Boas práticas no parto: implementação no acolhimento em uma maternidade no Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

This study aimed at making the nursing team aware of the importance of implementing good practices in the assistance of women in labor. The intervention study was carried out in October, 2015, at the “Hospital da Mulher Parteira Maria Correia” (Midwife Woman Maria Correia Hospital), in the Admission section. The study had three stages. First, a review on the literature about the good practices for delivery and childbirth; second, the elaboration of an illustrative poster; and third, the implementation of a conversational circle, a strategy to develop the good practices. Ten professionals participated on this study, two nurses and eight technicians. In order to evaluate the strategy, two questions about the theme were made before and after the intervention, respectively. What do you know about the good assistant practices on delivery and childbirth? How would you describe the good practices learned on the conversational circle? The results showed deeper learning about the practices as well as the interest in the implementation of the conversational circle in order to improve the activities of the institution. Thus, it was concluded that the training in service is essential for discussing the real situations lived daily, and then to improve the assistance, in particular, in obstetrics.
