Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate childbirth and birth care practices in maternities in the North and Northeast of Brazil. Method: Qualitative assessment carried out in 91 maternity hospitals in the North and 181 in the Northeast Brazil. The research technique was systematic observation, performed by 44 previously trained evaluators and recorded in a field diary. Thematic content analysis was performed. Results: The thematic groups were challenges of collegiate management; obstetric violence and potential of the evaluation process in inducing changes. Advances in the implementation of best practices in management and health care were identified, although some maternity units still reproduce a hierarchical model without collegiate management spaces and with some obstetric violence practices. The presence of risk situations in pregnant women was given as a justification for the lower adherence of health professionals to good practices, however, actions towards humanization have also been detected. During the research it was found that the evaluation process itself was capable of producing changes towards good practices. Conclusion: Changes towards the good practices recommended by Rede Cegonha were evidenced, both in management as in care, but there are many challenges in view of the predominance of a hierarchical management model associated with interventionist practices.
