Foi realizado um estudo exploratório em um Hospital Escola, localizado no interior de Minas Gerais, com a fmalidade de compreender o significado da episiotomia para as mulheres que foram submetidas à intervenção durante o parto vaginal, identificar se elas percebem a episiotomia como urna intervenção inerente ao parto vaginal e, verificar se elas recebem alguma orientação em relação ao procedimento durante o processo de parturição. Os dados foram colhidos através do diário de campo, da observação participante e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas a puérperas que foram submetidas ao procedimento. Como instrumento de auxílio para as entrevistas foi utilizado um gravador, as informações assim obtidas foram transcritas fielmente.A análise de conteúdo temático foi a estratégia escolhida para analisar os dados obtidos que foram fundamentadas nos referenciais teóricos de gênero e poder. A partir da análise das informações emergiram três núcleos de sentido: A - Episiotomia: intervenção necessária e benéfica; B - Dor da episiotomia: um sofrimento necessário? CRelações de poder. Concluímos que apesar da episiotomia ser considerada uma intervenção dolorosa pela população estudada, ela é aceita como inerente ao parto vaginal. As parturientes durante seu período de internação foram pouco informadas sobre a intervenção, assim como não foi solicitado seu consentimento para a realização do procedimento. Essa informação serve de alerta para a maioria das instituições de saúde que prestam assistência ao parto e nascimento para que as mulheres tenham garantido seus direitos à informação e autonomia em seu próprio processo de parturição, tornando-a protagonista da fisiologia do nascimento / Abstract: The carried through episiotomy has centuries consists in general in the more common surgical procedure in moderri obstetrics and one ofmost common in the medicine, despite the absence of scientific evidences that prove its real benefits. A study in a Hospital School, located in the interior of Minas Gerais was carried through, with the purpose to understand the meaning of the episiotomy for the women who had been submitted to the intervention during the vaginal childbirth, to identify if they perceive the episiotomy as an inherent intervention to vaginal childbirth e, to verify if they receive some orientation in relation to the procedure during the process ITomchildbirth. The data OOdbeen harvested through the daily one of field, the participant comment and half-structuralized interviews women tOOtthey had been submitted to the procedure. As instrument of aid for the interviews a recorder was used, the thus gotten information OOdbeen transcribing faithful. The analysis ofthematic content was the chosen strategy to analyze the gotten data that OOd been based on the theoretical reference of sort and power. From the analysis of the information three nuclei of sensible OOdemerged: A - Episiotomy: necessary and beneficial intervention; B - Pain ofthe episiotomy: a necessary suffering? C -Relations ofbeing able. We conclude tOOtdespite the episiotomy being considered a painful intervention for the studied population, it is accepted as inherent to the vaginal childbirth. The women in labor during its period of intemment little OOdbeen informed on the intervention, as well as were not requested its assent for the accomplishment ofthe procedure. This information serves of alert for the majority of the health institutions tOOtgive to assistance to the childbirth and birth so that the women have guaranteed its rights to the information and autonomy in its proper process ofbirth, becoming it protagonist ofthe physiology ofthe birth.

Factors associated with cesarean delivery in Latin America and the Caribbean: narrowing the evidence gap

Colaci, Daniela Soledad January 2021 (has links)
Cesarean delivery has notably increased around the world during the last three decades. Globally, the proportion of birth by cesarean delivery is higher in countries with higher levels of socioeconomic development, higher female enrollment in secondary education, higher levels of urbanization, greater density of physicians, and lower fertility. Additionally, cesarean rates are consistently higher in private than public health facilities in all regions of the world. Latin America and the Caribbean is the region with the highest cesarean rates globally and Dominican Republic is the country with one of the highest rates of cesareans worldwide. This research focuses on factors associated with cesarean delivery in Latin America and the Caribbean with an emphasis on Dominican Republic and is presented in three interconnected papers. The first paper, entitled “Determinants of cesarean delivery in Latin America and the Caribbean: a scoping review” identified factors associated with the escalating rates of cesareans in the region by mapping the literature on social determinants, women’s preferences, and healthcare providers’ attitudes and beliefs towards cesarean delivery. Thirty studies conducted between 2009 and 2019 met the inclusion criteria for the scoping review. Cesarean delivery was positively associated with older maternal age, higher maternal education, higher household income or wealth, urban residency, and delivering at a private health facility. Other factors such as ethnicity and marital status were less consistently assessed in the studies. Many studies evaluated social determinants of cesarean as covariates in multivariate analysis but did not evaluate them as the primary association, hence the impact of those determinants in cesarean delivery remains understudied. Women’s beliefs and providers’ attitudes were found to influence cesarean rates; however, detailed evidence on individual incentives is still limited. The second paper entitle “Relationship between mode of delivery and type of health facility in Dominican Republic: an analysis of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey” is a secondary data analysis of a population-based survey that evaluates differences in the determinants of cesarean delivery in public and private healthcare facilities. Among a sample of 4,398 women who delivered at a healthcare facility, cesarean rates were 48.1% and 86.5% in public and private hospitals respectively. In public hospitals, cesareans were associated with older maternal age, higher education, higher quintile of wealth, and Catholic religion. After adjusting for confounders, no associations were found between sociodemographic factors or maternal health characteristics and cesarean delivery in private hospitals. This study underscores the need to study other drivers of cesareans, particularly in private hospitals. The third paper entitle “Factors associated with cesarean delivery across maternal age groups in Dominica Republic” examines the differences in factors associated with cesarean delivery in adolescents, younger, and older women. Cesarean rates were 52.6%, 59.6%, and 71.0% in women aged <20, 20-34 or 35-39 years old respectively. Overall, there were no differences in the odds of cesarean delivery between adolescents and women aged 20-34. Women aged 35 or older were more likely to have a cesarean delivery than women aged 20-34. In women 20-34 years old, education, Catholic religion, and wealth were associated with cesareans. In women >=35 years, education and wealth were associated with cesarean delivery. Delivering at a private hospital increased the odds of cesarean delivery across the three age groups. The objective of this dissertation is to contribute to the literature with evidence to inform programs, policies, and practice and to highlight opportunities for further research on determinants of cesarean delivery in Latin American and the Caribbean, and particularly in Dominican Republic.

Factors contributing to a delay in reporting for labour by pregnant women at a regional hospital, Mopani District

Hlungwani, Maria Glagys 12 1900 (has links)
The study was aimed at exploring and describing factors that influence the delay in reporting for labour by women in Mopani District and to evaluate the impact of the delay in the process and outcome of labour and to develop recommendations to address the contributory factors. The study was conducted at a regional hospital in the Mopani District. A qualitative descriptive research design was used for the participants to describe the factors that delays pregnant woman in reporting for labour in the regional hospital. A non-probability sampling design was used in the study. Data were collected through unstructured one-on-one interview. Thirteen (n=13) pregnant women who delayed reporting for labour in the regional hospital at Mopani District participated in the interviews. Data were collected and analysed through the use of content analysis approach. Seven themes developed from the findings leading to the establishment of the following recommendations including the use of theory as support system, making the availability of resources a priority, increasing capacity of all clinics to offer skilled birth, expansion of Mom-Connect into rural areas, establishment of MWHs in the rural areas, and increasing transportation such as ambulances. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing science)

Based on a literature review, I did a deepening in some aspects such as childbirth and breastfeeding, idealization and romanticism and also on the question of guilt. Motherhood as a psychic operation, also implies an option that, in the contemporaneity, suffers social pressure and charges through a pre-established ideal of mother. This makes many women to initiate this process with anticipated guilt. Illustrating this question, I used the free-speech of five celebrities, who have just given birth, points out the super mother must be the full identity of the woman, refractory or not to the ideal of mother. Psychoanalysis places the determinants of the subject beyond the order of the natural, breaking with an instinctive maternal love from the creation of the concept of drive. However this maternal ideal ends up facilitating the guilt and with her, depression. In that process must have a careful look at the woman, because this psychic frame with guilt as background reinforces an ambivalent and alienating behavior. The mother may disinvest in the child by glimpsing other libidinal investments. This kind of attitude alleviates her guilt because a displacement for herself or for what motherhood represents does not mean abandonment or absence of child care. Relativize motherhood with fewer manuals, advice and more respect for individualities and possible mothering is necessary / Neste estudo proponho uma leitura psicanalítica sobre a maternidade, problematizando se todas as mães correspondem às expectativas sociais sobre ela. Apoiada numa revisão de literatura, fiz um aprofundamento em alguns aspectos como parto e amamentação; idealização e romantismo e ainda sobre a questão da culpa. A maternidade configurando-se como uma operação psíquica, também implica numa opção que, na contemporaneidade brasileira, sofre pressões e cobranças sociais mediante um ideal de mãe preestabelecido, fazendo com que muitas mulheres iniciem esse processo com uma culpa antecipada. Ilustrando esta questão, utilizei-me da fala livre de cinco celebridades, que acabaram de dar à luz, refratárias ou não ao ideal de mãe, capturando que a supermãe deve ser a identidade plena da mulher. A Psicanálise, rompendo com um amor materno instintivo, a partir da criação do conceito de pulsão, coloca os determinantes do sujeito para além da ordem do natural, porém esse ideal materno que preconiza a total satisfação e realização da mãe com o bebê, acaba por facilitar a culpa e com ela a depressão. Nesse processo deve-se ter um olhar cuidadoso para com a mulher, pois este quadro psíquico tendo a culpa como pano de fundo reforça um comportamento ambivalente e alienante. Ao vislumbrar outros investimentos libidinais, a mãe pode desinvestir na criança, amenizando sua culpa, que não deve ser confundida com abandono ou ausência de olhar, mas como um deslocamento para ela mesma e para o que representa. É preciso relativizar a maternidade, com menos manuais, aconselhamentos e mais respeito às individualidades e às maternagens possíveis
