Method: A qualitative, post-structuralist research with 14 obstetric nurses. Data were obtained from in-depth interviews and submitted to discourse analysis, based on the concepts of Foucault. Results: The findings reveal that caring of obstetric nurses is produced in the encounter between their own body and the body of the women under their care.The nursing profession was presented not only as a means of work and support but as an essential device for the training of women as subjects. The collective narrative is marked by the attitude of compassion, by the processes of subjectivity incited by the professional practice, by indicators of critical and political care, and by the construction of an interlocking network among obstetrical nurses. Conclusions and implications for practice: Acting in obstetric nursing results in self-care and care(less) effects of other women. The study contributes to the analysis and knowledge of the life and work scenario of obstetrical nurses.It also reassures the potential of care as an art that is present in the women's practices.Objetivo: Analisar os discursos de enfermeiras obstétricas sobre o cuidado de si e as decisões sobre sua vida e seu corpo, bem como a relação com o cuidado destinado a outras mulheres. Metódo: Pesquisa qualitativa, de referencial pós-estruturalista.Dados obtidos de entrevistas em profundidade com 14 enfermeiras obstétricas e submetidos à analítica do discurso, tendo como base conceitual Foucault. Resultados: Os achados revelam que o cuidado para a enfermeira obstétrica é produzido no encontro entre o corpo de si e o corpo das mulheres sob cuidados. A profissão de enfermagem apresentou-se não apenas enquanto meio de trabalho e sustento, mas como importante dispositivo para formação das mulheres enquanto sujeitos. A narrativa coletiva é marcada pela atitude de compaixão, por processos de subjetivação incitados pela prática profissional, por indicativos de um cuidado crítico e político, e pela construção de uma rede de imbricamento entre as enfermeiras obstétricas. Conclusões e implicações para a prática:A atuação em enfermagem obstétrica resulta em efeitos produtores de cuidado de si e de (des)cuidado de outras mulheres. O estudo contribui para a análise e o conhecimento do cenário de vida e de trabalho das enfermeiras obstétricas e a reafirmação do potencial de cuidado presente nas práticas destas mulheres.Palavras-chave: Enfermagem obstétrica; Feminismo; Parto Humanizado; Saúde da Mulher.resumen Objetivo: Analizar los discursos de enfermeras obstétricas sobre su propio cuidado y las decisiones sobre su vida y cuerp...
Objectives: to know the professional trajectory of the black nurse Maria Barbosa Fernandes and to analyze elements of her professional practice based on the cultural competence model of CampinhaBacote. Methods: historical-social study with an analysis of the findings in light of the Cultural Competence model. Results: Maria Barbosa was the first black woman to earn a nursing degree at the Escola de Enfermagem Carlos Chagas (Carlos Chagas Nursing School) (1935-1938), and the documentation about her history allowed us to infer the experience of discrimination and invisibility. However, her professional trajectory was marked by careful attention to the singularities and the sociocultural reality of individuals, with an emphasis on acting in vulnerable scenarios. Final Considerations: the pairing of the theme of black women in nursing with the reference of Cultural Competence consists of an invitation to value diversity in the profession and seek to move towards care committed to overcoming inequalities, through inclusive practices and culturally sensitive care.
Objectives: to analyze the expression of sociopolitical-emancipatory knowledge, based on the participation of women-nurses in social movements, and the implications for nursing care. Methods: a research-interference, whose data were obtained from narrative interviews with six women-nurses inserted in social movements and with political representation. Data were submitted to discourse analysis, based on Michel Foucault. Results: women-nurses’ social and political involvement is driven by the contexts of life and work, marked by gender inequalities. Ability to criticize oneself, the profession and health policies and practices are presented as expressions of sociopolitical-emancipatory knowledge. Nursing care is conceived as a political practice that, influenced by learning from social movements, must go through a denial of the historically performed form. Final Considerations: participation in social movements triggers sociopolitical-emancipatory knowledge, resulting in differentiated care, a way of acting oriented towards reducing inequalities.
Resultados: estado da arte majoritariamente qualitativo com domínio de referenciais de uma perspectiva libertadora, pautada na humanização, autonomia e empoderamento como estratégia de redução de riscos na prática do cuidado à mulher. Os achados sugerem relações de poder solidifi cadas entre enfermeiras-mulheres, centradas no domínio profi ssional com forte concentração na formação da enfermeira sob o discurso patriarcal e de normalização da sociedade. Alguns estudos ponderam a importância da compreensão do poder na forma capilar, operando nos corpos dos indivíduos. Conclusão: há pouca discussão sobre o cuidado de si de enfermeiras e dos efeitos na sua prática profi ssional, indicando lacunas no conhecimento neste campo. Descritores: Saúde da Mulher; Poder; Enfermeiras e Enfermeiros; Mulheres; Autonomia Pessoal.

Resultados: estado del arte mayoritariamente cualitativo con dominio de referenciales desde una perspectiva libertadora, pautada en la humanización, autonomía y empoderamiento como estrategia de reducción de riesgos en la práctica del cuidado de la mujer.
