O papel do acompanhante durante o ciclo gravídico puerperal: proposta de intervenção em uma UBS do médio Sertão alagoano

Abstract

It is an intervention plan that proposes actions to improve the community's knowledge about the companion's law and its role during the puerperal pregnancy cycle. The present study aims to train the team and create a group of pregnant women and companions in the basic health unit in order to increase the knowledge of these groups in the local community regarding the theme. Based on proposal for humanization, the Ministry of Health recommends that obstetric units provide a structured environment for the women's assistance during labour, delivery and postpartum, making more feasible the presence of the companion. The World Health Organization recommends, in turn, the respect of the woman’s choice about their companions during this process, ensuring that the mother must be accompanied by people she trusts and with whom she feels comfortable, because she sees the presence of this companion as a great help, especially related to emotional support and physical comfort. Therefore, it is necessary to implement this proposal to improve the local reality so that the rights of the pregnant woman are indeed guaranteed.
