OBJECTIVE: This review will map the literature on the types of research and methods used to investigate the wound-healing properties of Stryphnodendron adstringens (barbatimão) in skin and mucosa injuries. INTRODUCTION: Barbatimão is a Brazilian native plant and its wound-healing properties have been described in the literature since the colonial period. It is one of the 71 plants included in the Brazilian health system's national list of medicinal plants of interest. However, existing literature reviews on the subject are limited, not comprehensive, lack a search strategy, and lack peer review. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This scoping review will include all types of published and unpublished sources that investigate the wound-healing properties of barbatimão to treat any type of skin or mucosa injury in humans, animals, or in vitro, in any context. METHODS: A scoping review will be conducted according to the JBI methodology. The main databases to be searched will include Embase (EBSCOhost), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, PubMed (EBSCOhost), ScienceDirect, Lilacs, SciELO, CUIDEN, MOSAICO, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, and Google Scholar. Unpublished studies will also be considered. Two independent reviewers will examine titles and abstracts and select and read full-text sources for possible inclusion. Subsequently, the reviewers will extract and synthesize the data, which will be presented as a map, diagram, or table, according to the review objectives. DETAILS OF THE REVIEW ARE AVAILABLE IN OPEN SCIENCE FRAMEWORK: osf.io/w57m4.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the creation and validation process of an instructional, didactic and self-applied support tool for teaching-learning Post-Partum Haemorrhage care in simulated settings. BACKGROUND: Students frequently face difficulties performing the actions in the proper sequence in Post-Partum Haemorrhage simulated cases. Even in a controlled environment, anxiety, nervousness and fear of making mistakes are evident, which render the simulated experience highly stressful. Having a tool with a guideline can help students perform these actions more assertively. DESIGN: A methodological study to develop a didactic tool. METHODS: The creation process of the didactic tool, called Instructional Disk for the Management of Post-Partum Haemorrhage, was divided into five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation. Nine experts specialised in Obstetrics and Midwifery validated the tool by answering a questionnaire with nine items; in turn, 32 undergraduate Midwifery program students carried out the evaluation using a questionnaire on applicability, functionality, clarity, coherence and usability of the tool in Post-Partum Haemorrhage simulated stations. The data were analysed descriptively, considering absolute agreement when the answers to all questions in the five-point Likert scale corresponded to 5 (I totally agree). The Content Validity Index was calculated for the experts' questionnaires. RESULTS: In the validation stage, the experts agreed or totally agreed with all nine items, reaching a Content Validity Index = 1. In the total scores assigned by the experts, there was a variation between 80.0% and 100% absolute agreement, with a mean of 95.6%. In the students' assessment, the variation was between 87.5% and 100% absolute agreement, with a mean of 97.7%, in the eight items evaluated. The agreement level above 90% among experts and students was considered high. CONCLUSIONS: The Instructional Disk for the Management of Post-Partum Haemorrhage was validated by experts with extensive experience in Obstetrics and Midwifery care and teaching, ensuring that the content included in the guidelines for the management of Post-Partum Haemorrhage adopted in Brazil is covered. The students positively evaluated this support tool for learning the care to be provided in Post-Partum Haemorrhage cases in the simulated stations.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze pelvic floor muscular strength (PFMS), urinary (UI) and anal (AI) incontinence and dyspareunia in primiparous women up to 6 months after normal or cesarean delivery. METHODS: this is a prospective cohort with 169 women (128 normal births, 41 cesarean sections), followed between 50-70 and 170-190 days postpartum, when PFMS was measured using perineometry, and UI and AI and dyspareunia, through interview. RESULTS: PFMS, UI and dyspareunia were similar between types of delivery. The difference was significant only for the time elapsed, with improvement in the studied period (2 and 6 months postpartum). Regarding AI, there was a significant difference between 2 and 6 months postpartum, with an interaction between type of delivery and time (p=0.022). CONCLUSION: the type of delivery did not show any influence on pelvic floor dysfunctions, except for AI. For all outcomes, there was an improvement in the period studied.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze skin-to-skin contact practice in full-term newborns after birth. METHOD: a cross-sectional study carried out in São Paulo-SP with 78 mother-child binomials. Data were obtained from medical records and by non-participant observation. Maternal, neonatal and care conditions, length of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding attachment were analyzed. RESULTS: skin-to-skin contact was performed in 94.9% of births, with a mean length of 29 minutes. Births with intact perineum took longer, neonates with Apgar 10, without upper airway aspiration, assisted by a nurse-midwife and with neonatal assistance by a resident in pediatrics. The variables that favor breastfeeding attachment were perineal integrity, newborn with good vitality, without upper airway aspiration and who received professional assistance for breastfeeding attachment. CONCLUSION: skin-to-skin contact was performed in almost all births, but with less time than recommended as best practice.

Abstract Objective To describe the use of surgical glue to repair perineal trauma during normal delivery. Methods This is a case series study, which was carried out in three moments (up to 2 hours, 12-24 hours and 36-48 hours after delivery) in Itapecerica da Serra, SP. Women who had a normal delivery with perineal trauma with a suture (first or second degree laceration and episiotomy) were included. Perineal trauma was repaired exclusively with Glubran-2® surgical glue. Perineal pain intensity (11-point Visual Numeric Scale), healing process (15-point REEDA scale), satisfaction with repair (5-point Likert scale) were assessed. Data were analyzed in a descriptive and inferential way comparing the three moments. Results The technique of applying the glue and the required amount were defined in a sample of 19 women. Of these, 78.9% had first-degree lacerations, 15.8%, second-degree lacerations and 5.3%, episiotomy. The outcomes at moments 1, 2 and 3 were absence of pain (73.6%, 94.7% and 89.4%), score ≤1 on the REEDA scale (94.7%, 78.9% and 84, two%); 100% were satisfied with the repair at all times. There was no difference by the Friedman test for pain and satisfaction. The healing process showed a difference, but without confirmation in the hoc post-test. Conclusion The glue application proved to be viable for assessment in a larger sample of women, as the results suggest good acceptance by women and low or no pain, adequate healing and high satisfaction with the repair in the first 48 hours after delivery.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the intensity of pain, the healing process and women's satisfaction with the repair of perineal trauma during vaginal delivery using surgical glue or suture. METHOD: Cross-sectional study aligned with a clinical trial conducted at a maternity in Itapecerica da Serra, São Paulo. The sample consisted of women who were evaluated between 10 and 20 days after delivery. The outcomes were analyzed according to the distribution of women in the experimental group (EG: perineal repair with Glubran-2® surgical glue; n=55) and in the control group (CG: perineal repair with Vicryl® suture thread; n=55). RESULTS: 110 puerperal women were evaluated. There was no difference between EG and CG regarding sociodemographic and clinical-obstetric characteristics. The intensity of perineal pain, assessed by the visual numeric scale was lower among women in the EG compared to the CG (p<0.001). According to the REEDA scale, there was no significant difference in perineal healing (p=0.267) between EG and CG. The satisfaction of women with perineal repair, assessed using a five-point scale, was higher with the use of surgical glue (p=0.035). CONCLUSION: Surgical glue showed advantages in relation to perineal pain and greater satisfaction for women compared to the use of suture. The healing process was similar for both types of repair.

Objective to map the current knowledge on recommendations for labor, childbirth, and newborn (NB) care in the context of the novel coronavirus. Method scoping review of papers identified in databases, repositories, and reference lists of papers included in the study. Two researchers independently read the papers' full texts, extracted and analyzed data, and synthesized content. Results 19 papers were included, the content of which was synthesized and organized into two conceptual categories: 1) Recommendations concerning childbirth with three subcategories - Indications to anticipate delivery, Route of delivery, and Preparation of the staff and birth room, and 2) Recommendations concerning postpartum care with four categories - Breastfeeding, NB care, Hospital discharge, and Care provided to NB at home. Conclusion prevent the transmission of the virus in the pregnancy-postpartum cycle, assess whether there is a need to interrupt pregnancies, decrease the circulation of people, avoid skin-to-skin contact and water births, prefer epidural over general anesthesia, keep mothers who tested positive or are symptomatic isolated from NB, and encourage breastfeeding. Future studies are needed to address directed pushing, instrumental delivery, delayed umbilical cord clamping, and bathing NB immediately after birth.

OBJECTIVE: to map the production of knowledge regarding recommendations for providing care to pregnant women dealing with the novel coronavirus. METHOD: scoping review, using a broadened strategy to search databases and repositories, as well as the reference lists in the sources used. Data were collected and analyzed by two independent reviewers. Data were analyzed and synthesized in the form of a narrative. RESULTS: the final sample was composed of 24 records, the content of which was synthesized in these conceptual categories: clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, working pregnant women, vaccine development, complications, prenatal care, vertical transmission, and placental transmissibility. It is recommended to confirm pregnancy and disease early on, to use technological resources for screening and providing guidance and support to pregnant women. CONCLUSION: recommendations emphasize isolation, proper rest, sleep, nutrition, hydration, medications, and in the more severe cases, oxygen support, monitoring of vital signs, emotional support, and multiprofessional and individualized care. Medications should be used with caution due to a lack of evidence. Future research is needed to analyze the impact of the infection at the beginning of pregnancy and the psychological aspects of pregnant women infected with the virus.

Two researchers independently read the papers' full texts, extracted and analyzed data, and synthesized content. Results 19 papers were included, the content of which was synthesized and organized into two conceptual categories: 1) Recommendations concerning childbirth with three subcategories - Indications to anticipate delivery, Route of delivery, and Preparation of the staff and birth room, and 2) Recommendations concerning postpartum care with four categories - Breastfeeding, NB care, Hospital discharge, and Care provided to NB at home. Conclusion prevent the transmission of the virus in the pregnancy-postpartum cycle, assess whether there is a need to interrupt pregnancies, decrease the circulation of people, avoid skin-to-skin contact and water births, prefer epidural over general anesthesia, keep mothers who tested positive or are symptomatic isolated from NB, and encourage breastfeeding. Future studies are needed to address directed pushing, instrumental delivery, delayed umbilical cord clamping, and bathing NB immediately after birth.

Objective to map the production of knowledge regarding recommendations for providing care to pregnant women dealing with the novel coronavirus. Method scoping review, using a broadened strategy to search databases and repositories, as well as the reference lists in the sources used. Data were collected and analyzed by two independent reviewers. Data were analyzed and synthesized in the form of a narrative. Results the final sample was composed of 24 records, the content of which was synthesized in these conceptual categories: clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, working pregnant women, vaccine development, complications, prenatal care, vertical transmission, and placental transmissibility. It is recommended to confirm pregnancy and disease early on, to use technological resources for screening and providing guidance and support to pregnant women. Conclusion recommendations emphasize isolation, proper rest, sleep, nutrition, hydration, medications, and in the more severe cases, oxygen support, monitoring of vital signs, emotional support, and multiprofessional and individualized care. Medications should be used with caution due to a lack of evidence. Future research is needed to analyze the impact of the infection at the beginning of pregnancy and the psychological aspects of pregnant women infected with the virus.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyse the perineal outcomes in childbirth and post-partum perineal care in a freestanding birth centre. Method: a cross-sectional study, with data collection performed in the women's birth records forms from Casa Angela, a freestanding birth centre, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2016-2017 (n=415). The following data was analysed: occurrence and perineal tear degree; maternal, neonatal and birth care-related variables; perineal suture prevalence; complications in wound healing and natural methods on perineal care. Data were subjected to descriptive, inferential and multiple analyses. Results: in 11.8% of women, the perineum was kept intact, 61.9% had spontaneous first-degree tear and 26.3% had second-degree tear. The variables related to the occurrence and higher spontaneous degree tears were maternal age and second period of childbirth >2 hours. The protective factors against the occurrence and higher degree tears were number of previous vaginal childbirths and maternal position different from vertical during childbirth. Perineal suture was performed in 16.0% and 70.6% of women with spontaneous first- and second-degree tears, respectively. The main perineal complications after birth were edema (53.6%) and pain (29.4%); and the perineal suture increased the chance for these complications (OR=2.5; 95%CI 1.5-4.3). Perineum icepack compress was used in 53.8% of women during post-partum period. Conclusion: maternal and health-care related factors were associated to the prevalence and degree of spontaneous perineal tear. First-degree spontaneous perineal tears were prevalent and sutured in a low number of women. There were more complications in the wound healing process when the perineal suture was performed, regardless the tear degree. The number of natural methods in post-partum perineal care was higher than the use of medicines.
RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar los resultados perineales en el parto y el cuidado perineal post-parto en un Centro de Parto peri-hospitalario. Método: estudio transversal con recolección de datos en los registros de parto de las mujeres que dieron a luz en el Centro de Parto Casa Angela, que atiende al parto peri-hospitalario, en São Paulo, Brasil, en 2016-2017 (n=415). Se analizaron: ocurrencia y grado de los desgarros perineales y variables maternas, neonatales y asistenciales relacionadas; prevalencia de reparación perineal; complicaciones en la cicatrización; métodos naturales del cuidado perineal. Los datos se analizaron por estadística descriptiva e inferencial, con análisis bivariado y múltiple. Resultados: el perineo se mantuvo intacto en el 11,8% de las mujeres, el 61,9% tuvieron desgarros de primer grado, y el 26,3% de segundo grado. Las variables relacionadas con la ocurrencia y el mayor grado de los desgarros fueron la edad de la madre y el período expulsivo del parto >2 horas. Los factores protectores contra la ocurrencia y el mayor grado de los desgarros fueron el número de partos vaginales anteriores y la posición materna diferente de la vertical durante el parto. La reparación perineal se realizó en el 16% y el 70,6% de las mujeres con desgarros de primer y segundo grado, respectivamente. Las complicaciones perineales predominantes fueron edema (53,6%) y dolor (29,4%) y la reparación aumentó la probabilidad de estas complicaciones (OR=2,5; 95%IC 1,5-4,3). La compresa de hielo en el perineo se utilizó en el 53,8% de las mujeres en el período post-parto. Conclusión: los factores maternos y asistenciales se asociaron con la prevalencia y el grado del desgarro perineal. Hubo predominio de desgarros de primer grado, reparados en un pequeño número de mujeres. Cuando se realizó la reparación perineal, hubo más complicaciones en el proceso de cicatrización, independientemente del grado del desgarro. La cantidad de métodos naturales en el cuidado perineal después del parto fue superior al uso de medicamentos.
RESUMO Objetivo: analisar os desfechos perineais no parto e o cuidado perineal pós-parto em um Centro de Parto peri-hospitalar. Método: estudo transversal, com coleta de dados nos prontuários das mulheres que deram à luz no Centro de Parto peri-hospitalar Casa Angela, em São Paulo, Brasil, em 2016-2017 (n=415). Foram analisados: ocorrência e grau da laceração perineal e variáveis maternas, neonatais e assistenciais relacionadas; prevalência de reparo perineal; complicações na cicatrização e métodos naturais de cuidado perineal. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial, com análise bivariada e múltipla. Resultados: o períneo manteve-se íntegro em 11,8% das mulheres, 61,9% tiveram lacerações de primeiro grau e 26,3% de segundo grau. As variáveis relacionadas à ocorrência e maior grau das lacerações foram idade materna e período expulsivo do parto >2 horas. Os fatores protetores contra a ocorrência e o maior grau das lacerações foram número de partos vaginais anteriores e posição materna diferente da vertical durante o parto. O reparo perineal foi realizado em 16% e 70,6% das mulheres com lacerações de primeiro e segundo graus, respectivamente. As complicações perineais predominantes foram edema (53,6%) e dor (29,4%) e o reparo aumentou a chance dessas complicações (OR=2,5; 95%IC 1,5-4,3). A compressa de gelo no períneo foi usada em 53,8% das mulheres no pós-parto. Conclusão: fatores maternos e assistenciais associaram-se à prevalência e grau da laceração perineal. Houve predomínio das lacerações de primeiro grau, reparadas em um número reduzido de mulheres. Quando o reparo perineal foi realizado, houve mais complicações no processo de cicatrização, independentemente do grau da laceração. O número de métodos naturais no cuidado perineal após o parto foi superior ao uso de medicamentos.

OBJECTIVE: To describe obstetric practices in planned home births, assisted by qualified professionals in Brazil. METHOD: This is a descriptive study, with data collected in an online bank maintained by 49 professionals from December 2014 to November 2015, in which the target population was women and newborns assisted in home births. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. RESULTS: A total of 667 women and 665 newborns were included. Most of the women gave birth at home (84.4%), in a nonlithotomic position (99.1%); none underwent episiotomy; 32.3% had intact perineum; and 37.8% had first-degree lacerations, some underwent amniotomy (5.4%), oxytocin administration (0.4%), and Kristeller's maneuver (0.2%); 80.8% of the women with a previous cesarean section had home birth. The rate of transfer of parturients was 15.6%, of puerperal women was 1.9%, and of neonates 1.6%. The rate of cesarean section in the parturients that started labor at home was 9.0%. CONCLUSION: The obstetric practices taken are consistent with the scientific evidence; however, unnecessary interventions are still performed. The rates of cesarean sections and maternal and neonatal transfers are low. Home can be a place of birth option for women seeking a physiological delivery.

Introdução: A forma como a enfermeira obstétrica (EO) atua na assistência ao parto e como vivencia a\r\nautonomia profi ssional e o trabalho colaborativo dependem do local de atuação, das regras e normas\r\nda instituição, da divisão técnica do trabalho e da relação hierárquica estabelecida na equipe obstétrica.\r\nObjetivo: Descrever como a EO percebe sua inserção na equipe obstétrica e sua autonomia profi ssional\r\nna assistência à mulher no parto. Método: Adotou-se a abordagem qualitativa, entrevistando 15 EO\r\nde instituições de saúde privadas, em São Paulo, SP. Na análise de conteúdo, utilizaram-se os conceitos\r\nde autonomia e de trabalho colaborativo. Resultados: As EO apontaram a falta de reconhecimento de\r\nsuas atribuições pelos médicos como um dos fatores que mais limitam sua autonomia e o trabalho colaborativo. Elas destacam suas competências profi ssionais, mas mostram difi culdades para ocupar seu\r\nlugar na equipe obstétrica em instituições privadas. Considerações Finais: Apesar da política ofi cial e\r\ndas evidências científi cas favoráveis à participação da EO no parto, sua atuação é restrita e aquém das\r\ncompetências profi ssionais estabelecidas.
Introduction: The way how the nurse-midwife (NM) experiences the professional autonomy and the\r\ncollaborative work in childbirth care depends on the type of hospital, its rules and norms, on the technical division of labor and on the hierarchical relationships. Objective: To describe how the NM perceives\r\nher insertion in the obstetric team and her professional autonomy in childbirth. Method: It was adopted\r\na qualitative approach, interviewing 15 NM that work in private hospitals in São Paulo, SP. The content\r\nanalysis was conducted using the concepts of autonomy and collaborative work. Results: The NM pointed\r\nout that the lack of recognition by the obstetricians about their duties as one of the factors that most\r\nlimit their autonomy and the collaborative work. They recognize their skills, but have diffi culties to take\r\ntheir place in the obstetric team in private hospitals. Final Considerations: Despite the offi cial policy and \r\nthe scientific evidence in favor of the participation of the NM in childbirth, their performance is restrict\r\nand beneath the professional skills established.
Introducción: Como la enfermera obstétrica (EO) actúa en la atención al parto y como vive la autonomía\r\nprofesional y el trabajo colaborativo dependen del local de actuación, las normas y reglamentos de la\r\ninstitución, la división técnica del trabajo y la relación jerárquica establecida entre los miembros del\r\nequipo obstétrico.
