ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate how mothers of children with congenital syndrome (microcephaly) associated with Zika virus perceive their quality of life.METHODS:
This is a qualitative study carried out in two stages at the Maternal and Child University Hospital and at Casa de Apoio Ninar through semi-structured interviews with mothers of children with congenital syndrome associated with Zika virus. Ten women comprised the sample.RESULTS:
In line with the critical discourse analysis, four categories emerged based on Fairclough's 2008 assumptions Quality of Life and Health - quality of life perception associated with the broad meaning of the term health; Quality of Life and Health Care Systems - characterized by care instability and fragmentation; Quality of Life and Free Time - lack of free time for activities of daily living and leisure; Quality of Life and Future Perspectives - lack of future perspective, considering that most participants had to stop working and studying to take care of their children.CONCLUSIONS:
Mothers of children with congenital syndrome associated with Zika virus are devoted to their children's care. Their lack of prospects was considered a consequence of the lack of time for activities of daily living and leisure.
