DIÁLOGOS SOBRE MATERNIDADE: A EXPERIÊNCIA DO PRÉ-NATAL PSICOLÓGICO NO INTERIOR DO MATO GROSSO DO SUL

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of psychological prenatal care in a group of pregnant women at a Social Assistance Reference Center (CRAS) in a city in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul. As a starting point, action research was conducted based on six meetings with the group of pregnant women. Subsequently, a case study was conducted to analyze these meetings. Topics relevant to the women's current situation were discussed, aiming to provide support, listening, dialogue, and care to the pregnant women present in the group. This study shows that psychological prenatal care can produce significant benefits for the quality of maternal mental health, serving as support for mental health during pregnancy. It is clear that psychological prenatal care successfully promoted mental health care through the meetings, strengthening bonds and demonstrating a humanized and necessary model of care.
