- Abstract
The aim of this qualitative research was to evaluate how alcoholic mother care for their children. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 alcoholic mothers between December 2011 and January 2012, in two mental health care services in the municipality of Imperatriz, MA. The data were analyzed according to Bardim's content analysis technique. The care provided by alcohol dependent mothers predisposes the children to vulnerable health, as the mother's cognitive capacities and childcare skills are affected. The study shows the importance of this investigation by nurses in order to create strategies to deal with alcoholism and to exchange experiences on appropriate childcare together with alcoholic mothers.
