“…As bases conceituais que dão suporte a esse "novo" olhar para a saúde materna partem do pressuposto de que a assistência pré-natal deve ter como objetivos o apoio e encorajamento do ajustamento psicossocial saudável na gestação, além de um olhar para os aspectos sociológicos e as influências que a gestação pode acarretar na família 9 . Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a Qualidade de Vida Geral de gestantes atendidas na Estratégia Saúde da Família e identificar as dimensões da Qualidade de Vida com melhor e pior avaliações pelas gestantes, tendo como finalidade apontar ações de promoção da saúde que podem ser incluídas na assistên-cia pré-natal na ESF.…”

Resumo AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the Quality of Life of pregnant women attending the Family Health Strategy and identify the dimensions of Quality of Life better and worse evaluated. This is a descriptive, cross sectional study case, done in a Family Health Unit in the outskirts of São Bernardo do Campo. 42 women were evaluated using WHOQOLbref. The higher the score the better the assessment of Quality of Life. The scores of the domains were: Physical 57,65; Psychological 68,75; Environment 59,75; Social Relations 77,98; General 75,00. Each domain consists of a few facets, and these contributed positively or negatively t the score of the domains. The worst facets evaluated were: Energy and Fatigue; Thinking, Learning, Memory and Concentration; Financial Resources; and Sexual Activity. The best aspects evaluated were: Mobility; Positive Feelings, Body Image and Appearance; Health and Social Care; and Personal Relationships. We concluded that WHOQOL-bref is relevant as a monitoring instrument and it is, for the expansion of prenatal care and the evaluation of quality of life during prenatal care, an important tool for an integral assistence and pregnant woman's health promotion.

“…Using a woman-centred tool ought to identify those life aspects which affect her quality of life. Certainly it appears that pregnant women appreciate 'quality interactions' with those providing antenatal care (Davey, Brown & Bruinsma, 2005), but the reality for busy midwives means that there may often be a focus on measuring physical parameters, with less attention on 'softer' personal issues, such as 'social life' and 'financial concerns' (these were both identified in the antenatal phase of this study; Symon & Dobb, 2008). These aspects, too, may not be included in pre-set 'quality of life' lists with a biomedical focus.…”
