| Sumario: |
This research seeks to validate the theory of the adoption of the maternal role proposed by Ramona Mercer. We studied the association of the adoption of the maternal role with the trimester of pregnancy, the stage of the puerperium, and variables of the maternal profile such as age, marital status, occupation, educational level and ethnicity, applying Ramona Mercer's theory. Quantitative, analytical, exploratory, retrospective, and transversal approach methods were applied in this research. A sample size made up of 22 mothers with children under one year of age was selected using non-probability or intentional sampling. A questionnaire was prepared by the researchers and administered to the sample. the information obtained was processed and analyzed using the SPSS version 25 program. The results showed a sign of attachment was identified in pregnancy (anticipatory stage) in 68% of the sample, at birth of the newborn (formal stage) in 65%, in the middle puerperium (informal stage) in 42% and in the late puerperium (personal stage) in 91%. For each of the following cohorts: occupation (outside the home), marital status (united), age of the 75th percentile (26 years and younger), race (Caucasian) and educational level (university) a statistical association with adoption of the maternal role was found. For other cohorts of the tested variables, no statistical association with adoption of the maternal role was found. This research serves to promote advances in the application of nursing care through the validation of Ramona Mercer’s theory of adoption of the maternal role while also establishing training and conservation measures of the protective factors of attachment that were identified. |
