Conhecimentos e caminhos para a violência obstétrica: percepção de mulheres e profissionais

Abstract

Obstetric violence has been gaining ground in discussions about maternal and child health care, with nursing as the foundation for implementing good obstetric care practices. The general aim of this study is to examine the literature on the knowledge and perceptions of parturient women and health professionals about obstetric violence, identifying ways of recognizing it and proposals for reducing it, as well as the meanings and impacts of this violence from the women's perspective. This is an integrative literature review using the LILACS, BDENF and Scielo databases with the following search key: (Obstetric violence AND health care AND Women's health). The selection was made from March to April 2024, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result, 8 articles were found in the databases, which resulted in two categories of analysis: I) Recognition and proposals from professionals to reduce obstetric violence and II) Obstetric violence from the perspective of women: forms, meanings, fears and pain. The study points out that obstetric violence has been gaining ground in discussions about maternal and child health care, with nursing as the foundation for implementing good obstetric care practices.
