Violência obstétrica à luz de profissionais de enfermagem: um estudo na perspectiva da revisão integrativa.

Abstract

Violence can be considered a public health problem, of multiple dimensions and that increasingly needs in-depth studies and public policies that involve beyond the theme of violence, education, security, access to service and a culture that helps us to promote peace. Among the various forms of violence, we highlight in this work obstetric violence. Obstetric violence (VO) is a terminology used to describe and refer to all forms of violence that originate during assistance with the pregnancy-puerperal cycle or abortion. Amid the current scenario of women's health care, the importance of studies such as this one for the sensitization of health professionals regarding the view on the humanization of care stands out. Besides, expand studies that address the theme, stimulating the creation of policies and awareness programs focusing on obstetric violence. Objectives: The general objective of this research is: to analyze, from publications in scientific journals, knowledge about obstetric violence from the perspective of health professionals with emphasis on nursing. The specifics are: Verify the distribution of the reviewed studies in the databases. Point out relevant facts about obstetric violence, practiced by professionals in health services against women during their pregnancy; highlight synthetic characteristics of the studies, expressed in the objectives, methodologies, results and, conclusions; identify the approach of the professional nurse in the care of parturient women; highlight the ethical-legal issues that underlie the professional's role in the face of obstetric violence. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review study that aimed to compile pre-existing knowledge on the subject of the study. Descriptive study of national literature, specifically in health journals, on the proposed theme, from the indexing of the journal in the Scielo - Scientific Electronic Library Online. The appropriate descriptors were searched in the VHL (Virtual Health Library), and the following terms were found in the VHL Health Sciences Descriptors (DECS): 1. Health Professionals 2. Violence; and 3. Obstetrics; Conclusion: It is concluded that health professionals, overcrowding, lack of materials and work overload sometimes become negative factors for humanized and more qualified care, thus leading to a professional overload increasing the cases of violence practices. Against parturients, there is also the lack of incentive and interaction of management with professionals and users, to charge the service to meet goals.
