Abstract
Cuando la maternidad se presenta en la adolescencia, las mujeres requieren un
sostén socioemocional que no siempre les pueden brindar sus familiares, pareja y
personal de salud, lo que favorece que desarrollen una baja autoestima y conflictos
con el rol materno. La investigación abordó este fenómeno explorando la relación
entre apoyo social percibido, autoestima y maternidad a través de 15 entrevistas a
mujeres que fueron madres adolescentes y cuyos hijos/as eran menores a 6 años.
Los resultados mostraron que las participantes perciben el apoyo recibido en un
continuo cuyas características van desde respetuoso hasta intrusivo o abiertamente
dominante, lo que a su vez tiene implicaciones sobre su autoestima y autonomía
materna. Las conclusiones alientan a repensar la maternidad adolescente como un
evento vital que, a pesar de ser vivenciado con angustia, posibilita oportunidades
para que las mujeres se desarrollen de manera integral, siempre y cuando cuenten
con un apoyo social adecuado.
When motherhood occurs in adolescence, women require a socio-emotional support that their family, partner and health staff cannot always provide, which leads to the development of low self-esteem and conflicts with the maternal role. This research addressed this phenomenon by exploring the relationship between perceived social support, self-esteem and motherhood through 15 interviews with adolescent mothers whose children were under 6 years old. The results showed that the participants perceive the support received in a range which varies from respectful to intrusive or outright dominant, which in turn has implications for their self-esteem and maternal autonomy. The conclusions encourage the rethinking of adolescent motherhood as a vital event that, despite being experienced with anguish, provides opportunities for personal development for women if they have adequate social support.
