Fortalecimento de boas práticas de atenção ao parto e ao nascimento em uma maternidade pública do Recife – PE

Abstract

In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a guide to best practices in dealing with normal childbirth in order to guide the conduct of health professionals in order to promote healthy birth and to combat high rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although this document is widely disseminated, hypermedicalization is considered to be one of the major maternal health problems. Medications such as oxytocin have been used in most vaginal deliveries, while cesarean section has become the most common birth route. It is possible to observe in the daily life of the Obstetric Center (COB) of the Barros Lima Maternity, that most technicians and nursing assistants are limited to the measurement of signs, medication administration and filling of forms and do not attend directly the woman in their process of childbirth The project aimed to strengthen the good practices of attention to childbirth and birth in the COB, in order to sensitize the nursing professionals who work in the delivery room, and that they can understand the importance of their work in the face of childbirth and birth, and so provide quality assistance, so that women feel welcomed and can experience this moment in an intense and pleasurable way. The strategy used was talk and slide presentation in the sector itself, COB, in a timely manner during the shifts, so that there was a greater representation of professionals. The expected result is to expand and consolidate the actions and information pertinent to nursing technicians and assistants facing the good practices of attention to childbirth.
