“…It is unrealistic to expect groups of behaviors to achieve the same internal consistency as unitary stable characteristics such as attitudes or perceptions. Behaviors of mothers of medically fragile infants may be particularly variable because their infants' nervous system damage and limited abilities to exhibit clear behavioral cues may confuse their mothers (Eckerman et al, 1994;Holditch-Davis et al, 2003;Landry et al, 1997). Yet, these dimensions do have meaning: they capture the two major types of positive maternal interactive behaviors known to affect development in premature and medically fragile infants (Berlin et al, 1995;Poehlmann & Fiese, 2001;Singer et al, 2003), and they show acceptable internal consistency in older and somewhat healthier infants (Holditch-Davis, 2002).…”

“…Even healthier preterm infants may have disorganized responses that can confuse the mother (Eckerman, Oehler, Medvin, & Hannan, 1994), and severely chronically ill infants have limited abilities to exhibit clear behavioral cues to guide the mother's responses (Holditch-Davis, Cox, Miles, & Belyea, 2003). Premature infants with BPD were less responsive to maternal social behaviors and displayed less positive affect than healthier prematures or fullterms (Landry et al, 1990;Landry, Smith, Miller-Loncar, & Swank, 1997).…”

The influences of maternal characteristics, infant characteristics, and paternal support on maternal positive involvement and developmental stimulation were examined over time in 59 mothers and their medically fragile infants using an ecological framework. Higher maternal education was associated with greater maternal positive involvement. More maternal depressive symptoms, more infant technological dependence, and lower birthweights were associated with less maternal positive involvement at 6 months but greater involvement at 12 months. Higher paternal helpfulness facilitated positive involvement in mothers with low depressive symptoms but not in those with elevated symptoms. Higher maternal education and more depressive symptoms were associated with more developmental stimulation. Thus, maternal interactive behaviors are affected by maternal, infant, and environment factors, and these effects change over time.

“…Em condições habituais, para evitar a palavra "normais", da vida humana, essa oportunidade é maior entre mãe e filho(a) do que entre outros adultos e o bebê. Além disso, a literatura das últimas décadas a respeito de competências do recém-nascido e de interação mãe-filho no início da vida evidencia a existência de um ajuste biológico muito fino no sentido de favorecer essa ligação (Bowlby, 1984;Bruner, 1976;Condon & Sander, 1974;Eckerman, Oehler, Medvin, & Hannan, 1994;Field, Woodson, Greenberg, & Cohen, 1982;Meltzoff & Moore, 1977;Schaal e cols., 1980;Stern, Beeb, Jaffe, & Bennet, 1977). As diferenças culturais quanto ao envolvimento de mães e pais na criação de filhos não deveriam, portanto, obscurecer a percepção das regularidades: mães tipicamente assumem responsabilidade maior pelo cuidado e nutrição das crianças pequenas, enquanto pais se responsabilizam por outras esferas.…”

Resumo: Reflete-se neste artigo sobre práticas e concepções a respeito do cuidar como papel feminino, examinando os pontos de vista psicobiológico e histórico-cultural. São sintetizados dados sugestivos da maior participação feminina em tarefas de cuidado. O enfoque psicobiológico baseia-se no argumento do maior investimento parental feminino, que justificaria especializações e predisposições para o cuidar. O argumento histórico-cultural enfatiza a identificação com modelos como mecanismo fundamental da preservação cultural dos papéis dos gêneros. Procura-se, no final, uma síntese que desvele as profundas interações entre biologia e história, entre natureza e cultura, como ponto de partida para a superação dessas já cansadas dicotomias.

Women and caregiving: psycho-biologically based or culturally arbitrary?Abstract: This study examines practices and conceptions regarding caregiving as a female role, both from the psychobiological and historical-cultural perspectives. Data suggest greater participation of women in caregiving tasks. The psychobiological approach is based on the argument of higher female parental investment, which would justify specializations and predisposition to caregiving. The historical-social argument emphasizes the identification with models as basic mechanism for cultural preservation of gender roles. The attempt is to achieve a synthesis that unveils the deep interactions between biology and history, nature and culture, as a starting point for overcoming these already dull dichotomies. Keywords:Gender. Family relations. Caregivers. Psychology relation to History. Social history. Mujeres y cuidado: ¿bases psicobiológicas o arbitrariedad cultural?Resumen: A partir de una mirada psicobiológica y histórico-cultural, analizar las practicas y concepciones del cuidar como papel femenino es el objetivo del texto. El abordaje psicobiológica sigue el argumento de mayor atención parental femenino, justificando predisposiciones y mayor atención para el cuidar. Ya que el argumento histórico-cultural enfatiza la identificación con modelos y perfiles femeninos como parte de la preservación cultural de las funciones/papeles destinadas a los géneros. Procurase, al final, una síntesis acerca de las interacciones entre biología e historia, entre naturaleza y cultura, como punto de partida para la superación de estas dicotomías.

“…O contato de olhar e a fala afetuosa despertam sorrisos (Otta, 1994), bem como aumentam o envolvimento interacional do bebê, que abre mais os olhos e coloca-se em estado de alerta; mesmo os recém-nascidos pré-termo já apresentam esse padrão básico de reação para o contato face a face e para a fala maternal (Eckerman, Oehler, Medvin & Hannan, 1994). O colo aquieta e organiza (Klaus & Kennel, 1992).…”
