Abstract
Background: The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is highly infectious, with the recent World Health Organization decree confirming a global public health emergency. The outcomes related to maternal and fetal health among pregnant women infected with the virus are still poorly understood. The world population has been waiting for answers and remains constantly alert about the pandemic's progress. It is not yet known what impact this pandemic experience will have on the population's mental health, especially pregnant women.
Method: We aim to understand and discuss the experiences of women who were infected by COVID-19 during pregnancy, in relation to the illness process, community relations, and social media influences. This is a qualitative study in which we will interview women who were infected by COVID-19 during pregnancy and received medical care from a tertiary university hospital specializing in women's health in Brazil. We will use the techniques of Semi-Directed Interviews of Open and In-depth Questions, socio-demographic and health data sheets, and Field Diaries. We will use purposive sampling and the criterion of theoretical saturation for its construction. The interviews will be conducted by phone or video call, with audio recorded for later transcription. The treatment of the data will be completed through Thematic Analysis and discussed in light of the Health Psychology framework, with the production of categories that answer the proposed research questions.
Discussion: It is expected that the results contribute to the understanding about the demands that come to the health professional of women infected by COVID-19 during pregnancy in a pandemic situation. INTRODU??O: A doen?a causada pelo coronav?rus (COVID-19) ? altamente infecciosa, com a recente declara??o da Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de confirmando emerg?ncia global de sa?de p?blica. Os desfechos relacionados a sa?de materno-fetal entre gestantes infectadas pelo v?rus ainda s?o pouco conhecidos. A popula??o mundial tem aguardado respostas e se mant?m constantemente em alerta sobre o progresso da pandemia. Ainda n?o se sabe qual ser? o impacto da experi?ncia da pandemia sobre a sa?de mental da popula??o, especialmente entre mulheres gr?vidas. M?TODO: O objetivo deste estudo ? compreender e discutir as experi?ncias de mulheres infectadas pelo COVID-19 durante a gravidez, em rela??o ao processo de adoecimento, ?s rela??es comunit?rias e a influ?ncia de m?dias sociais. Este ? um estudo qualitativo em que ser?o entrevistadas mulheres infectadas pelo COVID-19 durante a gesta??o, atendidas em um hospital universit?rio terci?rio especializado em sa?de da mulher no Brasil. Ser?o usadas as t?cnicas de Entrevistas Semi-Dirigidas de Perguntas Abertas em Profundidade, ficha de dados sociodemogr?ficos e de sa?de e di?rios de campo. A amostra ser? selecionada intencionalmente, usando o crit?rio de satura??o te?rica para a sua constru??o. As entrevistas ser?o conduzidas por telefone ou videoconfer?ncia, com ?udio gravado para posterior transcri??o. O tratamento dos dados seguir? a An?lise Tem?tica e os resultados ser?o discutidos sob conceitos de Psicologia da Sa?de, com a produ??o de categorias que respondam as quest?es de pesquisa propostas. DISCUSS?O: Espera-se que os resultados contribuam para a compreens?o de demandas emergentes entre profissionais de sa?de para mulheres infectadas pelo COVID-19 durante a gesta??o em situa??o de pandemia.
