The Lived Experience of Addicts Women in Postpartum Period
Keywords:
Women, Addition, Maternity, PhenomenologyAbstract
Introduction: Motherhood is one of the most striking events is critical in the lives of women. More or less desirable, more or less planned, be a mother is of such particularity that health professionals should be especially attentive.
Methods: We performed a phenomenological and interpretative study. The participants were selected intentionally. Held 14 phenomenological interviews with an unstructured approach. We use procedural assumptions of Van Manen (1990) for data analysis.
Results: The findings indicate to us that the women participating in our study percecionam intentional ability to care for their children, associating a strong connection and attachment to their children, making them feel as mothers. If the past life history is still very present in these women, there is as a need to forget it, allowing them to have the ability to project themselves in the future. Referring often the social stigma they carry in relation to the ability to be ‘good’ mothers, these women seem to yearn for greater support either by professionals or by the institutions.
Conclusions: We conclude that seems to be determining the development of support programs and intervention projects with these women, with a view to rehabilitation and training.
