Resumo
A sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa após o parto associa-se a dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé. O suporte social no momento do parto pode atuar como um fator protetor na emergência de problemas de saúde mental na mãe no período após o parto, o que pode diminuir as dificuldades no envolvimento emocional com o bebé. O presente estudo teve como objetivos: (1) explorar a associação entre a sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa na mãe no período após o parto e as dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé; e (2) explorar o papel moderador do suporte social do companheiro no momento do parto na associação entre a sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa na mãe no período após o parto e as dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé. A amostra incluiu 157 mães avaliadas aos dois meses após o parto. Os resultados revelaram uma associação positiva entre os sintomas depressivos da mãe após o parto e as dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé, assim como o suporte do companheiro no momento do parto pareceu atenuar a relação positiva entre a sintomatologia depressiva e as dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe bebé. Por fim, este estudo concluiu que quanto mais elevada a sintomatologia depressiva após o parto, maiores são as dificuldades do envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé, sendo essencial a identificação precoce dos sintomas de depressão, contribuindo para a prevenção das dificuldades no envolvimento emocional mãe-bebé. Já a maior perceção de suporte do companheiro no momento do parto torna-se relevante para a mulher devido à segurança e apoio físico e psicológico que a mulher necessita naquele momento em particular.

Depressive and anxious symptoms after childbirth are associated with difficulties in motherbaby emotional involvement. Social support at the time of labour can act as a protective factor against the emergence of mental health problems in mothers after childbirth, which can reduce difficulties in emotional involvement with the baby. The present study aimed to: (1) explore the association between depressive and anxious symptoms in mothers in the postpartum period and difficulties in mother-infant emotional involvement; and (2) explore the moderating role of the partner's social support at the time of childbirth in the association between depressive and anxious symptoms in mothers in the postpartum period and difficulties in mother-infant emotional involvement. The sample included 157 mothers assessed at two months after giving birth. Results revealed a positive association between the mother's depressive symptoms after childbirth and difficulties in mother-baby emotional involvement, and that the partner’s support at the time of childbirth seems to attenuate the positive relationship between depressive symptoms and difficulties in mother-baby emotional involvement. Finally, this study concludes that the higher the depressive symptoms after childbirth, the higher the difficulties in mother-baby emotional involvement, and that early identification of depression symptoms is essential to help prevent difficulties in mother-baby emotional involvement. On the other hand, the greater perception of support from the partner at the time of childbirth becomes relevant for the woman due to the physical and psychological security and support that the woman needs at that particular time. Keywords: depression, anxiety, postpartum, difficulties in mother-baby emotional involvement, social support
