ABSTRACT

Objetivo: compreender as motivações das mulheres na escolha do parto domiciliar planejado e as percepções dessa vivência. Método: estudo descritivo, exploratório e qualitativo, desenvolvido com 14 mulheres que vivenciaram um parto domiciliar planejado entre janeiro de 2019 e dezembro de 2020. As entrevistas foram realizadas entre março e maio de 2021, transcritas na íntegra e submetidas à análise de conteúdo. Resultados: a análise possibilitou compreender que as motivações para escolha do parto domiciliar planejado estiveram relacionadas ao sentimento de medo das práticas obstétricas hospitalares. A segurança no ambiente domiciliar, a garantia da autonomia e a possibilidade da presença dos filhos foram tanto motivações como percepções positivas dessa vivência. A resistência por parte da sociedade foi frequentemente vivenciada. Conclusão: o modelo obstétrico vigente precisa ser repensado e readequado, com vistas à oferta assistência ao parto segura e respeitosa, seja em âmbito domiciliar ou hospitalar.

Objective to understand the motivations of women in choosing the planned home birth and the perceptions of this experience. Method: descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study, developed with 14 women who experienced a planned home birth between January 2019 and December 2020. The interviews were conducted between March and May 2021, transcribed in full and submitted to content analysis. Results: the allowed understanding that the motivations for choosing planned home birth were related to the feeling of fear of hospital obstetric practices. Safety in the home environment, the guarantee of autonomy and the possibility of the presence of children were both motivations and positive perceptions of this experience. Resistance on the part of society was often experienced. Conclusion: the current obstetric model needs to be rethought and readjusted, in order to provide safe and respectful birth, whether at home or in the hospital.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: descrever a escolha do parto domiciliar planejado acompanhado por enfermeira obstétrica em um centro urbano de grande porte, na perspectiva de mulheres brasileiras. Métodos: estudo qualitativo guiado pela Grounded Theory. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres com idade entre 20 e 41 anos que tiveram parto domiciliar planejado acompanhadas por enfermeiras obstétricas. As participantes foram recrutadas por meio de rede social, acessando um grupo de mulheres que escreveram sobre seu parto domiciliar. Resultados: Emergiram duas categorias: Não vendo possibilidade de parir naturalmente no ambiente hospitalar e Pensando na segurança do parto domiciliar planejado. O hospital representou vários aspectos desfavoráveis como intervenções desnecessárias e solidão. As mulheres consideravam o lar um lugar seguro para parir, conectado aos cuidados de enfermeiras obstétricas. Conclusão: há mulheres que não desejam parir no hospital, preferindo parir em casa e do ponto de vista dos direitos humanos e dos cuidados desmedicalizados, as enfermeiras obstétricas devem apoiar as mulheres nessa sua decisão.


Objective: to describe the choice of planned homebirth attended by a nurse midwife in a large urban centre, from the perspective of Brazilian women. Methods: in this Grounded Theory study, ten women aged 20 to 41 years, who had a planned homebirth accompanied by a nurse midwife, were interviewed. Participants were recruited through a social network by accessing a group of women who wrote about their homebirth. Results: two categories emerged: seeing no possibility of giving birth naturally in the hospital environment; and thinking about the safety of a planned homebirth. Hospital represented several unfavourable aspects, such as unnecessary interventions and loneliness. Women thought of home as a safe place to give birth, connected with nurse midwife care. Conclusion: there are women who do not wish to give birth in hospital, but prefer to give birth at home and, from the point of view of human rights and de-medicalized care, nurse midwives should support women in their decision.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Birth cultures have been transforming in recent years mainly affecting birth care and its socio-political contexts. This situation has affected the feeling of well-being in women at the time of giving birth. AIM: For this reason, our objective was to analyse the social meaning that women ascribe to home births in the Chilean context. METHOD: We conducted thirty semi-structured interviews with women living in diverse regions ranging from northern to southern Chile, which we carried out from a theoretical-methodological perspective of phenomenology and situated knowledge. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyse the information collected in the field work. FINDINGS: A qualitative thematic analysis produced the following main theme: 1) Home birth journeys. Two sub-categories: 1.1) Making the decision to give birth at home, 1.2) Giving birth: (re)birth. And four sub-categories also emerged: 1.1.1) Why do I need to give birth at home? 1.1.2) The people around me don't support me; 1.2.1) Shifting emotions during home birth, 1.2.2) I (don't) want to be alone. CONCLUSION: We concluded that home births involve an intense and diverse range of satisfactions and tensions, the latter basically owing to the sociocultural resistance surrounding women. For this reason, they experienced home birth as an act of protest and highly valued the presence of midwives and their partners.

ABSTRACT

Planned home birth (PHB) has grown in Brazil, especially in large urban centers, in the face of women's dissatisfaction with the current obstetric system. International studies have demonstrated the security of PHB, but national production about this area is still limited. Thus, this study aimed to review the national bibliographic production about PHB between 2008 and 2018, in order to compile data related to PHB in Brazil. After survey, 18 studies were included in the review, and then subdivided into the following categories: "Maternal and neonatal outcomes of PHB", "Feelings, motivation and personal characteristics of women that choose PHB", "Perception of professionals that practice PHB" and "Theoretical approach to PHB". It was concluded that the PHB has grown between privileged portions of Brazilian population, representing the important practice of women's autonomy, presenting itself as a safe alternative place of birth, with a high degree of satisfaction of women and families. However, this model of assistance presents itself as a limited option, since the PHB is not offered by the Health System, still unaccessible to most of women in the country.


O parto domiciliar planejado (PDP) tem crescido cada vez mais no Brasil, especialmente nos grandes centros urbanos, frente à crescente insatisfação das mulheres com o sistema obstétrico hospitalar vigente. Estudos internacionais demonstram a segurança do PDP, porém a produção nacional ainda é limitada nesta área. Desta maneira, este estudo objetivou revisar a produção bibliográfica nacional acerca de parto domiciliar entre os anos de 2008 e 2018, a fim de compilar dados relacionados ao PDP no Brasil. Após levantamento, 18 estudos foram incluídos na revisão, sendo subdivididos nas seguintes categorias: "Desfechos maternos e neonatais dos PDP", "Sentimentos, motivação e perfis associados à escolha pelo PDP", "Percepção dos profissionais que atendem PDP" e "Abordagem teórica do PDP". Concluiu-se que o PDP tem crescido entre parcelas privilegiadas da população, representando importante prática de exercício da autonomia da mulher em contraponto ao modelo obstétrico vigente, apresentando-se como alternativa segura de local de parto, com alto grau de satisfação para as mulheres e famílias. Este modelo de assistência, entretanto, apresenta-se como opção limitada, uma vez que o PDP não é oferecido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde, ainda inacessível para a maioria das mulheres no país.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Haiti's maternal mortality, stillbirth, and neonatal mortality rates are the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean. Despite inherent risks, the majority of women still deliver at home without supervision from a skilled birth attendant. The purpose of this study was to elucidate factors driving this decision. METHODS: We conducted six focus group discussions with women living in urban (N = 14) or rural (N = 17) areas and asked them questions pertaining to their reasons for delivering at a facility or at home, perceptions of staff at the health facility, experiences with or knowledge of facility or home deliveries, and prior pregnancy experiences (if relevant). We also included currently pregnant women to learn about their plans for delivery, if any. RESULTS: All of the women interviewed acknowledged similar perceived benefits of a facility birth, which were a reduced risk of complications during pregnancy and access to emergency care. However, many women also reported unfavorable birthing experiences at facilities. We identified four key thematic concerns that underpinned women's negative assessments of a facility birth: being left alone, feeling ignored, being subject to physical immobility, and lack of compassionate touch/care. Taken together, these concerns articulated an overarching sense of what we term "isolation," which encompasses feelings of being isolated in the hospital during delivery. CONCLUSION: Although Haitian women recognized that a facility was a safer place for birthing than the home, an overarching stigma of patient neglect and isolation in facilities was a major determining factor in choosing to deliver at home. The Haitian maternal mortality rate is high and will not be lowered if women continue to feel that they will not receive comfort and compassionate touch/care at a facility compared to their experience of delivering with traditional birth attendants at home. Based on these results, we recommend that all secondary and tertiary facilities offering labor and delivery services develop patient support programs, where women are better supported from admission through the labor and delivery process, including but not limited to improvements in communication, privacy, companionship (if deemed safe), respectful care, attention to pain during vaginal exams, and choice of birth position.

AIM: understand the resilience process of women who had the planned home birth transferred to the hospital. METHOD: this is an exploratory study that uses a qualitative approach performed with ten women who planned home birth, but who, for some reason, had to be transferred to the hospital. The data collection was performed through semi-structured interviews, analyzed by content analysis of the thematic type. RESULTS: it was found that all the interviewees experienced the trauma due to the hospital transfer, but only one reached the final stage of the resilience process, the adaptation. CONCLUSION: the participation of obstetrical nurses in this process is fundamental, since it can help these women to find factors that can develop the process of resilience through dialogue, understanding, openness and acceptance. This will make it possible to understand the other in its totality, and to capture their pains and insecurities through a humanized relationship.

ABSTRACT

Estudo qualitativo com objetivo de compreender a percepção dos profissionais no acompanhamento do parto domiciliar planejado. Foram entrevistados oito profissionais que atuaram em partos domiciliares, em Cascavel/PR. A análise revelou que o domicílio, enquanto local de assistência, possibilita o protagonismo da mulher e da família pela tranquilidade, calma e autonomia. O ambiente é seguro quando se segue requisitos como baixo risco gestacional, avaliação adequada, no decorrer da evolução do parto, presença de materiais adequados, rede transdisciplinar e local pré-definido para encaminhamentos. Os profissionais apontam, ainda, como fundamental, a participação familiar no processo. Conclui-se que o parto domiciliar é uma excelente estratégia para transformar e melhorar a qualidade da atenção obstétrica.

ABSTRACT

This paper is a descriptive exploratory study developed with the objective of getting acquainted with life experiences, preparation,feelings and motivations of women who have chosen home childbirth. The subjects of the research comprised ten women who had at least one experience of home childbirth in Porto Alegre, in the last five years. The data was gathered through semi-structured interviews, which were analyzed according to Minayo's proposal. It indicates that the women who opted for home childbirth don't accept what the hospital system offers to women in labor at present time, but they do recognize that, for a few women, hospital delivery is the best choice, whether for reasons that involve personal decisions or health ones.
