Métodos não farmacológicos para o alívio da dor : percepções da equipe multiprofissional no trabalho e parto.

Abstract

Births made by witchdoctors and midwives were common in the past, but, from the 20th century, were moving to the hospital environment, in which concepts were created that birth and pain could be controlled, becoming a medical, surgical and technological act. Criticisms of this assistance model began to be questioned, arising in Brazil the Humanized Childbirth movement that proposed changes in care, avoiding unnecessary interventionist practices. The NPMPR appeared in labor birth and childbirth, used to replace the use of drugs and invasive technologies. The aim of this study is to analyze the professionals’ knowledge who work in the Obstetric Center of a School Hospital of Vale do Rio Pardo related to NPMPR in labor birth and childbirth. Methodologically this is an exploratory, descriptive research with a qualitative approach. It was obtained results by dividing the findings into four categories, being them, 1: knowledge of NPMPR and which are applied in the work environment, 2: effectiveness of NPMPR, 3: timing of labor birth in which NPMPRs are used, 4: frequency of the use of NPMPR, therefore, it was detected that the interviewees know the different methods, but mention bath, ball and walking as the most used in their work environment, once in its daily life this is a constant practice that accompanies the routines of the sector. So, it believes that childbirth assistance, despite presenting with some positive interventions from the use of NPMPR, experienced and verified in this study, it shows that there is still a long way to be traversed towards a more humanized care that contemplates the real needs of the parturients.
