Mães trabalhadoras-estudantes, gestão de fronteiras entre papéis, COVID-19Resumo
Este estudo qualitativo aborda as experiências de mães trabalhadoras-estudantes na gestão de fronteiras entre papéis durante o período de confinamento devido à pandemia por COVID-19. Recorreu-se à análise temática para analisar as experiências e as consequências do esbatimento de fronteiras entre papéis decorrente das circunstâncias de trabalho remoto, encerramento das escolas e aprendizagem à distância assim como as estratégias usadas para lidar com as solicitações decorrentes dos três papéis, a saber: mãe, trabalhadora e estudante. Participaram no focus group via Zoom oito estudantes do ensino superior, tendo emergido diversas experiências do esbatimento de fronteiras entre papéis e barreiras a uma conciliação satisfatória de todos estes. Analisaram-se as estratégias para lidar com as solicitações permanentes, sendo que estas parecem ter um efeito reduzido no ajustamento e no bem-estar das mães trabalhadoras-estudantes no dia-a-dia de confinamento. Analisaram-se ainda as implicações da experiência e do impacto do confinamento na gestão dos papéis desempenhados.
