Abstract

Prematurity is a public health problem due to several circumstances and is the main cause of death in the first 24 hours of the newborn's life as well as being one of the main causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity. Thus, the importance of knowing the sociocultural profile of these women in order to carry out a plan of care focused on the reality of these mothers was studied. This study aimed to know the sociodemographic profile and self-efficacy of mothers of premature infants admitted to a neonatal unit. The applied methodology was: Cross-sectional epidemiological study, carried out in reference maternity hospital in Fortaleza. The population was composed of 120 mothers of premature newborns in a neonatal care unit. A questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic and obstetric data. Descriptive statistics were used, by means of absolute, relative frequency. The results will be presented in tables and discussed according to relevant literature. The recommendations for data collection are in accordance with Resolution 466/2012. As a result, the majority of women were between the ages of 20 and 30, came from the capital or metropolitan region, had more than 9 years of study, had a partner, did not work in paid employment and had income of 1 to 2 minimum wages and received social benefit- Bolsa Familia. A little more than half of the mothers were multiparous, they performed prenatal care, but the majority did not participate in a group of pregnant women. Knowing the importance of knowing the socio-demographic profile and its influence on Self-efficacy, it would be important to include more oriented health education in the sociodemographic profile of these mothers. Thus, nurses should be encouraged to pay more attention to the mothers 'and families' own resources in planning and implementing nursing care in order to offer a quality and holistic service.
