ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the meanings attributed to pregnancy in the context of Lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome by women and healthcare professionals. Method: Qualitative research, using Symbolic Interactionism as a theoretical framework and Grounded Theory, a constructivist perspective. Data were collected between January and August 2022, through online interviews with 27 women with Lupus located on the social network Facebook and in-person or remote interviews with 12 healthcare professionals. Results: The theoretical model constructed has two categories: “Equal conditions, distinct experiences: experiencing the gestational process” shows that obstetric complications and lack of connection with healthcare professionals trigger negative meanings to the experience; and “Therapeutic management interfering in the attribution of meanings to the experience”, demonstrates that the way women interact with healthcare professionals and how they manage treatment favors a positive reframing. Final considerations: The meanings attributed to pregnancy are elaborated and modified according to the interpretation of previous and current experiences, healthcare trajectory and interactions with healthcare professionals. Previous guidance, planning, bonding and trust in healthcare professionals enable positive meanings, while obstetric complications, unqualified assistance and lack of bonding with professionals provide negative meanings.

Abstract Objective To analyze the childbirth experience focusing on the intervening factors and on the delivery method. Method A sequential and explanatory mixed-methods study guided by the World Health Organization document for positive childbirth experiences. The participants were puerperal women in a maternity teaching hospital from inland São Paulo (Brazil). The first quantitative stage involved descriptive analysis with Poisson regression of 265 answers to the “Termômetro da Iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Mulher e da Criança” (“Women- and Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative Thermometer”) questionnaire. The second stage, qualitative, thematically analyzed the interviews conducted with 44 puerperal women who took part in the first stage. Data integration was by connection. The results and discussion The analysis by connection showed that among the factors that restricted the positive experience, C-section was predominant (61.9%), understood as an option due to fear of pain, the treatment modality and previous traumas. Restrictions referring to the presence of a companion (99.6%), not having privacy (83%), disrespectful situations (69.5%), too many touches (56.9%) and the absence of skin-to-skin contact (55%), among others, potentiated fear, loneliness, concern, shame, the perception of disrespect and insecurity with the assistance provided. The promoting factors were as follows: choosing the companion (95.4%) for collaborating in the safety perception, not having infections (83.9%), having continuous team monitoring (82.2%) and pain relief methods (78.9%), which were valued by the women. Conclusion The intervening factors that promoted positive experiences were related to clinical and protocol-related issues and to service availability. The restrictive factors were associated with excess interventions, deprivation of rights and of choice, absence of privacy and restriction referring to the presence of a companion. Women with a normal postpartum period felt more insecure and disrespected when compared to those subjected to C-sections, whose choices were considered, although they had lower prevalence of skin-to-skin contact. There is an urgent need to apprehend women's experiences and turn them into actions that guarantee their lives in a safe and respectful way.

Abstract Background Despite the benefits of breastfeeding, early weaning is a reality, so less than 50% of children worldwide and in Brazil are on exclusive breastfeeding in the sixth month of life. A strategy to counteract this scenario is breastfeeding counseling. This study aims to verify the effectiveness of individualized counseling by nurses trained in breastfeeding counseling, on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, compared to standard care. Methods Multicenter, randomized, parallel, and open clinical trial, with primiparous women aged over 18 years, hospitalized in rooming-in wards at participating centers and hemodynamically stable, aware, and oriented, who had a single-fetus pregnancy and gave birth, regardless of the type of delivery, with live child, gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks and birth weight greater than 2500 g. The women will be initially approached in rooming-in wards and, upon consent to participate in the study, will be allocated through randomization by blocks composed of eight participants in two groups: intervention and control. The randomization lists will be organized by a central without involvement with the study, which will manage the allocation groups and be prepared in the Randon® program. Women allocated to the intervention group will receive breastfeeding counseling by trained nurses, and those in the control group will receive standard care at the center participating in the study. Discussion The results can contribute to breastfeeding by evidencing possible exclusivity and duration of the counseling trained nurses provide.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify factors associated with fear of COVID-19 among women who experienced pregnancy or childbirth during the pandemic. Methods: a cross-sectional study, nested within a prospective cohort, using an online survey, from August 2021 to February 2022, based on descriptive data analysis. Results: of the 431 participants, 52.8% were postpartum women and 20.1% were pregnant women. With regard to fear of COVID-19, a mean score of 20.46 was obtained (moderate fear). The highest fear scores were present in women whose newborns were admitted to hospital in neonatal critical units (p=0.032), and the lowest among those covered by supplementary health (insurance) (p=0.016). Conclusion: among pregnant and postpartum women, high fear of COVID-19 translated into the possibility of having newborns admitted to hospital in a critical unit. The importance of supporting actions to support pregnant/postpartum women’s mental health in relation to COVID-19 or other threats that may influence the neonatal outcome stands out.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the effectiveness of different diagnostic methods to estimate postpartum blood volume loss. Methods: a systematic review of effectiveness according to PRISMA and JBI Protocol. Searches in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and CINAHL, with descriptor “Postpartum Hemorrhage” associated with keyword “Quantification of Blood Loss”. Tabulated extracted data, presented in metasynthesis and meta-analysis was applied to quantitative data. To assess risk of bias, JBI Appraisal Tools were applied. Results: fourteen studies were included, published between 2006 and 2021. Quantification of loss by any method was superior to visual estimation and is highly recommended, however the studies’ high heterogeneity did not allow estimating this association. Conclusion: the studies’ high heterogeneity, with a probable margin of error given the uncontrolled factors, indicates the need for further studies, however quantification proved to be effective in relation to visual estimate.

Conclusion: the mothers had high quality of life scores. However, the socioeconomic domain was the most compromised and the family domain presented the best scores, indicating the importance and satisfaction linked to birth and family configuration.

Abstract Objective: to identify feelings, experiences and expectations of the mothers during the first visit to the child hospitalized in a Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit of a teaching hospital in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais. Method: qualitative research conducted between November 2016 and April 2017, with 24 mothers during a first visit to their children in the intermediate care unit. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, transcribed and submitted to Content Analysis. Results: from the analysis emerged three thematic categories: feelings that precede the first visit, the experience of the first visit, feelings experienced during the first visit. Conclusion and implications for practice: the participants demonstrated that the first visit to their children can bring positive feelings and negative experiences. Strategies to minimize fears and clarify doubts favor the realization of motherhood.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To analyze the available evidence in the literature on nursing care for women with pre-eclampsia and/or eclampsia. METHODS: Integrative review searching for primary studies in the databases PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS and SciELO. RESULTS: The sample size consisted of 17 primary studies published between January 2000 and December 2014, grouped into four categories: standardizing blood pressure measurement technique; training with simulation; instruments for standardization of care and quality of care The main nursing actions were: physical examination, early detection of signs of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, monitoring of laboratory tests, fetal assessment, qualification and training of professionals. We identified the need for standardization of care from instruments, protocols and blood pressure measurement technique, early identification and treatment of hypertensive crisis through institutional protocols and review of cases and work processes. CONCLUSION: Women with pre-eclampsia and/or eclampsia require specific nursing care, which must be guided by care protocols based on scientific evidence.

Objetivo: relacionar perda hemática com queixas, sinais ou sintomas de alterações sanguíneas no puerpério, por meio da mensuração do nível de hemoglobina (Hb) e hematócrito (Ht). Método: estudo epidemiológico, seccional, realizado com 100 primíparas em um hospital paulista de ensino, entre agosto e dezembro/2012. Analisadas informações do cartão pré-natal/prontuário e dosado Hb e Ht, na admissão da parturiente e 48 horas pós-parto. Aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade de São Paulo (HCRP nº 4172/2011). Resultados: mulheres com maiores perdas sanguíneas apresentaram diferença estatística para descoramento de mucosas e queixas sintomáticas - fraqueza, cansaço, desânimo e/ou apatia. Hipotensão e taquicardia não apresentaram relação com queda do hematócrito. Conclusão: assistência de enfermagem de qualidade pode contribuir para a redução da morbimortalidade materna, nos quadros de hemorragia pós-parto, a partir da identificação precoce e valorização de queixas e sinais/sintomas das puérperas e devidas intervenções. ABSTRACT Objective: to relate blood loss with complaints, signs or symptoms of blood disorders in the postpartum period, by measuring hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels. Method: epidemiological cross-sectional study of 100 primiparas at a São Paulo teaching hospital, from August to December, 2012. Information from antenatal and hospital records were analyzed and Hb and Ht dosed, at mother’s admission and 48 hours postpartum. The study was approved by São Paulo University research ethics committee (HCRP No. 4172/2011) Results: women with greater blood loss showed statistical differences in mucous membrane pallor and symptomatic complaints (weakness, fatigue, depression and/or apathy). Hypotension and tachycardia showed no association with decreased hematocrit. Conclusion: quality nursing care can contribute to reducing maternal morbidity and mortality in cases of postpartum hemorrhage, by early identification of, and consideration for, postpartum women’s complaints and signs/symptoms, and appropriate interventions. RESUMEN Objetivo: relacionar pérdida hemática con quejas, signos o síntomas de alteraciones de sangre en período post-parto, mediante medición del nivel de hemoglobina (Hb) y hematocrito (Ht). Método: estudio epidemiológico seccional realizado junto a 100 primíparas en un hospital universitario de Sao Paulo, entre agosto y diciembre / 2012. Fueron analizadas informaciones de registros prenatales y dosificados Hb y Ht en la admisión de la madre y 48 horas después del parto. El estudio fue aprobado por el Comité de Ética en investigación de Universidad de São Paulo (HCRP N. 4172/2011). Resultados: mujeres con mayor pérdida de sangre mostraron diferencia estadística para blanqueo de mucosas y quejas sintomáticas: debilidad, fatiga, desánimo y/o apatía. Hipotensión y taquicardia no tuvieron relación con la disminución del hematocrito. Conclusión: cuidados de enfermería de calidad pueden contribuir a la reducción de morbimortalidad materna, en casos de hemorragia postparto, por medio de identificación temprana y valorización de quejas y signos/síntomas de mujeres puérperas y procediendo a las debidas intervenciones.

Results: 30 women with an average age of 52 years were interviewed; most were diagnosed with breast cancer and received adjuvant chemotherapy. Regarding quality of life, the most negatively affected domains were the physical and psychological domains, followed by environmental and social domains. Conclusion: including quality of life measures in clinical practice appears to be crucial in promoting comprehensive care to patients and their families.

Abstract Objectives: ididentify the scores on the pregnant women’s knowledge on the signs of alert and labor and correlate the scores with the maternal age, number of children and the guidance they received during pregnancy. Methods: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach on pregnant women's previous knowledge of the signs of alert and labor performed with 100 pregnant women on their 30th week of gestation at the Hospital de Clínicas da UFTM (Clinical Hospital). The data collection was carried out from April to June 2016, using a semi-structured instrument tested as a pilot study. Results: only 21% of the pregnant women reported taking part in the pregnant women's group; 61% of them referred to not receiving any information on the signs of alert and labor. A statistically significant association was verified between the number of correct answers and the guidance they received during prenatal consultations. However, there was no correlation between the correct scores on maternal age and the number of children. Conclusions: the pregnant women who did not receive any kind of guidance, they had lower scores on the correct answers, which shows the importance of guiding them about Health Education during their prenatal consultations.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a associação entre síndromes hipertensivas e hemorragia pós-parto (HPP) através da mensuração do nível de hemoglobina (Hb) e hematócrito (Ht) em mulheres atendidas em um hospital universitário do interior paulista. Métodos Estudo epidemiológico, seccional, realizado com 100 primíparas, no período entre agosto e dezembro de 2012. Realizaram-se dosagens de hemoglobina e hematócrito na admissão da parturiente e 48 horas pós-parto. Consideraram-se como HPP valores ≥ queda de 10% do valor do hematócrito da admissão. A HPP foi considerada variável dependente, e as variáveis independentes consideradas foram as socioeconômicas, patológicas, assistência pré-natal, admissão, parto e assistência. Utilizaram-se análises estatísticas uni e bivariadas, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados As síndromes hipertensivas foram as doenças mais frequentes; houve presença de correlação positiva entre a queda nos níveis de Ht e Hb e não se identificou uma associação entre síndromes hipertensivas e HPP. Conclusões Primíparas portadoras de síndromes hipertensivas não apresentaram maior probabilidade de HPP.

Resumo Objetivos identificar os sintomas de ansiedade em mulheres rurais e a influência de variáveis sociodemográficas, econômicas, comportamentais e de saúde reprodutiva sobre os sintomas de ansiedade. Método estudo observacional e transversal. Participaram 280 mulheres residentes na área rural. Foi utilizado o inventário de ansiedade Traço-Estado. Na análise bivariada, foram usados o teste t-Student e a correlação de Pearson. Para a análise multivariada, foi realizada a regressão linear múltipla. Resultados os escores médios das mulheres foram de 38,3 e 41,4 pontos na ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço respectivamente. As mulheres que referiram convivência “ruim” com o companheiro apresentaram maiores escores de sintomas de ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço. A variável número de filhos foi preditora dos escores dos sintomas de ansiedade-estado e ansiedade-traço e a variável idade, preditora do escore dos sintomas de ansiedade-traço. Conclusão os resultados evidenciaram a influência de diferentes fatores com os sintomas de ansiedade entre as mulheres rurais. A identificação dos sintomas e os fatores associados, por parte da equipe de saúde, pode contribuir para ações específicas e encaminhamentos adequados.

Abstract Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of nipple traumas and to correlate this occurrence with socio-demographic and obstetric factors in a sample of assisted post-partum patients in a teaching hospital. Method: Cross-sectional, quantitative study of 320 post-partum patients assisted in the maternity from October 2015 to October 2016. Results: The prevalence of nipple trauma in the sample was 35.3%, and only previous experience with breastfeeding has behaved as a protective factor for trauma. No statistical associations were found with other variables. Conclusions and implications for practice: The data presented allowed us to delineate a profile of the post-partum patients assisted in a teaching hospital, as well as the characterization of the occurrence of nipple traumas. From this profile, guidelines can be established on the subject, both in the institution where the study was carried out and in other institutions, since from the literature, the need for this orientation in different contexts and institutions is identified.
