Abstract(s)
A presente investigação tem como objetivos conhecer os padrões de consumo de álcool de uma amostra de mulheres grávidas e analisar os conhecimentos e fontes de informação das participantes sobre os efeitos do consumo de álcool na gravidez e na amamentação. O estudo foi realizado com uma amostra de 564 mulheres grávidas com nacionalidade portuguesa, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 44 anos. Para a recolha dos dados foi utilizado um questionário online sobre a Maternidade, gravidez, amamentação e ingestão de álcool. Os resultados apontam para a ocorrência de consumos de álcool na gravidez em 9,9% da mostra, e na amamentação em 13,5% das participantes. A maioria dos elementos da amostra considerava-se bastante ou muito informada sobre consumos de álcool e saúde em geral (76,6%) e sobre álcool e gravidez (79,8%), embora neste último tema tenha havido um maior número de pessoas a afirmar estar “Nada informada” e “Pouco informada”, quando comparado com as respostas ao tema anterior. Nas variáveis relacionadas com estes conhecimentos surgiram valores interessantes refletindo incerteza ou dúvidas quanto às respostas a dar. As fontes predominantes quanto à transmissão da informação sobre o álcool e gravidez foram a internet e o Médico de família, e apesar de 95,4% referirem os técnicos de saúde como elementos primordiais e adequados na disseminação desta informação, 32,6% não obtive apoio neste domínio, proveniente destes profissionais. O papel do psicólogo no panorama atual dos cuidados de saúde primários prestados às gestantes e seus filhos, nomeadamente no que respeita aos consumos de substâncias, pode fazer a diferença na prevenção e no apoio às situações que se apresentem com estes contornos.
The objectives of this investigation are to understand the alcohol consumption patterns of a sample of pregnant women and to analyze the participants' knowledge and sources of information about the effects of alcohol consumption on pregnancy and breastfeeding. The research was conducted with a sample of 564 pregnant women with Portuguese nationality and aged between 18 and 44 years. An online questionnaire on Maternity, pregnancy, breastfeeding and alcohol intake was used to collect the data. The results point to the alcohol consumption during pregnancy in 9.9% of the sample, and in breastfeeding in 13.5% of the participants. Most elements of the sample considered themselves to be quite or very informed about alcohol consumption and health (76.6%) and about alcohol and pregnancy (79.8%), although in the last topic there were more participants stating to be "Not informed" and "Not very informed" compared to the previous topic. In the variables related to this knowledge, interesting values emerged reflecting uncertainty or doubts about the answers to be given. The predominant sources regarding the transmission of information about alcohol and pregnancy were the internet and the Family Doctor, and although 95.4% considered health technicians as most important and appropriate elements in the dissemination of this information, 32.6% did not obtain support in this domain from these professionals. The role of the psychologist in the current scenario of primary health care provided to pregnant women and their children, particularly regarding substance consumption, can make a difference in preventing and supporting situations with these outlines.
