0156/2020 - O suporte social como fator de proteção para as mães de crianças com Síndrome da Zika Congênita Social support as a protective factor for the mothers of children with Congenital Zika Syndrome
As mães de crianças com SZC enfrentam desafios excepcionais no cuidado com seus filhos. Mediante essa realidade, a disponibilidade de suporte social pode funcionar como um importante fator de proteção. Nesse sentido, esse trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o papel do suporte social informal e formal na saúde mental, autoeficácia parental e satisfação com a vida de mães de crianças com SZC. Participaram desse estudo 69 mães de crianças com SZC (M = 26,4 anos; DP = 6,23), residentes no estado do Ceará, Brasil. Elas responderam a Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social, Questionário de Saúde Geral, Escala de Autoeficácia Parental e Escala de Satisfação com a Vida. Os resultados apontam que a maior percepção de suporte social informal prediz significativamente melhores níveis de saúde mental e satisfação com a vida. Ademais, o acesso ao suporte social formal prediz significativamente uma maior percepção de autoeficácia parental.Os resultados observados com as mães de crianças com SZC são coerentes com os relatados em outros estudos, apontando que o suporte social formal e informal apresentam efeitos distintos na saúde mental, autoeficácia parental e satisfação com a vida, cabendo observar que esses efeitos ocorreram mesmo controlando o efeito de variáveis sociodemográficas.
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.
