Abstract

Postpartum, there may be a number of changes in the health of the mother and the newborn. The puerperal consultation serves to establish conduct aimed at the proper interval, which protects the woman and improves perinatal outcomes. The inclusion of puerperal consultation as extensive action and inclusive of prenatal care, is being promoted vigorously since the implementation of the Comprehensive Assistance Program to Women's Health. This intervention project is proposed to implement the nursing consultation postpartum clinic of the University of Brasilia Hospital and strengthen the role of the nurse in the outpatient nursing consultation. It is a descriptive study of qualitative approach to research type action, with theoretical research in data bases LILACS and SciELO. Considering the importance of the postpartum period and considering the postpartum consultation as an important moment in the health care of women, ignorance on the part of pregnant and postpartum women about the need for professional support at this crucial moment was notorious. There was also great absenteeism rate in postpartum consultations, can associate this to factors such as lack of encouragement and guidance during prenatal care in hospital stay in rooming and at discharge, in addition to individual difficulties of mothers. The implementation of puerperal nursing consultation is a proposal for a permanent intervention in the outpatient clinic of the HUB to be monitored and evaluated constantly so that the health care of women is quality.
