Abstract(s)
Com o presente trabalho, objetivou-se identificar e analisar os principais mitos e
crenças, inerentes à problemática que é o Aleitamento Materno (AM), e verificar em
que medida influenciam o pensamento e motivação das puérperas na sua decisão de
amamentar. Bem como se objetivou identificar a envolvência do enfermeiro em toda
esta problemática.
A estratégia utilizada para a elaboração do presente trabalho, foi a revisão bibliográfica.
Sendo a pesquisa realizada, em livros, artigos de revistas científicas, teses e
dissertações. As bases de dados utilizadas foram o SciELO, CINAHL e MEDLINE.
Utilizando as seguintes palavras-chave: “Aleitamento Materno”, “Desmame”, “Mitos” e
“Crenças”.
Realizou-se uma investigação não experimental, de análise quantitativa e corte
transversal, do tipo descritivo, numa amostra não probabilística por conveniência de 127
mães com filhos com idades entre os 0 e os 24 meses. Utilizou-se um questionário com
caracterização da amostra bem como a identificação de variáveis que influenciam a
prática da amamentação em três dimensões: conhecimento das puérperas face ao AM,
principais mitos e crenças e papel do enfermeiro na desmistificação e promoção do AM.
Os resultados obtidos apontam para a possibilidade de maior sucesso na amamentação,
após a desmistificação dos mitos e crenças. Embora 81% das participantes refira ter tido
informação/formação acerca do AM, várias são as questões que denotam falta de
esclarecimento, como é o caso do mito do leite fraco em que 37% das mães
concordaram contra apenas 44,9% que discordaram. Ou ainda relativamente ao choro
do bebé após a mamada como sinal de insatisfação, em que 46,5% concordou, contra
apenas 39,4% que discordou.
The purpose of this essay was to identify and analyse the main mythes and believes related to problems in breast feeding, and verify to what extend these factors influence the behaviour and motivation of mothers towards breastfeeding and their decision to breast feeds newborn babies. It also tried to understand the influence that nurses have in breast feeding adoption. The basis of this essay was existing literature and academic papers. The research was based in books and academic articles, theses and dissertations. The datasets used were SciELO, CINAHL e MEDLINE. The following key words were used: “brestfeeding”, “weaning”, “myths” and “beliefs”. The approach followed was non-experimental research, quantitative analysis and crosssection, descriptive type, with non-probability convenience sampling including 127 mothers with babies with age between 0 and 24 months. The survey included the sample characterisation as well as the variables that influence breast feeding across 3 dimensions: mothers knowledge of breastfeeding, main myths and beliefs and the nurse’s role in demystifying myths, informing and promoting breast feeding. The results evidence the possibility of a higher success in breastfeeding, post demystification of myths and beliefs and providing better information. Although 81% of the elements quotes to have had information/training in breastfeeding, there are several questions that suggest misinformation still exits. For example 37% of mothers agreeing with the myth of “weak milk”, with only 44.9% of mother disagreeing. Another example is that 46% of mothers agreed that the baby crying after breastfeeding was a sign of dissatisfaction, only 39.4% disagreed with such myth.
