O significado da humanização do parto sob o ponto de vista da mulher

Abstract

The Humanization is a movement present in women's care included in the guidelines of care by health professionals, with nurses as one of the main authors of these processes. The moment when women give birth and give birth are periods marked by meanings based on these issues, seeking to place women and their families at the center of care, ensuring that their choices, desires and needs are respected and met throughout the process. And, understanding the meaning of humanizing childbirth from the woman's point of view, in order to contribute to the improvement of prenatal care and childbirth, is the objective of the study in question. This is a qualitative, exploratory and basic research, with the procedure being semi-structured interviews, with open questions, which will be recorded and transcribed with content analysis, with the participation of 05 women who gave birth between the month of January and July 2023. The results obtained allowed us to identify three thematic axes from the studies analyzed: 1) Experiences and meanings attributed to the humanization of childbirth; 2) Importance of assistance in promoting knowledge about humanization and respect for reproductive rights; 3) Prevailing levels of lack of knowledge on the topic. Data analysis revealed that, from a woman's point of view, the humanization of childbirth is intrinsically linked to values of respect and acceptance, highlighting female protagonism in this context. In conclusion, the need to train health professionals to provide truly humanized care is highlighted, covering the period from prenatal care to postpartum. This approach aims to train and empower women, contributing to the propagation of the principles of humanizing childbirth.
