Abstract

Prematurity of birth can interfere in the mother's relationship with her baby, with risks of establishing psychic failures. So, this research sought to analyze how the maternal function can be affected by the conditions of premature birth of the baby and by the therapeutic itinerary in a neonatal referral unit for the Kangaroo Method. 06 mothers of preterm babies participated. Open interviews were conducted, using the conceptual operators of the protocol axes of the Research on Clinical Risk Indicators for Child Development (IRDI) as guides.The study was submitted to the Ethics Committee in resolution 466/12. In content analysis, the following thematic categories emerged: “Repercussions of premature birth in the mother's subjectivity” and “About time and support networks”. It was understood that the waiting time for the hospitalization of the preterm child can work for the mother as a time for psychic re-elaboration. The support networks and transfer attenuared the obstacles established in the mother-infant relationship, thus protecting maternal-infant mental health.
