Abstract

Study that objectifies the process of transition to maternal role of puerperal primiparas. It uses the qualitative methodology and the exploratory-descriptive method. It aims to disclose the puerperal primiparas’ perceptions on the transition to maternal role and to delineate strategies of transitional nursing care that facilitate the achievement of maternal role. The subjects were eleven puerperal primiparas in the period immediately after childbirth, in a rooming-in facility at a philanthropic maternity hospital in Curitiba City/ Brazil. It was used a semi-structured interview. Information analysis followed the stages of Bardin’s thematic analysis of content (1991). Four Context Units were apprehended: Pregnancy: a trajectory of acceptance and expectation; Childbirth: a concluded journey; The puerperal period: facing new roles; Nursing Actions for the puerperal primiparas. It is possible to understand the women’s lived experience to maternal role, their feelings, accomplishments, difficulties, changes imposed by the baby’s arrival and nursing care in this transitional phase.
