A violência obstétrica retratada em periódicos científicos da área da saúde

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze articles published in scientific journals in order to identify the recurrence of the topic of obstetric violence. Method: This is an integrative literature review. Based on the conceptualization described by Silva and Menezes (2001), the literature review is the result of the process of surveying and analyzing data that has already been published on the chosen topic and research problem. The search will be carried out in electronic databases: Periodical Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Level Personnel (Capes), published between the years 2014 and 2023. Results: The categories created from 8 articles analyzed allowed us to identify a diversity of aspects from which obstetric violence has been approached by researchers. Categories were created using the webQDA software, namely: The concept of obstetric violence, the types of obstetric violence and the consequences of obstetric violence: social, emotional and physical. Conclusion: It is up to nursing professionals to train the multidisciplinary team to care for and respect pregnant women in a humanized way. The investigation into obstetric violence outlined an alarming scenario of practices that go beyond medical issues. A systemic change is proposed, covering everything from professional training to public awareness.
