Abstract
La investigación etnográfica se realizó en el distrito de Chugay, provincia de Sánchez Carrión, con el propósito de dimensionar y analizar las concepciones sobre el significado del cuidado materno al recién nacido en una zona rural andina. Participaron 15 informantes, y las técnicas etnográficas para la recolección de datos incluyeron entrevistas semiestructuradas, observación participante y notas de campo. El análisis de los discursos permitió identificar siete dominios culturales, tomando como marco de referencia a Leininger (1985) y Spradley (1979). A partir de las taxonomías elaboradas, se estableció el tema central: “Abrigándolos con amor y ternura, nuestros caishitas crecen jaquecitos”, que refleja el significado cultural del cuidado materno al recién nacido, y los subtemas: Cuidamos a nuestros caishitas conservando nuestras creencias, costumbres y en armonía con todos; Mi familia me guía y orienta, su experiencia, conocimientos nos brindan tranquilidad para cuidar a nuestro caishita y El bienestar de nuestro caishita también es preocupación del personal de salud; conceptos holísticos que permitieron dimensionar las creencias y prácticas culturales que facilitan un cuidado adecuado por parte de la madre y que se transmiten de generación en generación. Se concluye que las madres de la zona rural simbolizan el cuidado a través del amor y la ternura, para brindar un cuidado adecuado a sus neonatos, es fundamental que mantengan un equilibrio físico y emocional, relaciones positivas y armoniosas con la familia, la comunidad y la naturaleza. Además, deben respetar sus prácticas culturales, creencias y costumbres.
The ethnographic research was conducted in the Chugay district, Sánchez Carrión province, with the purpose of dimensioning and analyzing the conceptions regarding the meaning of maternal care for newborns in a rural Andean area. Fifteen informants participated, and the ethnographic data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and field notes. The discourse analysis allowed for the identification of seven cultural domains, using Leininger (1985) and Spradley (1979) as reference frameworks. From the developed taxonomies, the central theme was established: “Wrapping them with love and tenderness, our caishitas grow strong”, which reflects the cultural significance of maternal care for newborns. The subthemes included: We care for our caishitas by preserving our beliefs, customs, and living in harmony with all; My family guides and supports me, their experience and knowledge provide us with peace of mind in caring for our caishita; and The well-being of our caishita is also a concern of health personnel. These holistic concepts allowed for the dimensioning of the cultural beliefs and practices that facilitate adequate maternal care and are transmitted from generation to generation. It is concluded that mothers in rural areas symbolize care through love and tenderness, to provide adequate care for their newborns, it is essential for them to maintain a physical and emotional balance, as well as positive and harmonious relationships with family, community, and nature. Additionally, they must respect their cultural practices, beliefs, and customs.
