O plano de parto como meio de promoção à informação: um instrumento de retomada do protagonismo feminino no processo parturitivo

Abstract

Over the years, childbirth has gone through several changes, with the migration from the home environment to the hospital being the most significant, followed by the pathologization of the birth process and, consequently, its medicalization. This scenario corroborates violence in childbirth, which is both physical, psychological, moral and even sexual. On the other hand, there is a growing movement for the humanization of childbirth, which seeks to reestablish the female role, an example of which is the construction of the birth plan by the pregnant woman herself. Thus, the present research has the following issue: To what extent does the use of the birth plan promote the pregnant woman's right to information in the city of Santarém/PA? The Nascer em Santarém Extension project, linked to the Human Rights Clinic of the Federal University of Oeste do Pará - UFOPA, provides assistance for the preparation of the aforementioned document, which consists of the expression of the pregnant woman's will in relation to her delivery, prepared in an individualized manner and according to your state of health. Thus, the following hypotheses will be tested: 1) the birth plan provides access to information for the pregnant woman, as well as acting as an efficient means of communication between the pregnant woman and the medical team; or 2) the birth plan does not provide access to information, nor does it establish a means of communication between the pregnant woman and the medical team. The research aims, therefore, to investigate whether the use of the birth plan acts as an information tool for pregnant women, as well as to analyze the experience report of pregnant women who prepared the document with “Born in Santarém” in 2019. From a human and fundamental rights perspective, a person must act in accordance with his convictions, as long as his actions are accountable. Therefore, it is necessary to have access to quality information.
