Resumo
O sucesso no ensino superior é um enorme desafio para mães-estudantes. A investigação sobre o que determina a prossecução destes dois papéis, exige conhecer os fatores influenciadores e implica a implementação de estratégias. Objetivo: Mapear o conhecimento disponível na literatura científica sobre as experiências vividas pelas mães enquanto mães-estudantes. Materiais e métodos: Metodologia de Joanna Briggs Instittute. A pesquisa bibliográfica realizou-se em bases de dados via EBSCO, sem limites linguísticos, de publicações nos últimos 5 anos, com a conjugação dos seguintes termos: student-mothers, maternity, parenting, university education. Acrescentou-se ainda literatura cinzenta através do Google Scholar e RCAAP. Resultados: Obtiveram-se 631 artigos, dos quais 12 integram esta scoping review. Foram excluídos artigos de opinião e artigos sem abstract disponível. As mães-estudantes relatam a frequência no ensino superior como uma mais-valia para a sua vida e a dos seus filhos. No entanto, a conciliação destes dois papéis torna o ser mãe-estudante um enorme desafio. Os fatores influenciadores vão desde a carga emocional decorrente do afastamento dos filhos até à falta de apoio institucional e maior encargo económico. Conclusão: Equilibrar a maternidade e a vida académica constitui um enorme desafio, privilegiando um ou outro papel na procura incessante de equilíbrio, determinação e otimismo.
Success in higher education is a huge challenge for student mothers. Investigating the factors that determine the pursuit of these two roles requires knowing their influencing factors and the implementation of strategies. Objective: To map the knowledge available in scientific literature about the experiences lived by student mothers. Materials and methods: Joanna Briggs Institute Methodology. The bibliographic research was done in databases via EBSCO, without linguistic limits, of publications in the last 5 years, with the combination of the following terms: student-mothers, maternity, parenting, university and education. Gray literature was also added through Google Scholar and RCAAP. Results: 631 articles were obtained, 12 of which are part of this scoping review. Opinion articles and articles without an abstract available were excluded. Student mothers report attending higher education added value to their lives and of their children. However, reconciling these two roles makes being a student mother a huge challenge. Influencing factors range from the emotional burden resulting from the absence of children to the lack of institutional support and greater economic burden. Conclusion: Balancing motherhood and academic life is a huge challenge, favoring one role or the other in the incessant search for balance, determination and optimism.
