Abstract
MARTINEZ CORNEJO, Alejandra; RIVAS RIVEROS, Edith and CATALAN MELINAO, Yaqueline. Experience of the extension policy of postnatal parental for mothers in Chile. av.enferm. [online]. 2020, vol.38, n.3, pp.335-346. Epub Jan 05, 2021. ISSN 0121-4500. https://doi.org/10.15446/av.enferm.v38n3.85873.
Objective:
To reveal the experience of the Parental Postnatal Law in working mothers and their children in two cities in southern Chile, 2018.
Methodology:
Phenomenological qualitative research with Schutz philosophical reference. Data was collected by phenomenological interview and analysis, defining a set of metacategories and intermediate categories. Sampling is defined by theoretical saturation and data collection carried out by phenomenological interview in order to apprehend the objects lived. Interviews were performed at the agreed place and time, after signing an informed consent form, and included an authorized recording of the speech.
Results:
The emerged metacategories correspond to beneficial experience for dyads, benefits for the infant, maternal overload, and deprotection due to information deficit. Considering the prevailing gender perspectives, returning to work implies guilt and maternal overload when reconciling both roles.
Conclusion:
Fears of losing the job and prejudices are perceived when making use of a parental leave. Strategies aimed at easing the delivery of information and valuing maternal support networks that smooth family reconciliation should be considered.
