RESUMEN
El objetivo de este estudio es comprender los significados que sobre la maternidad tienen los actores sociales (mujeres embarazadas y personal de salud) dentro del programa prenatal de un centro de salud en la ciudad de Popayán, Colombia, programa implementado como estrategia para prevenir y manejar en forma oportuna las complicaciones obstétricas y perinatales. Para ello, se realizó una investigación cualitativa basada en entrevistas y observación de las actividades educativas colectivas. Entre los hallazgos, se encontraron discrepancias entre los actores sociales respecto de los significados de la maternidad, debido al conocimiento biomédico y a las relaciones de poder, aunque también vinculadas a los referentes culturales particulares. Estas discrepancias no reconocidas afectan la pertinencia del programa para responder a las necesidades y características socioculturales de las mujeres embarazadas.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study is to understand the meanings of motherhood for different social actors (pregnant women and health personnel) within the prenatal care program of a health center in the city of Popayán, Colombia, a program developed as a strategy for the prevention and treatment of obstetric and perinatal complications. In order to uncover these meanings, a qualitative research study was carried out using interviews with social actors and observation of collective educational activities. Discrepancies were observed among social actors about the meanings of motherhood, owing to the influence of biomedical knowledge and the differences in power relations, as well as to particular cultural referents. The lack of recognition of these discrepancies affects the program's capacity to respond to the needs and socio-cultural characteristics of the pregnant women it serves.
