The number of women in the work force in Brazil is increasing, and a pattern of early work participation and a later decline continues to be manifested. The maternal role is a central role for these women. We investigated the quality of the maternal role as perceived by women who hold clerical jobs in a southern Brazilian city. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from a random sample of 60 women. Thirty-three of these women were mothers with one or more children. Maternal role likes, dislikes, and stresses were obtained through questionnaires. Coping strategies and resources to cope with the maternal role needs were also obtained. Analytical categories were developed for each of these variables and the analysis was completed through the use of a qualitative computer program.
巴西劳动力中的女性数量在不断增加，早期工作参与和后期下降的模式仍在持续显现。母亲的角色对这些女性来说至关重要。我们调查了巴西南部一个城市从事文职工作的女性所感知到的母亲角色质量。从60名女性的随机样本中收集了定性和定量数据。其中33名女性是有一个或多个孩子的母亲。通过问卷调查获得了对母亲角色的喜爱、厌恶和压力等方面的信息。还获得了应对母亲角色需求的应对策略和资源。针对这些变量中的每一个都制定了分析类别，并通过使用定性计算机程序完成了分析。
