Abstract

Objective: To assess the association between perceived social support and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a maternity hospital northwest of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil from November 2021 to April 2022. A sociodemographic and clinical characterization questionnaire and a social support scale were used. Descriptive and inferential analysis.

Results: Puerperal women with higher education had higher mean scores for emotional support (p=0.015); white women had higher mean scores for material support (p=0.009); and those in stable unions had higher mean scores for emotional support (p=0.0016), emotional support (p=0.035), information (p=0.019) and positive interaction (p=0.032). There were significant differences between the variables in which the pregnancy was planned, in which puerperal women received more material support (p=0.015) and those with systemic arterial hypertension, who received more support and positive interaction (p=0.014).

Conclusions: The puerperal women had high social support scores. However, higher scores were observed among those from higher socioeconomic levels, in union, who had a planned pregnancy and hypertension during pregnancy.
