A humanização no cuidado à parturição

ABSTRACT: This article regards a bibliographic revision that develops reflective considerations according to the view of many authors regarding the humanized assistance to delivery and birth. It also discuss the point of view from these authors about the biomedical approach that is still developed in many Brazilian hospital health institutions for women on pregnancy and puerperal period, where is possible to find conducts and attitudes considered as interventionist that constitute a discordant process with the official rules of women health policy. From this sight, the humanization of delivery and birth assistance was considered as a main point in the process of care of the parturient. In that way, we conceive that care in parturition is important and this care must be internalized and lived by health professionals of this area. KEY WORDS: Nursing Care; Humanizing Delivery; Obstetrical Nursing.
