ABSTRACT

Resumo O trabalho analisa, por meio de pesquisa de campo, uma plenária da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio de Janeiro, "Parto humanizado e o direito da escolha". Entendendo esse como um espaço político de conflitos dos saberes da área médica, da enfermagem e do Legislativo, é ponderado o conteúdo da plenária com os discursos de saber/poder acerca do corpo feminino e de sua reprodução. O artigo explora as tensões em torno da luta política pelo "parto humanizado" a partir de demandas feitas pelo Conselho Regional de Enfermagem. É abordada também a história da medicalização do parto e o papel das enfermeiras, obstetrizes e parteiras nesse processo.


Abstract This work uses a field survey to analyze a plenary session of the Rio de Janeiro Legislative Assembly entitled "Humanized childbirth and the right to choose." Understanding this as a political space for conflicts of knowledge pertaining to the areas of medicine, nursing, and legislature, we consider the content of this session and discourses of power/knowledge surrounding the female body and reproduction. The article explores tensions around the political struggle for "humanized childbirth" via demands made by the Regional Council of Nursing. We also address the history of the medicalization of childbirth and the role of nurses, professionals specialized in low-risk births (obstetrizes), and midwives in this process.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa que analisou as trajetórias de pesquisadoras que produziram teses e/ou dissertações sobre humanização do parto e nascimento em programas de pós-graduação brasileiros. As questões que nortearam a investigação foram: como as pesquisadoras detectam a emersão da concepção de humanização para o parto e nascimento em suas trajetórias profissionais? Como essas trajetórias se relacionam com a história do movimento de humanização do parto e nascimento no Brasil? O referencial teórico foucaultiano contribuiu para identificar as posições ocupadas pelas pesquisadoras no discurso em prol da humanização, seus lugares de enunciação, bem como relações de saber e poder que permeiam a construção do movimento pela humanização do parto e nascimento no Brasil.


Abstract This qualitative research analyzes the trajectories of researchers who have produced master's and doctoral dissertations and theses on the humanization of childbirth in Brazil. The questions guiding the investigation are: How did the researchers detect the emergence of the conception of humanization of childbirth in their professional trajectories? How do these trajectories interrelate with the movement for the humanization of childbirth in Brazil? The Foucauldian theoretical framework adopted helps identify the positions occupied by the researchers in the discourse in favor of humanization, their places of utterance, and relations of knowledge and power that permeated the construction of the movement for the humanization of childbirth in Brazil.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Discute-se a difusão das práticas de parto natural por meio da análise dos livros Parto natural: guia para os futuros pais, escrito pelo obstetra americano Frederick Goodrich Jr. em 1950 e publicado no Brasil a partir de 1955, e Parto natural sem dor, escrito pelo obstetra brasileiro George Beutner, em 1962. Ambos tiveram boa entrada na cultura brasileira e influenciaram a forma de pensar o parto e de parir, tanto no âmbito da obstetrícia brasileira como no que concerne às representações das mulheres. A partir das contribuições de Roger Chartier e das concepções sobre medicalização, concluímos que essas novas práticas de preparação do parto compartilhavam as visões médicas sobre o parto e o nascimento predominantes no período.


Abstract The article explores the dissemination of natural childbirth practices through an analysis of the books Parto natural: guia para os futuros pais, written by U.S. obstetrician Frederick Goodrich Jr. in 1950, under the title Natural Childbirth: a manual for expectant parents, and first published in Brazil in 1955, and of Parto natural sem dor, written by Brazilian obstetrician Beutner in 1962. Both books found a place in Brazilian culture and influenced thinking about childbirth and delivery in the field of Brazilian obstetrics and in representations of women. Based on Roger Chartier's contributions and on concepts of medicalization, we conclude that these new practices for childbirth preparation shared the period's prevalent medical views of childbirth and delivery.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Discute-se o papel da revista feminina Claudia como dispositivo pedagógico no processo de medicalização da gestação e do parto no Brasil. A análise de edições das três primeiras décadas da revista revela como foram apresentadas e ensinadas informações nesse campo, articulando elementos de biomedicina, tecnologia e consumo. Sob a égide da supremacia da racionalidade científica e da política de risco, gestação e parto foram ressignificados e incorporados aos novos regimes médicos e tecnológicos, que incluíam a necessidade de internalização, por parte das mulheres, do desejo e obrigação de ser saudável durante a gravidez e gerar filhos sadios. Claudia traduziu para suas leitoras os novos conhecimentos médico-científicos e as novas normas da maternidade, repercutindo a complexidade e a múltipla agência da medicalização.


Abstract The role of the women's magazine Claudia as a pedagogic device in the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth in Brazil is discussed. The analysis of issues from the magazine's first three decades shows how information in this field was presented and taught, articulating elements of biomedicine, technology, and consumption. Under the aegis of the supremacy of scientific rationality and politics of risk, pregnancy and childbirth were resignified and incorporated into new medical and technological regimes, which included the need for women to internalize the desire and obligation to be healthy during pregnancy and produce healthy children. Claudia translated new scientific and medical knowledge for its readers, along with new norms of motherhood, reflecting the complexity and multiple agency of medicalization.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Nos últimos anos têm ocorrido mudanças no sistema obstétrico brasileiro, em função da distância entre o cenário nacional e recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde e da atuação de movimentos sociais. Isso evidencia a necessidade de considerar tanto o contexto nacional como o internacional. A fim de compreender a influência da transnacionalização no parto normal no Brasil, conduziu-se uma pesquisa documental para rastrear a evolução do sistema obstétrico no país. Como resultado, observou-se que a trajetória histórica do parto normal não se restringiu às fronteiras nacionais, tendo padrões e recomendações transnacionais impactado localmente, direcionando a criação de novas regulamentações.


Abstract In recent years, changes have taken place in Brazilian obstetrics in response to the distance between the national scenario and World Health Organization recommendations and the work of organized civil society. This indicates the need for the national and international contexts to be considered. As such, the aim here is to understand the influence of transnationalism on normal childbirth in Brazil. Documental research was conducted to trace out the development of obstetrics in the country. It was found that the historical trajectory of normal childbirth in Brazil has not necessarily been restricted to national borders, but has been influenced by transnational recommendations and standards, orienting the creation of new regulations.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Com a institucionalização da medicina no parto ocorre um deslocamento de gênero. No final do século XIX, ao mesmo tempo que as parteiras sofrem a marginalização e desqualificação de seu ofício, as mulheres lutam para conquistar acesso ao ensino superior nos cursos de medicina. Ainda na primeira metade do século XX, a escassez de mulheres nas faculdades de medicina é grande, assim como é relevante a atuação das parteiras, inclusive em contextos hospitalares. Parte dessa história está materializada na exposição "Mulheres e práticas de saúde", do Museu de História da Medicina do Rio Grande do Sul. Nosso objetivo é destacar a valorização desses saberes e práticas no Brasil junto à população por meio da educação não formal em museus.


Abstract With the institutionalization of medicine in childbirth there came about a shift in gender roles. In the late nineteenth century, at the same time as midwives' work was being marginalized and discredited, women were fighting to gain access to university-level medical education. In the first half of the twentieth century, there was a marked scarcity of women at medical faculties, and the work of midwives was important, especially in hospital settings. Part of this history is contained in the exhibition "Women and Health Practices" at the Museum of the History of Medicine of Rio Grande do Sul. We highlight the value given to this knowledge and these practices amongst the Brazilian population by means of informal education at museums.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This article explores women's reproductive health in early twentieth-century Rio de Janeiro, showing that elevated and sustained stillbirth and maternal mortality rates marked women's reproductive years. Syphilis and obstetric complications during childbirth were the main causes of stillbirths, while puerperal fever led maternal death rates. Utilizing traditional sources such as medical dissertations and lesser-used sources including criminal investigations, this article argues that despite official efforts to medicalize childbirth and increase access to clinical healthcare, no real improvements were made to women's reproductive health in the first half of the twentieth century. This, of course, did not make pregnancy and childbirth any easier for the women who embodied these statistics in their reproductive lives.


Resumo O artigo aborda a saúde reprodutiva das mulheres no Rio de Janeiro do início do século XX, mostrando que taxas elevadas de mortalidade materna e de contínua natimortalidade marcavam os anos reprodutivos das mulheres. As principais causas de natimortalidade eram sífilis e complicações obstétricas, enquanto febre puerperal encabeçava as taxas de morte materna. Utilizando fontes tradicionais como teses doutorais e fontes como investigações criminais, o artigo discute que, apesar dos esforços oficiais para medicalizar o parto e aumentar o acesso aos serviços de saúde, nenhuma melhoria real foi feita na saúde reprodutiva das mulheres na primeira metade do século XX. Isso, certamente, não facilitou a gravidez e o parto das mulheres que compunham as estatísticas em suas vidas reprodutivas.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Entre 1945-1964 o Brasil vivia uma acelerada modernização. Transformando-se numa sociedade urbana, sob o jugo do higienismo, procurava refutar práticas e costumes considerados tradicionais e arcaicos. Nesse contexto, a figura tradicional da parteira é preterida socialmente para dar espaço ao conhecimento médico, que passa a incidir sobre o partejar e o maternar. Este texto analisa o Boletim da LBA, investigando o processo de medicalização e cientifização da maternidade e do parto, tomando em observação os embates científicos e morais sobre maternidade e parto que ocupavam as páginas da publicação oficial da maior instituição de assistência no país.


Abstract Between 1945 and 1964, Brazil underwent an accelerated process of modernization. Increasingly urbanized and guided by the precepts of social hygiene, the country was keen to refute any practices or customs regarded as traditional or old-fashioned. As such, the traditional figure of the midwife was supplanted by medical knowledge, which came to exert influence on childbirth and motherhood. This text analyzes Boletim da LBA, investigating the medicalization and scientification of childbirth and motherhood and focusing on the scientific and moral clashes about motherhood and childbirth contained in this, the official publication of the country's largest welfare institution.

ABSTRACT

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi discutir as estratégias pedagógicas destinadas às mulheres para institucionalização da representação do parto normal a partir da obra Parto Natural: Guia para os futuros pais, publicada em 1955. Partiu-se de uma análise histórica e cultural desse livro em suas edições publicadas nos anos de 1955, 1957, 1960 e 1964, auxiliada por materiais publicados à época que compartilhavam das mesmas significações e representações referentes às questões do parto no contexto brasileiro. Esse período foi marcado pelo resgate e surgimento de métodos de preparação da mulher para o processo de parir. A análise, à luz do referencial teórico de Roger Chartier, principalmente com a noção de representação, e de Michel Foucault, indica que os dispositivos utilizados na tessitura da obra visaram propor um modelo de parto disciplinar, a institucionalização, medicalização e industrialização do parto normal no contexto brasileiro em meados do século XX.


Abstract The scope of this study is to discuss teaching strategies directed towards women to institutionalize the representation of normal birth based on the work "Natural Childbirth: A Guide for Future Parents", published in 1955. The research begins with a historical and cultural analysis of the 1955, 1957, 1960 and 1964 editions of this book. It is aided by materials published, in the same period, which share the same meanings and representations concerning issues surrounding childbirth in the Brazilian context. It is a period marked by retrospectives and the emergence of methods for preparing women for the childbirth process. The results of our analysis, in the light of Roger Chartier's theoretical framework, especially applying the notion of representation of Michel Foucault, indicate that the apparatuses used in the work's registers sought to propose a disciplinary model for childbirth: institutionalization, medical insertion and industrialization of normal childbirth in the Brazilian context of the mid-twentieth century.

ABSTRACT

ResumenIntroducción.El presente artículo muestra los resultados preliminares que forman parte de la investigación "Funciones sociales de la Enfermería en los diversos procesos históricos desde la construcción de la Salud Pública en la Costa Rica contemporánea", cuyo propósito es analizar los hechos sociales e históricos que favorecieron la profesionalización de la Enfermería, en un primer momento, con la fundación de la Escuela de Obstetricia en 1897.Materiales y método:Este artículo responde a una investigación histórica basada en tres pasos: la revisión de fuentes primarias como la Gaceta Médica y los informes de la Junta de Caridad, y fuentes secundarias; la evaluación crítica de los datos; y la interpretación y conclusiones de los hechos.Resultados:Los hechos que favorecieron la fundación de la Escuela de Obstetricia se relacionaron con la creciente tasa de mortalidad infantil, la necesidad de institucionalizar las prácticas sanitarias e higienizar a la población para construir un Estado fuerte que promoviera el desarrollo económico, así como con la lucha que emprendió la institución médica contra las prácticas populares de atención de salud.Conclusión.Se concluye que la represión de la curandería y la partería estuvo relacionada con el poder patriarcal. Además, la fundación de la Escuela de Obstetricia se relacionó a las condiciones sociales, políticas y económicas de la época basadas en la línea de desarrollo que estaba teniendo el país.


AbstractIntroduction:This article shows the preliminary results which are part of research "Social functions of nursing in different historical processes since the construction of the public health in the contemporary Costa Rica", whose purpose is to analyze the social and historical facts that favored the professionalization of nursing, initially, with the Foundation of the school of obstetrics in 1897.Method:This article responds to a historical research based on three steps: the revisión of primary sources such as the medical Gazette and the reports of the Board of charity, and secondary sources; the critical evaluation of data; and interpretation and conclusions from the facts.Results:The facts that favored the Foundation of the school of obstetrics was linked with the rising rate of infant mortality, the need to institutionalize health practices and sanitize the population to build a strong State for promoting economic development, as well as the struggle undertaken by the medical institution against popular health care practices.Conclusión:It is concluded that the repression of the quackery and midwifery was related to patriarchal power. In addition, the Foundation of the school of obstetrics was related to social, political and economic conditions of the time based on the line of development which was taking the country.

ABSTRACT

Through the cases of approximately 80 females in the case records of traditional physician Yi Sugwi (1664-1740?), the present study divided and reclassified the lives and diseases of females during the latter half of the Joseon Dynasty into childhood, obstetrics- and gynecology-related problems in adulthood, other diseases in adulthood, and old age and analyzed them. According to the results, female children were treated less preciously than were male children so that treatments by traditional physicians were sought out less when they were ill than in the case of male children, and acute infectious diseases were the most serious health problems. In the process of receiving treatment from traditional physicians as adults, females came in contact with traditional physicians, who were male, when necessary including face-to-face sessions and the reception of pulse examination but the yangban (literati-official) class practiced sex segregation as much as possible while the lower classes were considerably free from such restrictions. For female adults, the most serious health issues were pregnancy and childbirth so that they received help from traditional physicians and midwives when there were problems. Traditional physicians determined females' pregnancy and the health of fetuses and pregnant women through pulse examinations and medication and actively responded to diverse problems that surfaced in the process with medication and other treatments. Acute infectious diseases, too, were serious diseases suffered by females, and problems involving cold damage and the digestive system were among diseases frequently suffered by females in adulthood and old age. In old age, females often became ill in the arduous process of dealing with the deaths of adult descendants, siblings, and spouses, and tumors were among the major causes of their deaths. The deaths of those aged 70 or above were accepted as quite natural. Aged females endeavored to maintain their health and played the role of elders giving care to their descendants.

ABSTRACT

Ye Feng composed what was to become one of the most famous and widely-circulating medical works of the late imperial period, the Treatise on Easy Childbirth(1715). Ye Feng proposed the idea of natural childbirth, When the correct moment for birth had arrived, the child would leave its mother's body as easily as "a ripe melon drops from the stem". He argued attempts to facilitate birth were therefore not only unnecessary, and female midwives artificial intervention was not required. However, this view is to overlook the pangs of childbirth, and women bear responsibility for the failure of delivery. So his views reflect the gender order in male-dominated. Also he constructed the negative image of the midwife and belittle her childbirth techniques. As a result, midwife are excluded from the childbirth field, male doctors grasp guardianship rights of the female body. Ye Feng declared that the key to safe and successful delivery could be summed up in just a few words: "sleep, endure the pain, delay approaching the birthing tub". This view must be consistent with the Confucian norms, women to export to equip the 'patience' and 'self-control'. These norms were exposed desire men want to monitor and control the female body, effect on consolidation of patriarchal family order. In sum, the discourse of "a ripe melon drops from the stem" and "sleep, endure the pain, delay approaching the birthing tub" comprised an important intellectual resource that male doctors drew on to legitimate themselves as superior overseers of women's gestational bodies.

ABSTRACT

Trata-se de caracterizar a evolução da série histórica quanto ao tipo de parto, normal, cesárea e fórceps, no período de 1960 a 2001, nas três maternidades mais antigas e conveniadas ao Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) de Juiz de Fora. O método utilizado denomina-se história serial e permite a comparabilidade entre eventos históricos em determinado período de tempo. Foi identificado o aumento de incorporação tecnológica nesta trajetória e o crescente uso da cesariana até 1998, quando se identifica o impacto da portaria nº 2816, proposta pelo Ministério da Saúde, através de inversão dessa tendência com elevação do número de partos normais. A diferenciação constatada do tipo de parto de acordo com a categoria de internação aponta para uma discussão marcadamente política, que diz respeito às relações sociais em que se entrelaçam desigualdades de diversas ordens, entre elas as de gênero e de classe social. Conhecer as desigualdades e problematizar sua existência, traduzida em perfis de morbimortalidade e padrões desiguais de assistência, é precondição para obter o encaminhamento da solução.


The historical sequence of the evolution of the choice of birth delivery (normal, cesarean section, and forceps) between 1960 and 2001 was evaluated using data from the three oldest maternity hospitals affiliated to the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in the city of Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The so-called serial history method enables comparisons of historical events over a given time period. Greater incorporation of technology and an increase in cesarean sections were detected prior to 1998, when administrative ruling No. 2816 was proposed by the Ministry of Health, which reversed the trend back to normal birth deliveries. The form of delivery was also associated with the admission category, which points to a decidedly political discussion about social inequalities that are interrelated with diverse variables including gender and social class. Understanding inequalities and discussing their more difficult ramifications, with respect to morbidity, mortality, and unequal standards of care, are preconditions to finding solutions to these ubiquitous problems.

ABSTRACT

En el presente escrito abordaremos la experiencia del parto vivenciada por una importante cantidad de mujeres que optaron, en un determinado momento del estado de gravidez o ya iniciado el ‘trabajo de parto’, ‘dar a luz’ en el Hospital Materno-Infantil San Agustín de Valparaíso, dejando atrás la ayuda prestada por la ‘empírica’ partera; portadora de un acervo sociocultural aceptado y respaldado aún por las autoridades e instituciones del período. Más que ahondar en detalles relativos al contexto epocal, nos centraremos en mostrar los resultados alcanzados a partir del análisis de la información suministrada por las fuentes estudiadas (Boletines Clínicos y Estadísticos de la Maternidad). Resultados que nos hablarán del estado físico presentado por los recién nacidos, La cantidad de embarazos y partos experimentados por las gestantes antes de la actual atención, las ciudades de procedencia de las parturientas, entre otras consideraciones de índole descriptiva. Es así como las fi chas clínicas nos remitirán a la asistencia médica de más de 5.000 mujeres que decidieron aceptar un tipo de ayuda profesional que solo se encontraba cuando se recurría a una sala de maternidad como la construida en el San Agustín al fi nalizar la década de 1880, en los inicios de la medicalización del parto.


In this paper we will address the experience of childbirth experienced by a signifi cant number of women who chose to, at one point of the pregnancy state or already started the ‘labor, ‘give birth’ at the San Agustín maternal and child Hospital of Valparaíso, leaving behind support provided by the “empirical” midwife; bearer of a socio-cultural heritage accepted and still endorsed by the authorities and institutions of the period. Rather than delve into details of the epochal context, we will focus on showing the results obtained from the analysis of information provided by the studied sources (Clinical and Statistical Bulletins of Motherhood). Results that will show us the physical condition presented by the newborn, number of pregnancies and births experienced by pregnant women before the current attention, precedence of the parturients, among others descriptive considerations. That is how the medical records will send us to the medical care of over 5000 women that accepted, one kind of professional help, found only when it involved a maternity ward as the built in San Agustín at the end of 1880, at the beginning of the medicalization of childbirth.
