Memórias de puérperas sobre a assistência de enfermeiros na gestação e puerpério

Abstract

Introduction: The experience of motherhood for primiparous women is a moment of passage and concerns physical and emotional changes. This experience needs to be welcomed by health teams from primary care to medium and high complexity. Therefore, in the usual risk prenatal care, the generalist nurse and the obstetrician nurse must be in the care teams, maintaining the quality of prenatal, childbirth and postpartum care. The attention to women in a humanized way can contribute to the experience of a more satisfactory postpartum period. Objectives: to recognize the perceptions of puerperal women in the care actions given by nurses in a School Hospital. Methods: qualitative, exploratory study, carried out in a Federal School Hospital, linked to a public university. The group in this study was composed of 13 primiparous women, who gave birth to their children through normal delivery or cesarean section in the second half of 2021. An interview was carried out using the Google Meet platform between the 30th and 45th day postpartum with the following question: What does it mean to me to be a woman and a puerperal for the first time? The analysis was performed using the Iramuteq software (Interface R pous les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires – Version 0.7 alpha 2) Results: the corpus of the 13 interviews generated 308 Elementary Context Units (ECU). The Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) retained 254 UCE, with an 82.47% success rate and five classes; the most frequent lexicon was nurse (a), with a frequency of 23 citations in the text segments. Conclusions: it was possible to recognize the nurse as a professional promoter of humanized practices in childbirth care, by the participants' reports about the reception received at the time of childbirth and the immediate postpartum period.
