Malformation and death X Alcoholism: perspective of Nursing the Theory of Transitions for alcoholic pregnant women

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the knowledge of women who are being treated in Psychosocial Care Centers for Alcohol and Drugs about the harm caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy, especially regarding fetal malformation. Method: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study using the Life Narrative approach. Data was collected between February and May 2016, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, with an open interview with the guiding question: “Tell me about your life in relation to alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the guidance received in prenatal care”. Results: The narratives revealed lack of information and fear of malformation (physical) and fetal death due to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Discussion: Malformation or fetal death may trigger a transitional process in women. Final Considerations: Women have incipient knowledge about the effects of alcohol on the fetus. They consider that alcohol can only cause physical defects in the children.
