Pré natal de baixo risco e puerpério: proposta de implantação de um protocolo de Enfermagem

Abstract

The Family Health Program is an important strategy for the reordering of health care as advocated in the principles and guidelines of the Unified Health System. Integrality in health care is defined as a Unified Health System principle guiding policy and programmatic actions that respond to the policies and needs of the population in access to health care network. Prenatal care should be a priority for the team and when it's conducted with quality, it avoids both maternal and child mortality. Whereas in primary care, consultations prenatal and postpartum can be performed by the physician or nurse, the importance of proper prenatal care and early access to such assistance can positively affect the quality of it , the present study aimed to develop a proposed clinical protocol nursing prenatal and postpartum low risk for the municipality of Araponga/MG . This is a narrative review based on literature researches in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) site, the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the Virtual Library of NESCON in the period of January to May 2013. We concluded that there is a need to organize the work processes in primary care in the city. The proposed organization aims to improve the quality of access to prenatal care for all women attending Basic Health Units through programmed nursing care throughout the pregnancy and childbirth systematization. Backed by a clinical protocol we believe that the nursing actions can be more effective and the link between these professionals and pregnant women in their coverage area may narrow, improving the quality of antenatal care and promoting decentralization of care.
