Resumo

Este estudo qualitativo utilizou a Análise Fenomenológica Interpretativa para examinar as experiências de depressão pós-parto (DPP) vivenciadas por mães solo. A pesquisa destacou os desafios enfrentados pelas participantes, que conciliavam a maternidade solo com os estudos; as participantes eram estudantes de um campus satélite. Por meio de uma amostragem intencional e da técnica de "bola de neve" (snowball sampling), foram identificadas 15 jovens mães solo, com um a três filhos. Nem todas haviam recebido um diagnóstico ou tratamento para a DPP. As mães solo relataram diferentes sintomas de depressão pós-parto, incluindo insegurança, tendência ao choro, irritabilidade, sintomas físicos, autoculpa, autolesão, comportamentos irracionais, sensação de desistência, isolamento e ideação suicida. Segundo os relatos, os sintomas de DPP podem decorrer das mudanças abruptas em suas vidas após a chegada dos filhos. As estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) mais frequentemente utilizadas por essas mães foram aquelas focadas na emoção, no problema e na religiosidade. Pesquisas futuras deveriam investigar mais a fundo esses métodos de enfrentamento. Este estudo oferece uma compreensão teórica das experiências de depressão pós-parto e dos mecanismos de enfrentamento adotados por mães solo.
