Resumo: | This qualitative study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to analyze single mothers' postpartum depression experiences. The study highlighted the problems participants faced as students and single mothers. Satellite campus students participated in the study. The researcher used purposive and snowball sampling to identify 15 teenage single mothers with one to three children. They weren't necessarily diagnosed or treated for PPD. Single mothers experience different postpartum depression symptoms. Insecurity, tearfulness, irritability, physical symptoms, self-blame, self-harm, unreasonableness, giving up, isolation, and suicidal ideations are symptoms experienced during postpartum depression. According to their stories, PPD symptoms could be a result of the abrupt changes in their life as new mothers. Emotion-focused coping, problem-focused coping, and religious coping were most commonly used by single mothers. Future research should investigate these coping methods. This study contributes a theoretical understanding of the postpartum depression experiences and coping mechanisms of single mothers. |

O estudo destacou os problemas enfrentados pelos participantes como estudantes e mães solteiras. Alunos do campus satélite participaram do estudo. O pesquisador usou amostragem proposital e em bola de neve para identificar 15 jovens mães solteiras com um a três filhos. Eles não foram necessariamente diagnosticados ou tratados para DPP. As mães solteiras apresentam diferentes sintomas de depressão pós-parto. Insegurança, choro, irritabilidade, sintomas físicos, autoculpa, automutilação, irracionalidade, desistência, isolamento e ideações suicidas são sintomas vivenciados durante a depressão pós-parto. De acordo com suas histórias, os sintomas da DPP podem ser resultado de mudanças abruptas em suas vidas como novas mães. O coping focado na emoção, o coping focado no problema e o coping religioso foram mais utilizados pelas mães solteiras. Pesquisas futuras deverão investigar esses métodos de enfrentamento. Este estudo contribui para uma compreensão teórica das experiências de depressão pós-parto e dos mecanismos de enfrentamento de mães solteiras.Universidade Estadual de Alagoas - Eduneal2024-03-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/292610.48017/dj.v9i1.2926Diversitas Journal; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2024): Urban spaces and their contradictionsDiversitas Journal; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2024): Los espacios urbanos y sus contradiccionesDiversitas Journal; v. 9 n. 1 (2024): Espaços urbanos e suas contradições2525-521510.48017/dj.v9i1reponame:Diversitas Journalinstname:Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)instacron:UNEALenghttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/article/view/2926/2419Copyright (c) 2024 John Paul Relojhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReloj, John Paul2024-03-11T22:28:33Zoai:ojs.diversitasjournal.com.br:article/2926Revistahttps://diversitasjournal.com.br/diversitas_journal/indexPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/muralinternacional/oairevistadiversitasjournal@gmail.com2525-52152525-5215opendoar:2024-03-11T22:28:33Diversitas Journal - Universidade Estadual de Alagoas (UNEAL)false |
