APLICAÇÃO DE CHECKLIST SOBRE CUIDADOS INTRAPARTO NO PARTO NORMAL

Given the context of the use of technologies to support good practices in childbirth, the aim of this study was to apply the intrapartum care checklist in vaginal birth. Descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed during the months of November and December 2020, in the delivery rooms of two hospitals, one secondary and the other tertiary. The study sample consisted of convenience, totaling 40 professionals. The instrument data were grouped, tabulated and transferred to the Excel program. Descriptive data analysis was performed using relative and absolute frequencies. It was observed that professionals followed the recommendations of most items aimed at the first stage of labor. The rate of adherence to the practice of item 3 “Performance of vaginal touch by the professional every four hours” was 6 (15%), a recommendation that obtained less adherence among professionals. Regarding the second stage of labor, items 2 and 3 were the ones that reached 22 (55%) and 20 (50%), respectively, being the lowest adherence in the category. In the third stage, there is a maximum adherence of 40 (100%) corresponding to item 1 “Use of uterotonics”. It is concluded that the professionals obtained a good rate of adherence in relation to the practices evaluated in the checklist, always looking for ways to reduce the harm related to childbirth. Furthermore, it showed that births attended by these professionals have fewer interventions and were permeated by good practices.
