Resumen
FIGUEIREDO, Anabela; FONSECA, Sandra y CARDOSO, Alexandrina. Mothers’ and fathers’ learning needs during pregnancy. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.8, e20217. Epub 14-Feb-2022. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv20217.
Background:
The adjustment to pregnancy implies that those who experience it incorporate a set of skills for health promotion. The disciplinary knowledge supporting the identification of learning needs is still limited.
Objective:
To identify mothers’ and fathers’ learning needs to promote self-care during pregnancy.
Methodology:
Cross-sectional and qualitative study with 80 mothers and 20 fathers intending to become pregnant or with a previous or current pregnancy. Ethical principles were safeguarded. Interviews were conducted between January and June 2016. Data were subjected to content analysis (grounded analysis) using NVivo11.
Results:
The learning needs identified by mothers and fathers were divided into the following categories: preparing for pregnancy, adjusting to pregnancy, caring for oneself, caring for the baby (fetus), and ensuring health surveillance.
Conclusion:
Three domains of care needs emerged in the adjustment to pregnancy: body process, self-care/self-monitoring, and fetal health. Mothers and fathers have overlapping needs, so the couple can be considered a client of care.
