Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the scientific production available in the literature on obstetric violence in Brazil, identifying and discussing its main characteristics in the daily care of the pregnant and puerperal cycle. Method: Integrative literature review, carried out in the databases: SciELO, LILACS and BDENF. Six full articles published between 2015 and 2019 were selected. To systematize the articles selected in the search, an instrument validated by Ursi was defined. Results: Eight studies that met the previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed. In view of the analysis of these texts, it was found that the professionals described as promoters of obstetric violence were doctors, nurses, nursing technicians and medical students. From this, factors related to the occurrence of obstetric violence were identified, among them, the predominant factor was the deficiency in the training of doctors and other health professionals. Conclusion: Despite efforts to combat it, this review shows that obstetric violence is present in different areas of attention, confirming that actions are still insufficient for its eradication.
