Abstract:

The aim of this review is to present the state of the art regarding obstetric violence in Brazil. The most commonly used terms are \"Obstetric Violence,\" \"Disrespect and Abuse,\" and \"Mistreatment,\". Concerning measurement, the most widely used instrument is based on the definition of \"Mistreatment,\" still in its early stages of evaluation and lacking adaptation to the Brazilian. The prevalence of obstetric violence varies widely in national studies due to methodological factors and the type of postpartum women considered. Regarding risk factors, adolescent or women over 35, non-white, with low education levels, users of the public health system (SUS), those who had vaginal birth or abortion, are at higher risk. Hierarchical relationships between the health team and the family are also relevant, as well as inadequate hospital structures, bed shortages, and insufficient healthcare professionals, which contribute to obstetric violence. The consequences of this violence include an increased risk of postpartum depression and PTSD, reduced likelihood of attending postpartum and childcare consultations, and difficulties in exclusive breastfeeding. Interventions to mitigate obstetric violence should consider women\'s empowerment, healthcare professionals\' training, monitoring obstetric violence, and legal support.
