To analyze nursing mothers' social representations of sexuality in the breastfeeding context and their repercussions in sexual and reproductive health.
An exploratory study grounded on the Theory of Social Representations and conducted in a Human Milk Bank from northern Brazil with 110 nursing mothers, following the Free Word Association Technique. Data were analyzed by means of Correspondence Factor Analysis in the software Tri- Deux-Mots 5.1.
Sexual intercourse was the significant expression of sexualities, reflected in the representation of this phenomenon in breastfeeding, anchored in cultural gender relations; meanwhile, the search for sexual desire and pleasure connected to the ideal of romantic love arises. The bodily and daily changes inherent to this period take on an unfavorable connotation and become naturalized over time, negatively influencing nursing mothers' sexual and reproductive health.
Understanding sexuality/sexualities in the breastfeeding context can support Nursing and Health care models in line with the social experiences and thoughts of the different groups of nursing mothers.
分析哺乳期母亲在母乳喂养背景下对性的社会表征及其对性与生殖健康的影响。
一项基于社会表征理论的探索性研究，在巴西北部的一家母乳库对110名哺乳期母亲进行，采用自由词联想技术。数据在软件Tri-Deux-Mots 5.1中通过对应因子分析进行分析。
性交是性取向的重要表现，反映在母乳喂养中这一现象的表征里，其基于文化中的性别关系；与此同时，与浪漫爱情理想相关的性欲和快感的探寻也随之出现。这一时期固有的身体和日常变化具有不利的内涵，并随着时间的推移而自然化，对哺乳期母亲的性与生殖健康产生负面影响。
了解母乳喂养背景下的性取向/性倾向有助于建立符合不同哺乳期母亲群体社会经历和思想的护理与医疗保健模式。
