As principais causas do adoecimento psicológico em puérperas no período da pandemia

Abstract

The postpartum period known as puerperium is a challenging time for a woman, meeting her baby and taking care of all her needs is a responsibility that generates a lot of emotional demands. After birth, care turns to the baby and the mother in this scenario is the provider that everything happens in a stable and perfect way. Taking care of the baby's demands, household chores and even dealing with a pandemic, led to uncertainty, fear and insecurity in many women. Isolation aggravated the psychological illness of some puerperal women, thus hindering the construction of a bond between mother and baby and making it difficult to identify the emotional stage that this mother is in. The study presents, within the context of a pandemic, the suffering experienced by postpartum women and the causes that led to their psychological distress.
