Projeto de intervenção adesão aos métodos não Farmacológicos para alívio da dor no trabalho de parto no Hospital Universitário de Brasília

Abstract

Labor is characterized by mechanical and hormonal changes that promote uterine contractions, resulting in dilation of the cervix and decreased fetal presentation. In the dilation stage, the pain is visceral, poorly localized, diffuse and intermittent. On the other hand, in the fetal descent phase, the pain has a somatic component, is more intense, well localized and continuous. An important task for midwifery practitioners is to help women cope with labor pain, which can be achieved through non-pharmacological methods, important tools used during labor. The intervention project was developed with nursing professionals involved in childbirth care at the Obstetric Center of the University Hospital of Brasília-HUB and aimed to promote the effective adherence of these professionals to such methods. With this intervention, it was verified that more than 60% of the women admitted to the Obstetric Center during the period evaluated received information related to non-pharmacological methods and performed the same. Thus, it is expected to have made the team aware of the relevance of routinely applying these lightweight technologies on a day-to-day basis, helping to reduce pain discomfort to the parturient at that time.
