O olhar de residentes em Enfermagem Obstétrica para o contexto da violência obstétrica nas instituições / The obstetric nursing residents' view on obstetric violence in institutions / La visión de residentes en enfermería obstétrica para el contexto de la violencia obstétrica en las instituciones

Este trabalho pretendeu compreender a percepção de residentes em Enfermagem Obstétrica sobre violência obstétrica em uma maternidade referência do município de Belo Horizonte, estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo descritivo e exploratório de abordagem qualitativa. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por meio de grupo focal. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo de Bardin, da qual emergiram três categorias: condutas inadequadas de assistência ao parto; procedimentos desnecessários com finalidades didáticas e/ou iatrogênicas; e preconceito de gênero, raça/etnia e de classe socioeconômica. O estudo aponta que as residentes reconhecem a prática da violência obstétrica no processo de formação e suas repercussões para a mulher e, ainda, evidencia a necessidade premente de investimento institucional em espaços que promovam discussões sobre a violência obstétrica.(AU)

This article aims to understand the obstetric nursing residents' perception of obstetric violence in a reference maternity hospital in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. It is a descriptive, exploratory, and qualitative study. Data was collected through a focus group. Bardin's content analysis was used to analyze data, from which three categories emerged: inadequate birth assistance conducts; unnecessary procedures with educational and/or iatrogenic purposes; and gender, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic class bias. The study indicates that residents acknowledge obstetric violence in the educational process and its repercussions to women. It also evidences the pressing need for institutional investment in spaces that foster discussions on obstetric violence.(AU)

Acceptability and use of clean home delivery kits in Nepal: a qualitative study.

This research was carried out in rural Nepal to explore how different categories of birth attendants at home deliveries accepted and used clean home delivery kit (CHDK) and its contents, including hand-washing practices, during delivery and preparations for birth. In-depth interviews were conducted to collect information from 51 women-both users and non-users of the kit. The respondents were interviewed within one month of their most recent delivery. Results of the interviews showed that the attendants who used the kit perceived it as hygienic and convenient, affordable, and culturally acceptable. The razor blade and thread were the most useful items, and the purpose of the plastic coin was understood. Despite its perceived usefulness, awareness and use of the kit were low, and common reasons for non-use included not knowing about the kit or difficulty in procuring a kit locally. In addition, the kit had limited influence on general hygiene practices. The authors explore the importance of evaluating promotional efforts re-targeted to individuals who hold decision-making power regarding the use of the kit. They recommend that kit promoters emphasize hand-washing and single use of the kit.
