Applying best practices to pregnant women in the obstetric center

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify the meaning attributed by nursing technicians to good care practices based on scientific evidence used with the pregnant women during the dilation stage of labor.

Method:

A qualitative study, based on Grounded Theory principles. Twelve interviews with nursing technicians attending labor in the obstetric center of two public hospitals, in Florianópolis/SC, were performed, from August of 2016 to March of 2017. Data were analyzed using open, axial coding.

Results:

The implementation of good practices, for nursing technicians, means adequately performing their activities, providing humanized care to the pregnant woman, respecting her autonomy, promoting pain relief, and a peaceful labor.

Final Considerations:

An adequate number of technicians must be determined to maintain quality of care, and to complete nursing records in a more detailed and systematized manner.
