Parto e nascimento no ambulatório e na Casa de Partos da Associação Comunitária Monte Azul: uma abordagem antropológica / Childbirth at the Monte Azul Clinic and Birth Center of the Monte Azul Community Association: an anthropological approach

Hotimsky, Sonia Nussenzweig 29 June 2001 (has links)
Este estudo de caso buscou caracterizar a clientela de camadas populares e médias de um serviço de saúde \"alternativo\", com uma proposta de parto ambulatorial realizado fora do hospital, assistido por obstetrizes. Seu objetivo principal foi o de compreender a forma como ambas as clientelas conheceram e passaram a freqüentar esse serviço e os motivos que as levaram a fazerem essa opção, buscando reconhecer semelhanças e diferenças entre elas. O serviço em estudo foi o ambulatório e a Casa de Parto da Associação Comunitária Monte Azul - ACOMA, associação antroposófica que tinha, por objetivo, prestar serviços de saúde, prioritariamente, a moradores de duas favelas e do bairro em que se situa. A análise parte de uma abordagem antropológica, na qual a parturição é vista como uma arena, em que concepções e práticas conflitantes e competitivas se confrontam e se articulam. Foram utilizados métodos e técnicas qualitativos e quantitativos. A realização de entrevistas semi-abertas, visando a apreender as narrativas dos sujeitos acerca de suas vivências de gestação e parto, ao lado da observação participante de consultas de pré-natal e parto foram os principais instrumentos da análise qualitativa empreendida. Foi usada metodologia quantitativa para caracterizar o cenário da investigação, em que se procurou traçar o perfil sócio-epidemiológico de 564 mulheres atendidas nesse serviço, no período entre abril de 1995 e março de 1998, e de seus recém- nascidos, a partir das Declarações de Nascidos Vivos. Os resultados do levantamento sócioepidemiológico indicam que a maioria de sua clientela (77,2%) reside fora da área de abrangência prioritária da ACOMA. Por outro lado, a grande maioria dessas mulheres (93,5%) pertence aos estratos mais pobres da população do Município de São Paulo. As maneiras pelas quais a clientela soube da existência desse serviço e padrões de freqüência ao pré-natal são descritas e analisadas, quantitativa e qualitativamente, apontando para continuidades e descontinuidades entre a clientela \"particular\" e de \"usuárias\". Destaca-se que, para muitas \"usuárias\", a ACOMA era o serviço de prénatal mais freqüentado na gestação, e 44,2% dessas, deram à luz no mesmo serviço. A tendência predominante entre as \"clientes particulares\", por outro lado, era a de realizarem o pré-natal, simultaneamente, nesse e em outro serviço, pois procuravam a ACOMA, com a intenção de evitarem um parto hospitalar e de conferirem a proposta de parto do mesmo. As razões apresentadas e que levaram à escolha desse serviço para realizarem o parto foram múltiplas e complexas e acompanhadas de constrangimentos de ordem sócio-econômica e cultural. Entre elas, destacaram-se, o relacionamento com profissionais de saúde, a percepção de riscos em relação ao parto e a possibilidade de contar com acompanhantes de sua escolha, no momento do parto. Entre as \"usuárias\", o maior temor em relação ao parto hospitalar era o de não ter acesso a um leito, na hora necessária, e, entre as \"clientes particulares\", temia-se a cesárea desnecessária. Questões que se colocaram e que merecem ser aprofundadas referem-se a certas noções e valores em relação à sexualidade e à maternidade e sua associação com noções de \"modernidade\" em relação à família e ao parto, bem como sobre o processo de constituição da autoridade cultural e social de profissionais de saúde. / This study describes some of the characteristics of lower and middle class clients of an \"alternative\" health care center in which midwives were assigned to maternity care in an out clinic. It\'s primary objective was to understand how clients became familiar with the proposal; the patterns of attendance; why they chose this form of maternity care in a context where hospital birth is predominant, and whether there were significant differences in these patterns according to social class. This study was conducted at the Monte Azul Clinic and Birth Center, administrated by the Monte Azul Community Association (ACOMA). The latter is an anthroposophical association, whose basic objective is to attend to demands of the inhabitants of two shanty towns and the surrounding neighborhood. An anthropological approach in which birth is viewed as an arena where conflicting and competitve concepts and pratices are articulated and confront themselves is adopted in analysis. Qualitative and quantitative methods and techniques were employed. Interviews focused on the experiences with respect to pregnancy and birthing among the subjects of this study. Participant observation of pre-natal consultations and of childbirths were also conducted. In order to characterize the context of the field of research, quantitative methodology was employed. A social and epidemiological profile was constructed of the 564 women (as well as their newborns) who gave birth between April 1995 and March 1998, receiving maternity care from midwives working at the Clinic and Birth Center during this period. For this purpose data was collected from the Declaração de Nascidos Vivos - Live Birth Form, a document from the Ministry of Health, filled out at birth by the birth attendant which records data concerning live births. Results indicate that the majority of it\'s clients (77,2%) did not live within the association\'s \"target\" community. On the other hand, data indicates that the majority of women attended (93,5%) belonged to the poorest segments of the population of Sao Paulo City. How clients were informed about the existence of this Clinic and Birth Center as well as patterns of attendance are described and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. Continuities and discontinuities with respect to these patterns among the Clinic\'s clients and the midwives\' private clients are described and analyzed. Many of the Clinic\'s clients, recurred to this service predominantly for their prenatal checkups and 44,2% of these women recurred to the midwives\' assistance for maternity care. Among the midwives\' private patients, on the other hand, the predominant tendency was to do prenatal checkups simultaneously at the clinic and at other clinics where they were attended by obstetricians. The latter wanted to avoid hospital maternity care and attended prenatal checkups so as to confer and perhaps adhere to the midwives\' proposal of maternity care. Reasons presented with respect to choice of care in childbirth are multiple and complex, involving social, economic and cultural constraints. Among the reasons referred to in the interviews, the most recurrent were the quality of the relationship established with the health professionals; perception of risks with respect to childbirth; and the possibility of having support persons of their choice present during labour and childbirth. Among the clinic\'s clients, the fear of not gaining access to a hospital bed in due time was their major concern with respect to hospital maternity care. Among the midwives\' private patients, the fear of being submitted to a unnecessary cesarean section was a major concern with respect to hospital maternity care. Themes which emerged in this study and require further research include notions of \'modernity\' and their association to concepts and values concerning sexuality and maternity as well as questions related to the construction of cultural and social authority.

Measuring Patient Experience in Hospital Maternity Care

Wahl Grendi, Heidi January 2020 (has links)
This thesis concerns Patient Experience (PX), in hospital maternity care in Sweden. The focus lies in the development of a measure to describe the current state of PX. The thesis uses a semi-sequential mixed-methods study design; exploration of the patient journey, through qualitative methods, informs the adaptation of an existing maternity care experience survey instrument. The resulting survey instrument is tried in a pilot study and renders a composite measure of PX. Part of the analysis is dedicated to understanding the e!ect of information and communication in PX; Exploratory Factor Analysis is used to test the model and attempt an answer. The results show that it is possible to describe PX using the proposed survey instrument. The composite measure preserves di!erences in perceptions better than an arithmetic average of two discrete VAS-1 type measurements, and is more appropriate when measuring attitudes, and opinions using Likert-type measures. A three component solution describes 65.44% of the total sample variance. Determining to what degree PX is influenced by information and communication remains di"cult to quantify, but these initial results indicate that the manner of the attending sta! during aftercare and the respondent’s mastery of information during discharge are important dimensions of patients’ total PX (ANOVA R .695, R Square .483). The model’s three components are almost entirely built from items that address interpersonal skills and information assimilation. These correspond to two of the three Service Quality Dimensions, namely Interaction Quality and Outcome Quality. Most important of the three is the component “Chemistry in aftercare”. The predictive strength of the model shows merit under the context of the study and could advise further e!orts to develop measurements for PX in maternity care in a Swedish hospital setting. Lastly, this study contextualises Service Design in hospital maternity healthcare; the study therefore o!ers ample opportunity for innovation. / Arbetet handlar om Patientupplevelse (PU), i förlossningsvården i Sverige. Fokus ligger på utvecklingen av ett mätvärde att beskriva den nuvarande patientupplevelsen. Arbetet använder kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder (mixed-methods), i en semi-sekventiell design; utforskning av patientresan ligger till grund för anpassningen av ett existerande mätinstrument. Det nya mätinstrumentet testas i en pilotstudie och ger ett kompositmätvärde av PU. En del av analysen ägnas åt att förstå vilken e!ekt information och kommunikation har på PU; Explorativ faktoranalys används för ändamålet. Resultaten visar att det är möjligt att beskriva PU genom det föreslagna mätinstrumentet. Det resulterande kompositvärdet är bättre på att beskriva skillnader i uppfattning än ett medelvärde av två diskreta variabler av VAS-1 typen, och är också lämpligare när attityder och åsikter mäts med hjälp av Likert-skalor. En trekomponentslösning beskriver 65.44% av den totala stickprovsvariansen. Att avgöra hur mycket PU påverkas av information och kommunikation förblir svårt att kvantifiera, men dessa inledande resultat visar att patientbemötande under eftervårdstiden och patientens förmåga att bemästra information under utskrivningen är viktiga dimensioner av patienters totala PU (ANOVA R .695, R Square .483). Modellens tre komponenter är nästan uteslutande uppbyggda av variabler som fångar upp personliga relationer och assimilering av information. Dessa motsvarar två av de tre dimensionerna i Servicekvalitetsmodellen, nämligen Interaktionskvalitet och Utfallskvalitet. Viktigaste komponenten är Personlig kemi under eftervården. Modellens förutsägningsstyrka visar förtjänst under studiens kontext och kunde informera framtida ansträngningar att utveckla mätvärden för förlossningsvården inom svensk sjukhusmiljö. Till sist kan nämnas att studien kontextualiserar Service Design inom förlossningsvården; studien erbjuder därför omfattande möjligheter för innovation.
