Resumo: |
The expression “Doula” derives from Greek “servant-woman”. The work is to give physical and emotional support to pregnant women before, during and after childbirth. As times goes by, families diminish and contact with more experienced women has been gradually lost. The assistance given to pregnant women was then provided by the medical team both physically and emotionally. However, the need for someone to assist the well-being of mothers in a personalized way has come up and this gap can and must be filled by a doula. The goal of this paper was to evaluate a model of an intervention-research with doulas which have assisted women before and after childbirth. This research is descriptive and qualitative. In order to reach this goal, a method consisting of eight-weekly group encounters, two hours each, was used. The themes discussed were based on scientific evidence: the bond between the mother and her baby, couple relationship, women as mothers and professionals, childbirth, puerperium, postpartum depression, practicalities and the Blessing Shower and a second stage with one group encounter after birth. With five pregnant women, between 18 and 36 years of age, all of them residents in the town of Aparecida-SP. The results of this study, although not generalizable, suggested that the participants who experienced the intervention with a Doula presented better self-stem and lower levels of postpartum depression when compared to those who didn’t experience the intervention. Although this work has been an exploratory study, with a reduced number of participants, results suggest that the reproduction of this model in other groups, besides benefitting other pregnant women, can add reliability and trustworthiness to these data, increasing the understanding of the impact this activity can have is these people. |
