O Parto Humanizado no Brasil: Entre a Assistência Baseada em Evidências e os Direitos das Mulheres

This study analyzes humanized childbirth in Brazil as a model of care combining scientific evidence, respect for physiology and women’s rights. A narrative and documentary review was conducted, centered on Diniz’s study and national and international guidelines. Findings indicate that humanization does not reject technology, but requires its judicious use with information, consent, continuous support and women’s participation. It concludes that implementation requires technical, institutional and organizational changes.
