In view of the current world pandemic situation caused by the new coronavirus, this period is facing new challenges, and the mother-child binomial can be characterized as a group particularly vulnerable to this reality. Thus, the present study took an exploratory and qualitative approach, observed six months of interactions in a virtual group, composed of 9 women, users of the basic health services of six Family Health Strategies in the Municipality of Currais Novos / RN. The investigated time period ran from January to June 2020, starting when the women were in the last weeks of pregnancy and following the entire puerperium, mostly occurring simultaneously with the pandemic state. The corpus resulting from the interactions was prepared, coded, revised, corrected and then submitted to the Descending Hierarchical Classification Analysis of the IRAMUTEQ software. The next step was analysing the content of the material obtained, according to Bardin. The exploration of the two dimensions obtained in this process, called "Health Care" and "Postpartum itineraries" revealed, among other things: the negative impact of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 on public access to basic services of the public health network specifically at this stage of life; the difficulties inherent to the routine and demand for postpartum care, and the limitations experienced at this moment. One factor that permeated the two dimensions was the discovery that the virtual group can act by strengthening the support network necessary to face the difficulties of the puerperium based on the exchange of experiences.Acesso AbertoPuerpérioApoio socialSuporte virtualInfecção por coronavírusCovid19masterThesis
