Abstract

Objective: Describe the parameter results of the assistance during parturition labor, provided by obstetrics resident nurses at a school hospital in the Federal District.

Method: This is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach realized through the document analysis method. The document used for analysis in this study was normal births registration book assisted by nurses in obstetrics residents and research in the electronic medical record. They observed 142 handbooks. The births were analyzed for the period between February 2011 to May 2015. In the analysis, were used frequency distribution and percentage through Microsoft Office Excel (2010).

Results: They analyzed 142 births. The prevalent age group among pregnant women was 20-30 years (48.6%), they were mostly single mothers (28.2%), first pregnancy (35.2%) and term pregnancy (38%). Facilitators exercises most used were the vertical positions (15.3%) and walking (11.4%). Most births was conducted without the use of oxytocin (62.7%). Maternal lithotomy position has been the predominant (73.9%), in most pregnant women has not been performed the episiotomy (85.2%) and there was first grade laceration (70.9%). Most new‑ borns got an Apgar score above 7 in the first and fifth minute of life (88.7% and 95.1%).

Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that the obstetrics resident nurses predominantly establish humanized care practices based on scientific evidence. The only conduct that was widely used, which goes against what is recommended in the literature is the predominance of lithotomy position, probably because of cultural concerns that envolve the professionals and the pregnant women. Therefore, the results of this analysis contribute for the improvement of obstetric assistance.
