ABSTRACT
Este estudo avalia a relação entre apoio social e depressão pós-parto em puérperas no primeiro mês de vida do bebê. Participaram 77 puérperas divididas em dois grupos. O grupo clínico foi composto por 39 mães com níveis de sintomatologia depressiva consideráveis segundo o Inventário Beck de Depressão (BDI). O grupo não-clínico foi formado por 38 mães com níveis mínimos segundo esse instrumento. As mães também responderam à Escala de Apoio Social do Medical Outcomes Study. Diferenças significativas foram encontradas entre os grupos em todos os fatores que compõem o instrumento de apoio social. As mães do grupo clínico obtiveram escores menores de apoio social quando comparadas às mães do grupo não-clínico, mostrando coerência com os achados da literatura

La lactancia materna tiene beneficios para la salud del recién nacido y de la madre. Sin embargo, algunas mujeres con diagnóstico de Diabetes Mellitus (DM) o Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG), adoptan la actitud de seleccionar la lactancia materna mixta. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar las actitudes que tienen influencia sobre el acto de amamantar de un grupo de puérperas con diagnóstico de DM en la Unidad de Diabetes y Embarazo de la Ciudad Hospitalaria Dr. Enrique Tejera. La metodología de tipo cuantitativa de diseño correlacional, de campo donde la población y muestra estuvo constituida por 40 puérperas, que representó 100% a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario con alternativas de respuestas tipo Likert cuya validez se realizó a través de juicio de expertos y la confiabilidad obtenida por el Alfa de Cronbach de 0.979. Resultando 52,5% al grupo de madres de 20 a 29 años, 67,5% presentaron Diabetes Gestacional, 65% de las puérperas prefirieron la lactancia materna exclusiva, mientras 35% se decidieron por la lactancia materna mixta. No se encontró diferencias estadísticas significativas (p<0,005) entre las variables. Concluimos que las actitudes y conocimiento sobre la DM y su tratamiento favorecen la lactancia materna exclusiva en puérperas.
Breastfeeding provides health benefits to both the newborn and the mother. However some women diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus (DM.) or gestational DM (DMG) will adopt mixed lactation. The purpose of this research was to determine the attitudes that have an influence on the act of breastfeeding in puerperal mothers diagnosed with DM or DMG during pregnancy at the Diabetes and Pregnancy Unit of the Dr. Enrique Tejera Hospital City in Valencia, Venezuela. This quantitive correlational field study had a sample of 40 puerperal women which represented 100%. A Likert scale tool was used for data collection. Validity was obtained by experts opinion, and reliability by an Alpha Cronbach of 0.979. 52.5% of puerperal mothers were aged 20-29, 67.5% were diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, 65% favored exclusive breastfeeding, and 35% mixed feeding. No significant differences were found between the variables. We conclude that attitudes and knowledge regarding ODM and its treatment favor exclusive breastfeeding in puerperal mothers.
