PERCEPTION OF THE NURSING TEAM ON HUMANIZED LABOR

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: HUMANIZED CHILDBIRTH IS UNDERSTOOD AS A SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION HAS ADOPTED TO PROMOTE VAGINAL DELIVERY, BREASTFEEDING, JOINT HOUSING, THE PRESENCE OF A COMPANION, REDUCTION OF TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN THE PROGRESS OF CHILDBIRTH, MECHANICAL TECHNIQUES OF PAIN RELIEF AND THE CAUTIOUS USE OF INDUCTION AT CHILDBIRTH. THE CONCEPT OF HUMANIZED CARE IS BROAD AND COMPLEX, ENCOMPASSING VARIOUS KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICES AND ATTITUDES AIMED AT PROMOTING HEALTHY CHILDBIRTH AND BIRTH, WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO THE PREVENTION OF MATERNAL AND PERINATAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. PURPOSE: TO DESCRIBE THE VIEW OF THE NURSING TEAM REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE FIRST FRUITS OF HUMANIZED CHILDBIRTH IN A PHILANTHROPIC MATERNITY IN THE CITY OF ANÁPOLIS-GO. METHODOLOGY: THIS IS AN EXPLORATORY, LONGITUDINAL, DESCRIPTIVE STUDY WITH A QUALITATIVE APPROACH, BASED ON FIELD RESEARCH, FROM MARCH TO JULY, 2016. THE RESEARCH SITE WAS THE MATERNAL AND CHILD SECTOR OF THE SANTA CASA DE MISERICÓRDIA PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION ACCREDITED TO THE SAFE MOTHERHOOD PROJECT AND HUMANIZED CHILDBIRTH) IN THE CITY OF ANÁPOLIS-GOI�S. RESULTS: A SAMPLE OF 24 PROFESSIONALS FROM THE NURSING TEAM WHO WORK IN THE MATERNITY SECTOR AND HAVE DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE PARTURIENTS. THE MAJORITY OF THE PARTICIPANTS PRESENTED AGE BETWEEN THE INTERVAL GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 21 YEARS AND LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 35 YEARS, DECLARED THE BROWN COLOR, MARRIED CIVIL STATUS AND COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL. MOST OF THE PARTICIPANTS PERFORM THE FUNCTION OF NURSING TECHNIQUE, FOLLOWED BY NURSES AND A NURSING AUXILIARY MINORITY. THE PERIOD OF SERVICE IN THE INSTITUTION PREVAILED BETWEEN 2 AND 12 YEARS. MOST SAID THEY HAD NOT BEEN TRAINED TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES. THERE WAS A BALANCE BETWEEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMANIZED DELIVERY POLICY AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE STUDY PARTICIPANTS. SPECIFICALLY, TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES HAVE BEEN DEMARCATED, PROVIDING ASSISTANCE IN THE PRE-DELIVERY AND DELIVERY ROOM AND KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO PERFORM THEIR DUTIES. EACH ONE OF THEM WITH ITS SUBCATEGORIES, RESPECTIVELY THE LABOR PASSAGE AND THE ASSISTANCE OF THE MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAM AT THE TIME OF THE HUMANIZED BIRTH; AND LACK OF RECOGNITION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR FUNCTIONS, LACK OF TRAINING AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE POLICIES DIRECTED TOWARDS HUMANIZED CHILDBIRTH. CONCLUSION: THE INSTITUTION IS MOVING SLOWLY TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT THE POLICIES AIMED AT HUMANIZED CHILDBIRTH, IT IS STILL NECESSARY TO INVEST IN PHYSICAL STRUCTURE, HUMAN RESOURCES, PERMANENT EDUCATION AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS AMONG THE MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAM.
