El estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer las experiencias de maternidad de mujeres haitianas, indagando en los factores que facilitan o dificultan el cuidado de la salud de sus hijos en Chile. Se realizó una investigación cualitativa, basada en 20 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a mujeres migrantes, facilitadores interculturales e integrantes de equipos de salud de atención primaria. La salud mental emergió como una de las dimensiones en las que las mujeres presentan factores de riesgo asociados a: contradicciones entre modelos de maternidad y crianza; la sensación de soledad y la pérdida de redes que viven en el contexto migratorio; la exposición a embarazos no deseados por falta de acceso y conocimiento del sistema de salud chileno y situaciones de violencia intrafamiliar, frente a las que las mujeres tienen escasa capacidad de denuncia. Los hallazgos demuestran la necesidad de desarrollar estrategias para mejorar la pesquisa de problemas de salud mental en mujeres migrantes, así como para superar las barreras encontradas en materia de salud sexual y reproductiva. -- The aim of this study was to understand the maternity experiences of Haitian women by focusing on the factors that have facilitated or perhaps hindered the health care of their children in Chile. The article draws on a qualitative research based on 20 semi-structured interviews with migrant women, intercultural facilitators, and members of primary care health teams. Mental health emerged as one of the dimensions in which migrant mothers present risk factors associated with the contradictions between the models of motherhood promoted by the health services and those implemented by Haitian women, the feeling of loneliness, and the loss of networks that live in the migratory context and exposure to unwanted pregnancies due to lack of access of the Chilean health system and situations of domestic violence, against which women have little capacity to report. The findings show the need to develop strategies to detect problems regarding mental health problems in migrant women, as well as the lack of access to contraception and information regarding their sexual and reproductive rights.
