Abstract

Motherhood is a unique and special moment for many mothers, surrounded by joys and discoveries, but also by many challenges. Several women need to reconcile motherhood with work, studies, friends, family and many other daily demands, all at the same time. The rapid change and the need to adapt to a new routine, added to the lack of time, can interfere with their parental and student relationships. Faced with so many discoveries and changes, technology can be an ally in this regard. By using a simple smartphone, it is possible to quantify physiological data that help to explore and reflect on how the individual behaves in certain situations, such as the example of mothers and their endless demands, added to moments of stress and anxiety. The present work aims to understand some nuances of the physiological impact and psycho-emotional aspects of factors, such as stress and anxiety, which can interfere with the speech and parental relationships of women who are mothers and undergraduate and/or graduate students. The research fits in the quantitative and qualitative character and had 12 student mothers from various undergraduate and graduate courses. Initially, an online data collection was carried out using the sociodemographic questionnaire and the Stress, Anxiety and Depression Scale (DASS-21), in order to investigate the perception of physiological symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Then, from interviews, via whatsapp application, it was possible to acquire data to correlate speech rate carac/s with levels of stress, anxiety and depression. As a result, most mothers showed normal, mild and moderate symptoms for stress and anxiety, while a smaller portion showed severe levels for anxiety and depression. About the correlation, it was possible to identify that the mothers who presented a higher speed in their speeches, demonstrated higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression, while the mothers who presented a lower speed in their speeches, lower were the rates of stress, anxiety and depression. depression. Finally, it is concluded that it is important to look at this group of people in society, as a reflection on their well-being entails the health and well-being of society as a whole.
