Abstract

Objective: To characterize the maternal care for children under one year of age with a view to child health promotion at home. Method: Exploratory study with qualitative data analysis, thematic mode, based on the conceptual framework of the essential needs of children, based on interviews recorded with 16 mothers. Results: The analysis of the maternal narratives showed elements that facilitate the promotion of child safety: Presence and involvement of the parents, constant surveillance for physical and emotional protection, experiences to stimulate child development, support networks for childcare at home; and inhibiting elements of child safety: Limited perception of characteristics of child development and of children’s singularities, overprotection and difficulties to set limits. Conclusion: The study enhances the understanding of home care in child health promotion, directing professional actions to guarantee ongoing nurturing relationships, protection, respect for individual differences, experiences appropriate to child development, limit setting and construction of stable and supportive social networks. In addition, the relevance of considering the maternal perspective in child health care is considered, as a strategy to apprehend aspects related to the attendance of the growth and development needs, particularly for child health promotion at home.
