CORREA, Fernanda Pavão y SERRALHA, Conceição Aparecida. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION: A RETROSPECTIVE AND CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.1, pp.113-123. ISSN 0123-9155. https://doi.org/10.14718/ACP.2015.18.1.11.
This study, exploratory-descriptive and of qualitative approach, aimed to examine the discourse of women who were affected by postpartum depression in order to search for experiences about motherhood they had gone through with their own mothers and to analyze whether these experiences influenced the onset of depression. Data were collected through interviews with five mothers and subsequently analyzed by the technique of Content Analysis.The results showed that most participants displayed conflicting relationships with their mothers and provided strong evidence that models of women (place and social role) and motherhood experienced and internalized by the participants in the study were influential in triggering and worsening the depression that struck after delivery. The study made progress in this direction, since such maternal models have always been related to the performance of the young mother, but not to the emergence and development of depression. Such evidence may thus encourage further studies to confirm and extend these findings.
