Abstract:

Objective: To know the perception of pregnant women about collective prenatal care mediated by educational technology, in the light of complexity thinking. Method: This is a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study carried out between August and November 2022. Nineteen pregnant women from a Family Health Strategy in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul participated in the study. Data were collected through individual interviews, after prenatal meetings and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: From the analyzed data, three thematic axes resulted: Prenatal care: the necessary reconnection of knowledge; Collective prenatal care: collaborative (re)construction of experiences and practices; and Educational technology: tool to induce self-reflection and self-knowledge. Conclusion: Collective prenatal care, mediated by educational technology, is capable of inducing better practices in the pregnancy-puerperal path by fostering collaborative and shared spaces for building knowledge and making autonomous and responsible decisions.
