Abstract

The objective of this article was to analyze some cultural aspects of women who have experienced normal deliveries at hospitals of the National Health System. It is a qualitative research, and its theoretic-methodological reference was the Theory of Social Representation. For data collection ten women who had normal childbirth were interviewed. As a result, we could notice that many of the aspects that they had experienced were mostly associated to an institutional culture that revealed a treatment based on violence, and disrespect to the principles of the Birth Humanization Program created by the Brazilian Health Ministry. We concluded that there are still a lot of investments to be done to improve the quality of the assistance given to labor deliveries at the studied hospitals.
