    The inclusion of women in the labor market has had an impact in families and in their childcare practices. This master’s dissertation thus aims to research the concepts and practices of mothers with two- to five-year-old children regarding family, childcare, and child-rearing, comparing the perspectives of mothers who are in the labor market with those who are not. A qualitative method for this study was chosen. Ten middle-class mothers were interviewed; five of whom are in the labor market and five who are not. The mothers were met in a pediatric clinic in Salvador-BA. For data collection, an interview script was constructed with primarily open questions. The researcher invited mothers of children who were treated at the aforementioned clinic to participate in the project, considering the inclusion criteria. The mothers signed the Statement of Informed Consent and were interviewed in locations that were convenient for them. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and the responses obtained were described and used to construct categories. This study was approved by the Climério de Oliveira Maternity Research Ethics Committee (COM/UFBA). The main results were as follows: mothers viewed family as the basis of everything and the purpose of their lives. Motherhood was considered a positive – albeit complex – duty. The concepts of child-rearing involved mainly guidance/teaching, the establishment of limits and the transmission of values. The study verified an overload of tasks conferred to the mothers, regarding domestic duties as well as those geared towards childcare and child-rearing. However, it can be stated that the mothers in the labor market have a larger support network in their childcare and child-rearing, which includes relatives and non-relatives people. These duties are shared primarily among women. Their families raise their children by establishing limits and transmitting values and guidance. There appears to be a consensus among the members of the two groups that mothers who are not in the labor market have more time to dedicate to their children. It was also evident that the quality of time available, not only the quantity, must be considered. It can be concluded that motherhood is central to the lives of the women interviewed. Although mothers in the labor market are more overloaded, they have a childcare support network and demonstrate personal and professional satisfaction afforded by their work. Mothers outside the labor market recognize the importance of their presence for their children; however, they sometimes feel suffocated by family demands and wish for time to meet their personal and professional needs. Future studies are needed to further research the complexity of the relationship between family and work. Keywords: Motherhood; Family; Child-raising; Childcare.

    Maternidade interrompida? o luto e o sentido da vida de mães em face da morte dos seus filhos adolescentes por meio de suicídio
    (UCSal, Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2022-05-26) Fontoura, Clarissa Santos; Rabinovich, Elaine Pedreira (Orient.); Maurício, Maria Deolinda Antunes Luz Lopes Dias (Coorient.)
    A experiência da morte por meio de suicídio tem causado impacto na sociedade, com ênfase nas famílias diretamente afetadas. Especificamente em casos de morte por suicídio de adolescentes, o impacto ocorre fortemente na vida de mães enlutadas. Diante disso, a presente tese de doutorado objetiva conhecer as experiências de mães em face da morte de seus filhos adolescentes por meio de suicídio, buscando, como objetivos específicos: compreender o impacto da morte do(a) filho(a) nas relações familiares; identificar qual sentido a mãe atribui à morte de seu filho; e quais as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelas mães em face da morte de seus filhos. Em um estudo qualitativo, seis mães cujos filhos adolescentes cometeram suicídio foram entrevistadas em local de sua conveniência. Essas mães foram indicadas pela pesquisadora, psicóloga e suicidologista Karina Okajima Fukumitsu. Para a coleta de dados, foi construído um roteiro de entrevista com questões predominantemente abertas. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa da Universidade Católica do Salvador. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas pela pesquisadora. Os dados foram analisados e, consequentemente, elaborados núcleos de sentido. Os resultados encontrados foram elencados em resposta aos objetivos propostos e versam sobre o impacto da morte do(a) filho(a) nas relações familiares, a atribuição de sentido para a morte do(a) filho(a) e estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pelas mães em face da morte de seu(sua) filho(a). Verificou-se maior aproximação entre os familiares envolvidos após a morte do(a) filho(a). Constatou-se a valoração da maternidade, independente da presença física do(a) filho(a). Houve um consenso entre as entrevistadas no que tange ao estigma sofrido, ficando evidente a necessidade de que esta temática seja esclarecida pela sociedade. Com relação à atribuição de sentido para a morte do(a) filho(a), das seis mães entrevistadas, três consideraram haver sentido para a morte de seus filhos e três consideraram que não houve sentido para a morte de seus filhos. Das mães que avaliaram haver algum sentido, houve o reconhecimento da máxima de que nada na vida acontece por acaso. Com relação às estratégias de enfrentamento, as estratégias encontradas corresponderam a uma abertura à transcendência e espiritualidade e à resiliência. As estratégias associadas à resiliência foram subdivididas em: práticas terapêuticas como o acesso a profissionais de psicoterapia e psiquiatria, dentre outros; a importância do trabalho como forma de enfrentamento do luto; falar e escrever sobre a perda como recurso terapêutico; e a prática do serviço ao próximo como importantes formas de enfrentamento e ressignificação. Conclui-se que a maternidade é central na vida dessas mulheres: mesmo sem a presença física dos(as) filhos(as), as mães entrevistadas permanecem com sentimento e função materna intactos e que a espiritualidade se apresenta como importante suporte no enfrentamento da perda. Sugere-se, a partir do estigma sofrido pelas mães e familiares, a necessidade de maior esclarecimento social em torno da temática do suicídio. Dada a complexidade do assunto pesquisado, aponta-se para a necessidade de estudos futuros que aprofundem a temática.
