Resumen
LUQUE FERNANDEZ, Miguel Angel y OLIVER RECHE, María Isabel. Culture differences on perceiving and living delivery: the case of inmigrant women. Index Enferm [online]. 2005, vol.14, n.48-49, pp.9-13. ISSN 1699-5988.
Target: To wathc behavioural patterns of cultural origin during delivery in inmigrant women which could haverd health assistance. Material and methods: Qualitative investigation based upon participating observation and twenty semi-structured interviews to inmigrant women. Results: Cultural sensitivities regarding sense of prudeness and the preference for female obstetric assistance have been found, also in perception of attitude towards labour pain, in company preferences during labour, in their experience and perception (position during third stage, acceptance of medicalised labour, etc.), as well as in patterns of inmediate interaction with the newborn. Conclusions: The differences found, which can not be generalised towards the whole of women from the same geographical origin, occasionally are misunderstood by the health profesionals, and may help us understand that our model of performance is not the only one, or the best, or the most "natural", allowing to establish a health assistance sensitive to every woman´s needs.
