RESUMO
Objetivou-se no presente estudo analisar a estrutura representacional da microcefalia, bem como da autoimagem que mães de crianças com tal condição neurológica possuem. Participaram da pesquisa 105 brasileiras com idades entre 20 e 50 anos (M=31; DP=7,32), que moram, maioritariamente, na região Sudeste do Brasil (39,0%). Para recolha de dados, em 2018, foi utilizado a Técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras. Análises prototípicas do material coletado demonstraram que as participantes constroem suas representações sobre a microcefalia com base no conhecimento científico, a descrevendo, ainda, através de signos que se referem à espiritualidade e ao amor. No que diz respeito à autoimagem dos participantes, foi possível perceber elementos que remetem-se a resiliência, além de outros fatores associados a características auto-transcendentes. As representações identificadas revelam processos adaptativos, a partir da alocação de recursos resilientes que permitem com que as participantes deste estudo ressignifiquem sua condição de mães de crianças com microcefalia.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to analyze the representational structure of microcephaly, as well as the self-image that mothers of children with the illness possess. There were 105 Brazilian women, aged between 20 and 50 (M=31; SD=7.32), who live, mostly, in the south-eastern region of Brazil (39.0%). For data acquisition, in 2018, it was used the Free Word Association Technique. Prototypical analyses of the collected material demonstrated that the participants build their representations upon microcephaly based on scientific knowledge, also describing it using signs that refer to spirituality and love. When it comes to the participants' self-image, it was possible to notice elements that support the feature resilience and other factors that are associated with self transcending characteristics. The identified representations reveal adaptive processes, based on the allocation of resilient resources that allow the participants from this study to give a different meaning of being a mother of a child with microcephaly.
