THE FAMILY'S PERCEPTION OF PREGNANCY
Gestation. Family. Social network. Nursing. Perception.
Introduction: The gestational period involves changes in different aspects, demonstrating that antenatal care must go beyond the unilateral dimension focused only on biological aspects. Objective: to identify the family's perception about gestation. Method: will be a descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study, to be carried out with pregnant women and their social network in a Basic Health Unit, in the municipality of santa Cruz / RN. The sample will be defined by the saturation method, through focus groups and interviews. Three meetings will be held in the focus groups, applying the techniques of the genogram and ecomap to understand the interpersonal relationships between the pregnant women and their family and other individuals outside the family. The focus groups will be developed after the prenatal consultations in the Basic Health Unit in order to allow a better adherence to the study, with approximately 8 to 12 people and a minimum duration of 30 (thirty) minutes and a maximum of 2 (two) hours. The semi-structured interview will be carried out through a questionnaire, subdivided into two parts - sociodemographic, obstetric factors and the perception of pregnancy for the family, the latter consisting of two guiding questions: "How did you know about pregnancy for you?" And "How Did you go to the news of pregnancy for the people you consider as family? "For discourse analysis will be used to dialectical hermeneutics, a technique that makes the synthesis of the processes understanding and critical. The dialectical method and the hermeneutic method, the first starting from the opposition and the second from the mediation, are necessary moments in the production of rationality and in this way operate indissolubly as elements of a unit. The research will be submitted to the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (CEP / UFRN), to evaluate the aspects of the research. After approval, Resolution No. 466/2012 of the National Health Council, which governs respect for the ethical aspects of human research and secondary data, will be legally fulfilled. The data obtained during the research will be archived on CD - ROM by means of audios and will remain on researchers' possession for five years.
