Factors associated with obstetric violence: An integrative review of the literature
Rev. ciênc. méd., (Campinas); 25 (3), 2016
Publication year: 2016
Objective
To perform an integrative review of the literature on the factors associated with obstetric violence and to present the main pieces of evidence found in the selected articles.
Methods
Data were collected from 20 articles published in the databases MedLine, LILACS, SciELO, and Google Scholar between the years 2010-2016.
Results
The professionals described as promoters of obstetric violence were physicians, nursing staff, and medical students.
The results were systematized and discussed by five categories:
(1) health professional education; (2) episiotomy without clinical recommendation; (3) excessive labor medication; (4) taking away the right to a companion; and (5) institutional unpreparedness and an estranging work pace associated with inadequate resources. The women’s right to be the protagonists of their own story should not be denied to them by not providing proper, safe, qualified, respectful, and science-based health care. Conclusion In conclusion this study may help to sensitize professionals to change violent practices. Once the factors associated with obstetric violence are identified, it is possible to intervene directly and encourage managers and institutions to implement humane teaching practices and improve the quality of public health services.
