Abstract
CARVALHO, Isaiane da Silva and BRITO, Rosineide Santana. Obstetric practices developed in two maternities for low risk mothers. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.54, pp.210-249. Epub Oct 14, 2019. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.18.2.317281.
Objective:
Evaluate the quality of care provided to women and children during cases of natural childbirth in municipal public maternity wards of the city of Natal/RN, Brazilian Northeast.
Method
A cross-sectional study, quantitative in two public hospitals with 314 puerperal women attending the period between April and July 2014.
Results:
The differences between the maternity wards were identified with regard to the provision of liquids orally (p=0.018), stimulus for non-supine position (p=0.002), existence of partograph (p=0.001), support or welcoming by health professionals (p=0.047) intravenous infusion (p<0.001), supine position (p<0.001), use of oxytocin (p<0.001), food and liquid restriction (p=0.002), and the fact that the touch is performed by more than one examiner (p=0.011). Assistance during the process of labor and birth showed better results in general for motherhood A.
