IMPACTO DA VIOLÊNCIA OBSTETRA NA SAÚDE FÍSICA E EMOCIONAL DA MULHER

Abstract

The experience of childbirth is often characterized by pain, suffering, discomfort and aggression. In fact, in addition to unnecessary and/or painful interventions, scientifically unsustainable restrictions and professional attitudes that constitute obstetric violence, whether physical, psychological or verbal, are also common. Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand and report the experience of a woman who is a victim of obstetric violence, its events and its physical and psychological consequences. As well as the preparation of an information leaflet to distribute information to pregnant women since prenatal care. Of a qualitative nature, the work developed is based on research of clinical cases of an exploratory and descriptive nature. The study included the participation of a woman who suffered violence during childbirth, which served as the basis for this study. The methodology used to collect information was a questionnaire developed by the authors and administered personally, containing 47 questions divided into three blocks: before childbirth, childbirth and after childbirth. In the report given by the research participant about the moments experienced during childbirth, the practices, pain and suffering resulting from the lack of information about their rights during childbirth stand out. Therefore, it seems that the consequences of obstetric violence can leave traces that last for years, both physically and psychologically.
