AÇÕES EDUCATIVAS PARA PREVENIR A VIOLÊNCIA OBSTÉTRICA PELOS PROFISSIONAIS DE SAÚDE: Uma Revisão Integrativa

Obstetric violence refers to disrespectful and abusive practices that women may face during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, which may be physical, verbal or psychological. This study aimed to identify, through an integrative literature review, educational actions to prevent obstetric violence. For this purpose, databases indexed in BVS, Lilacs, Bdenf, Scielo, Medline, PubMed were used, using the descriptors: obstetric violence, prevention, education and nursing. The inclusion criteria were articles published in the last 6 years, in English and Portuguese. The exclusion criteria were duplicated, incomplete articles and those that did not address the research question. The main findings highlighted that educational actions emerge as a transformative vector, capable of promoting a culture of humanized care centered on the parturient. The prevention of obstetric violence requires a collective and continuous effort, based on respect for human dignity, the appreciation of female autonomy and the ongoing training of health professionals.
