Estudio comparativo de la atención del parto con el sistema habitual y la atención con acompañante Doulas experiencias en el Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, Cuenca 2005

Abstract

It is an analytical study with application of methods of quantitative and qualitative research. The presentation of data is done in two stories and statistical tables with the corresponding interpretation. In the theoretical phase and interpretation discussed: forms of professional control are not always enough to alleviate the fears of the woman who will give birth, for this reason the presence of a female interlocutadora call intends Doula who understands because he has lived, fears and transformations of the body during periods of pregnancy, labor and delivery. The proposal reflects the sociocultural adaptation strategies used by women in the media (Cuenca-Ecuador) and other similar circumstances. Motherhood currently focused in one direction, prioritizing comfort criteria and compared with statistics, but any strategy that applies not avoid the problems of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The intervention of the Doulas, for rapprochement with the CETP (people in gestation) has the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality indicators. In several Latin American countries it is being given impetus to the intervention of the Doula as a companion to the women who live the experience of pregnancy and childbirth. The study sought to test the impact of the presence and involvement of Doulas in times of pregnancy and childbirth. The review of the theoretical framework raises some fundamental characteristics of the intervention of the Doulas at different times of pregnancy, labor, delivery, puerpero and newborn care. In the final part two accounts (life stories) and the statistical tables that show the impact of the intervention of the Ecuadorian reality Doulas are presented
