| Resumo: | The COVID-19 pandemic has had a social, economic, physical, and emotional health negative impact on the population, with women being one of the most affected groups. The objective of this work was to identify the difficulties and solution strategies of mothers of school-aged boys and girls, who were participants in a virtual self-help group during the COVID-19 confinement. Data was collected through documentary analysis and in depth questioning in the self-help group. The virtual field work was carried out during May and June 2020. During the pandemic, the main difficulties experienced by mothers of young children aged 3 to 12 years were: the overload of activities, stress, and exhaustion. This caused them feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, irritability, tiredness, and emotions of guilt and fear. The results made it possible to show the vulnerability of women, based on gender socialization, that has promoted an unequal distribution of roles and activities between both genders, assigning a greater burden of responsibilities to them. The importance of strengthening self-care, a social support network and co-responsibility with partners to face adverse situations is highlighted. |
