Apoio social percebido, Conforto pós-parto, Período pós-partoResumo
Objetivo: a pesquisa foi realizada para determinar o efeito da perceção de apoio social de mulheres no pós-parto sobre os níveis de conforto pós-parto. Métodos: a amostra do estudo descritivo foi constituída por 320 mulheres no período pós-parto. Para a recolha de dados foram utilizados o Formulário de Informação Descritiva, a Escala Multidimensional de Suporte Social Percebido (MSPSS) e a Escala de Conforto Pós-Parto (PCS). Resultados: a nível de MPSSS das mulheres foi considerado moderado (55,25 ± 16,70). O nível de PCS das mulheres foi considerado moderado (120,03 ± 19,18). Verificou-se que existia uma relação positiva significativa entre o apoio social percepcionado e o conforto pós-parto das mulheres (p<0,05).Conclusões: a estudo mostrou que à medida que o nível de suporte social percebido pelas mulheres aumentava, o seu nível de conforto pós-parto também aumentava.
