“…In a study on prenatal care, satisfaction with the nursing consultation was evident in 84.3% of the participants, pointing out that most of the pregnant women rated the care received by the nurse during prenatal consultations as good. 20 According to verbal information from a BHU employee, during the participant observation, the pregnant women say that they do not like nurses who attend very fast and do not examine them, and this is confirmed when they resort to the appointment making sector, requesting a new appointment with another nurse, and scheduling a previous appointment. The pregnant women inform when scheduling the preventive examination, the name of the nurse with whom they wish to consult.…”

Complaints were made on the nurses’ technical competence, specifically regarding counseling on urinary tract infection. Some facilities were highlighted after the implementation of the Estratégia Rede Cegonha, mainly in the scheduling of appointments. The following difficulties were mentioned: lack of some prescribed drugs and long terms for carrying out and receiving preventive examinations. Conclusion: the pregnant women assessed the nursing consultation as very good, but they tend to attribute the logistic difficulties at the Health Center (lack of inputs) and even the forwarding to the medical professional (prescription of drugs to obtain outside the Health Center) to the nurses. Based on the research, relevant points could be identified that can influence positive criticism against the nursing consultation, as it constitutes more than half of clinical prenatal care in Brazil and can also change the conditions sensitive to hospitalization in primary care.

“…It is important to highlight that the participation of nonphysicians in prenatal care has brought significant advances to its quality. From this perspective, studies (15)(16)(17) point out that without the nurses the care would probably be restricted to individual consultations based on complaints and conducts, simple obstetric examinations and ordering and interpreting tests, a biomedical model where women can That is why there should be true articulation between the Program of Humane Care and Childbirth and the Family Healthcare Program, once this program should secure a more comprehensive and integrated care (14) . Therefore, it is not quite understandable within a context that involves mostly the Family Healthcare Program, as approached in this study, that nurses feel or behave as assistants when they actually help providing better care, particularly by promoting safety and supporting women during pregnancy and after childbirth.…”

“…However, as already pointed out, nurses' activities exceed biomedical assistance; their main activity should focus on setting a supporting and understanding relationship enabling discussions on fundamental aspects of women's health (15)(16)(17) , i.e., building a relationship of trust aimed at providing the necessary health education during pregnancy and after childbirth. The quality of care is closely related to these aspects, despite being less appreciated by the population because they are not aware of them and by many nurses because they associate professional qualification to autonomy to prescribe drugs and order tests, for example.…”

“…It is also necessary to discuss the matter of professional qualification considering the reports of lack of preparation or knowledge to provide assistance, which demands specific midwifery skills and knowledge, an unusual area of specialization in the qualification of non-physicians in this study. Within such a context, by taking into account the comments and descriptions made by the subjects in the questionnaire, their continuous education is deemed important, particularly for those who assess this need because they are not familiar with the specificities of midwifery care, not always properly contemplated in nursing graduation courses (17) .…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the exercise of competences in prenatal care performed by nurses in the East Zone of the city of São Paulo through the identification of the activities performed by them and their frequency as well as possible difficulties found. This quantitative, descriptive-exploratory study was carried out in 59 health centers, from October 2006 to December 2007, with a sample of 131 nurses. The results showed that nurses did not perform essential competences necessary to obtain a qualified prenatal care due to personal and institutional barriers found in their job. It was concluded that there is a need to review the policies of public health structures in São Paulo to guarantee the implementation of the Unique Health System guidelines regarding the improvement of prenatal care and to provide human and financial resources to reach this purpose.

“…Another perspective on this issue is related to recent studies on humanized birth published in indexed nursing journals, in which one observes the great quantity of studies addressing issues, conceptions and difficulties faced by obstetrical nurses and midwives, who promote the humanization of care delivered to women and their families, from prenatal care to post delivery (4)(5)(6)(7) , and also studies largely addressing recent trends to incorporate this paradigm of labor and delivery care (8) . However, there is an important gap in the perspectives of the users of these health services concerning this paradigm.…”

Through the theoretical-methodological support of the Liberation Pedagogy, this convergentcare study identified the expectations of pregnant women and their respective partners concerning their participation in humanized birth. Five categories emerged during an educational intervention carried out with groups: choosing the type of delivery; selecting the type of obstetrical care; acknowledging oneself as a critical subject of one's own reality; negotiating with the health team; and acquiring knowledge concerning the delivery process.The study reveals that even though power relations permeate the interactions experienced within healthcare facilities, liberating educational practices can strengthen individuals so they are able to overcome the status quo and transform their obstetrical situation. Descriptors Las expectativas de participación de mujeres embarazadas y sus acompañantes para realizar un parto humanizadoSe trata de un estudio convergente-asistencial que tuvo como objetivo identificar las expectativas de participación de gestantes y acompañantes para realizar un parto humanizado, utilizando el marco teórico metodológico de la Pedagogía Libertadora. De la práctica educativa, con grupos, emergieron informaciones que culminaron en cinco categorías: la elección del tipo de parto, la selección del tipo de atención obstétrica, el reconocimiento de sí misma como sujeto crítico frente la realidad, la negociación con los profesionales de la salud, y la construcción de un saber propio acerca del parto.El estudio permite comprender que, a pesar de que las interacciones experimentadas dentro de las instituciones de salud están compenetradas por relaciones de poder, las prácticas educativas libertadoras pueden contribuir para el fortalecimiento de los sujetos para superar ese status quo y para transformar la realidad obstétrica.
