Abstract

This article presents a University Extension Actions Program based on a Participatory-Action Research (PAR), which was focused on the situation of mothers who accompany their children when they require hospitalization in the Buenos Aires suburbs. From the perspective of social constructionism and understanding that health institutions repeat gender stereotypes associated with motherhood, the PAR contributed to clarifying how the vision that health professionals have about the maternal role affects their relationship with mothers, attending the hospital. The Program presented, highlights this finding with Extension Actions that promote a responsibility of shared caring, associated with a non-oppressive subjective identification.
