Abstract:

Mothers of children with Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) experience many challenges. Through this reality, the availability of social support can function as an important protective factor. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the role of informal and formal social support in mental health, parental self-efficacy and satisfaction with the life of mothers of children with CZS. Take part in this study sixty-nine mothers of childrenwith CZS (M = 26.4 years; SD = 6.23) living in the state of Ceará, Brazil. They answered the Social Support Satisfaction Scale, General Health Questionnaire, Parental Self-efficacy Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results show that the greater perception of informal social support significantly predicts better levels of mental health and satisfaction with life. In addition, access to formal social support significantly predicts a greater perception of parental self-efficacy. The results observed with the mothers of children with CZS are consistent with those reported in other studies with mothers of children with chronic conditions, pointing out that formal and informal social support have different effects on mental health, parental self-efficacy and satisfaction with life, even while controlling the effect of sociodemographic variables.
