ABSTRACT

Objective:

to build string literature to support mothers with children hospitalized in a neonatal unit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method:

a methodological research study conducted in June 2020, in two stages: 1. Bibliographic survey, in which searches were conducted in the Portal of Good Practices in Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (Portal de Boas Práticas em Saúde da Mulher, da Criança e do Adolescente) of the Fiocruz Foundation and in the SciELO, BDENF and LILACS databases. An instrument was used for data analysis; 2. Elaboration of the string, with textual elaboration and production of the stanzas.

Results:

the string built, “Mainha e Seu Milagre” (“Mum and Her Miracle”), consists of 13 “septilhas”, stanzas with seven verses, and addresses in its content the emotions of mothers with children hospitalized in a neonatal unit during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusion:

the string aims at providing support to the health institutions that have a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit regarding the mental health of the mothers and at offering guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
