The daily life of pregnant women: nursing promoting being healthy

Abstract

This is a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive study, grounded on the everyday life and interpretative sociology. The aim of the study was to understand the everyday life of pregnant women and their families, based on prenatal care. The study was conducted in a health center in southern Brazil, and it involved ten pregnant women. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews, using the intrafamilial genogram and ecomap, between March and May of 2011. Data analysis involved: preliminary analysis, ordering, key links, coding and categorization. The results show that the everyday life of pregnant women involves biological changes and emotional experiences that generate a need for changing their pace of life, whose implementation depends on social changes, requiring a support network that may contribute to promote health during pregnancy.

Exploring the Landscape of Eco-Mapping in Health Services Research: A Comprehensive Review

“…Most studies reported a qualitative study design (n � 58) [17,18,21,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] and , followed by mixed methods (n � 9) [95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103] and quantitative designs (n � 3) [22,104,105]. Data collection methods consisted of semistructured interviews alone (n � 36) [17, 41-44, 46, 48, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 61-65, 67, 69, 70, 72, 76, 78-81, 83-85, 88, 89, 92, 93, 104] or interviews combined with focus groups [77,98], surveys [22,95,96,[99][100][101][102][103], participant observations [49,51,…”

“…Te majority (n � 31) of the studies reported collecting data in the community (i.e., homes of the participants, private ofces, or workplaces) [41-45, 49, 51, 54, 56, 57, 61, 67, 70-73, 75, 76, 78, 82, 84, 86, 90, 92-95, 97, 102, 103, 105], or an outpatient clinic (n � 6) [46,48,64,65,98] or inpatient unit (n � 5) [47,52,62,91,100] was cited. Less often reported was a community health center (n � 2) [60,104], residential care (n � 2) [18,55], hospice (n � 1) [22], school (n � 1) [101], and a virtual platform (n � 1) [88]. Eight studies reported collecting data in a combination of settings [50,58,66,68,74,79,83,96].…”

Atividades desenvolvidas pelos comitês de prevenção do óbito infantil e fetal: revisão integrativa

“…Due to the significant differences in the profiles of the regional populations, and considering the maternal circumstances of infant death, it is necessary to understand the distribution of social risk factors, the regional variation of these factors and the profile of perinatal morbidity and mortality closely related to the quality of care. Thus, mortality monitoring makes it possible to assess health care quality (44)(45). A study conducted in Brazil (4 6) revealed the importance of regional analysis for the organization of services and the establishment of care networks targeted to mothers and newborns.…”
