ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Evaluar la implementación de las medidas participativas y la conformación de redes de apoyo para mujeres embarazadas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó una evaluación cualitativa y comparativa en cuatro estados. RESULTADOS: La coordinación y la participación comunitaria fueron favorables en los casos en los que se observó mayor asignación y disponibilidad de recursos, tales como transporte y posadas maternas. La participación y el liderazgo de actores gubernamentales favorecieron la vinculación y coordinación. El apoyo más valorado por las usuarias provino de su red de parentesco. CONCLUSIONES: Es fundamental fortalecer y promover medidas participativas en zonas con elevada mortalidad materna. La amplia valoración de las redes de parentesco, las parteras y el voluntariado en los albergues sugiere que estos actores son un componente funcional de la red de apoyo y que es insuficiente focalizar la red en los servicios de salud y las autoridades municipales.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the implementation of its participative strategies and the creation of support networks for poor pregnant women. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A qualitative and comparative evaluation was carried on in four states. RESULTS: Coordination and community participation were relevant in relation with major resources allocation and availability, particularly housing and transportation. Governmental actors involvement and leadership favoured linking and coordination. Pregnant women used to valuate as the major support source the one provided by their kinship networks. CONCLUSIONS: To strengthen and to stimulate participative strategies is fundamental in zones with high maternal mortality rates. The wide appreciation of kinship networks, midwives and voluntaries' support to pregnant women in housing and transportation, suggests that these actors are a functional component of the support network; it is insufficient focusing the support network on health services and municipal authorities.
