância do Aleitamento Materno surgiu a necessidade de investigar a participação e a percepção dos pais diante da prática do Aleitamento Materno.
