Objective: To identify the factors that influence the improvement of obstetric nurse care in the delivery process. Methods: Descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach conducted at a teaching maternity hospital located in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil with 20 obstetric nurses from the Obstetric Center. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews between June and September 2017 and was then subjected to the Thematic-Categorical Content Analysis proposed by Franco. Results: Six categories emerged from the analysis, which presented factors that favor the improvement of obstetric care in the delivery process and factors unfavorable to this care. These factors address power and gender relations among health professionals; recognition of obstetric nurses; physical space and bed occupation; interaction between woman/ companion, among others. Final considerations: The factors indicated by obstetric nurses reveal the need for improvements in the working conditions by managers and changes of behavior and codes of conduct of health professionals.
Objective: Checking the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with the prevalence of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in a maternity school. Materials and methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study in a maternity hospital in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In data collection, we used a standardized form that contained sociodemographic and clinical data from the medical records of 83 women for the period of 2018. Stata version 14 software was used in the analyses. Bivariate analysis was conducted using Pearson’s or Fisher’s exact tests. Poisson regression was performed with robust variation in multivariate analysis. Prevalence ratios (PR) and respective 95 % confidence intervals were estimated. The significance level of the tests was 5 %. Results: The prevalence of PPH was 38.6 % and 25.6 % for atony as the cause. In the bivariate analysis, there was an association between PPH and non-breastfeeding in the first hour of life (p = 0.039). In the multivariate analysis, it was identified that multiparous women had an increase in the prevalence of PPH by almost twice (PR = 1.97). Not breastfeeding in the first hour of life increased this prevalence more than four times (PR = 4.16). Conclusions: Monitoring multiparous women during birth care and encouraging breastfeeding in the first hour of life may decrease the prevalence of PPH.
<p><strong></strong>Objetivo: descrever as enunciações avaliativas de acompanhantes sobre o cuidado prestado às mulheres em processo de parto. Método: pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa realizada com dez acompanhantes em uma maternidade escola. Utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada como técnica de coleta de dados. Para o tratamento das falas, empregou-se a Análise de Conteúdo Temática Categorial. Resultados: o conteúdo obtido foi sistematizado em duas categorias: enunciações avaliativas relacionadas aos serviços de saúde e enunciações avaliativas relacionadas ao cuidado prestado às mulheres em processo de parto. Considerações Finais: as(os) acompanhantes enunciaram e vivenciaram o cuidado prestado muitas vezes como limitado e associado à sobrecarga de trabalho dos profissionais, entretanto reforçaram o acolhimento e a comunicação como importantes.</p><p>Descritores: Acompanhantes Formais em Exames Físicos.
