Abstract:

There are no nationwide studies characterizing accessibility for people with disabilities during delivery. This study aimed to describe a physical structure of hospital units regarding accessibility for pregnant and postpartum women with motor (MD), visual (VD) or hearing (HD) deficiency in Brazil. This is an ecological, descriptive study conducted on all 606 health facilities linked to the “Rede Cegonha” deliveries occurred, according to 2015 databases. We did the descriptive and geospatial analysis. We considered the presence of motor accessibility when the establishment had a handrail or elevator ramp, wheelchair-sized doors and accessible bathroom with bars. We considered visual accessibility when there was tactile signage on the floor (Braille system or embossed figures). Hearing accessibility when there was signage by texts, pictures, signs, posters or symbols in the environments. In Brazil, only 26 (4.3%) of the facilities had accessibility for people with MD, 20 (3.3%) for people with VD, and none for HD. Motor accessibility was worse in the North and Northeast of Brasil, and hearing accessibility in the North region. Despite advances in the implementation of the “Rede Cegonha” in Brazil, the structure of the facilities is not adapted for women with MD, VD or HD.
