(Res)significando o parto: uma análise cartográfica da vivência de mulheres

Abstract

Over time, much has been discussed about the humanization of childbirth and birth, but a challenge has still been set before us for the implementation of this philosophy in health services and institutions that provide assistance to women and their newborns, seeking satisfaction of these actors. In just over a century, childbirth has ceased to be an experience of the familiar and intimate environment, shared only by women, to become a practice dominated by interventionist actions, where the technocratic and medicalized model predominates. In this perspective, the promotion of humanized delivery and birth seeks a care model that is based on knowledge of scientific evidence, which leads to the implementation of proven beneficial practices, and to the rescue of women's autonomy in this type of assistance. Hence the importance of the multidisciplinary team's performance in childbirth care, providing recognition of childbirth as an apical event of femininity, on which social, emotional, psychological, affective, spiritual forces act and - above all - in a subjective, unique and non transferable configuration. , respecting the scientific evidence that guides this work. The main objective of this study was to understand the trajectory and perceptions that (res) mean labor and delivery in women's experiences. This is a qualitative study, with production of data in the field and interpretation guided by the philosophical theoretical framework of cartography. Data were produced from 10 interviews with women who received childbirth assistance in institutions in public and/or private health institutions in the city of Montes Claros/MG that provide delivery and birth care services. The results of the interpretation process are presented through five technical-scientific products: Delivering the labor and birth process by a user-guide (article 1); The rebirth of femininity in the (re)signification of childbirth (article 2); Protocol: Non-pharmacological methods of pain relief (POP); of Comics: Non-pharmacological methods of pain relief (Educational Booklet) and E-book: To be produced. The results showed that the study made it possible to understand that women do not want to escape institutional care, but seek care based on guidance, information and welcoming, but also seek to have a team that is not only competent and technical, but also human and encourages their protagonism through the knowledge of their inner power in the parturition process. Mapping this network of meanings gives rise to new implications beyond this research, being attentive and sensitive to new rhizomes to be built in this scenario of childbirth care in which all of us women are somehow inserted. Finally, mapping the experience of women in labor and birth care is still necessary. Therefore, it is important that we seek to map how other users, nationally and internationally (res) signify this assistance in their reality. Because childbirth care practices may still be based on the patriarchy of medicalization and gender violence, not only at the national level, but also at the global level. In short, in biopower relations. By continuing future investigations, we will be able to contribute so that many other women can (re)signify childbirth in a more humane, safer and quality way in this care production.
