Importância do desenvolvimento do plano de parto para as gestantes na atenção primária à saúde: revisão integrativa

Abstract

Introduction: The birth plan is an ethical-legal document developed as a form of education and health promotion tool, recommended by bodies such as the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health. Objective: This study aimed to identify, in the scientific literature, the importance of developing a birth plan for pregnant women in Primary Health Care. Methodology: integrative literature review carried out in the LILACS, MEDLINE, SCIELO and BDENF databases, comprising 8 articles published in Portuguese between 2018 and 2022. Results: It was possible to identify as a result that the birth plan is a tool that positively impacts the entire gestational period, as well as the parturition process, developing autonomy and knowledge so that the woman can be the protagonist of the entire process that involves pregnancy and childbirth, always based on scientific evidence. Conclusion: The development of a birth plan is of the utmost importance in prenatal consultations carried out in Primary Health Care, as it strengthens the bond between professionals and pregnant women, developing autonomy and empowerment so that women can be the protagonists of their parturition process, thus distancing them from obstetric violence.
