Resumo: This study aimed to assess the experience of mothers of premature infants and understand the repercussions of prematurity on both the motherhood experience and the formation of the mother-child bond. A qualitative research was carried out based on the content analysis of questionnaires completed by 28 mothers whose babies were admitted to Intensive Care Unit. The Attachment Theory was used as theoretical foundation. Two types of motherhood representations were pointed out and associated with caregiving behaviors. The potent motherhood representation wa characterized by the mother's perception of the efficiency of the caregiving system. This representation reveals the existence of healthy coping strategies, which reflects positively on the mother-child bond. The impotent motherhood representation indicates the difficulty of integrating the experience of prematurity with motherhood, which interferes in the caregiving behavior. The conclusion was thq c6ping with the crisis caused by prematurity requires a psychological internal change, so ttiat the experience, which can remain in an active state for a long time, is elaborated. If non¬elaborated, the experience of prematurity may affect the healthy functioning of both the caregiving and attachment systems. The individual ability t? find mea!1ing and . I elaborate experiences was emphasized. It was observed that the participants had their internal working models of caregiving and coping with adversities expanded and enhanced. Interventions by health prof ssionals in this population should focus on the coping and elaboration processes, as well as on the risk and protective factors of the premature motherhood experience
