ABSTRACT
Background: The term "obstetric violence" is widely used today, and several definitions
can be found, all with the common denominator of criticizing practices that do
not promote dignified and respectful childbirth.
Objectivoe: To evaluate, through a narrative bibliographic review, the current situation
of obstetric violence in order to define the perception of health personnel regarding
obstetric violence and health care practice, as well as the term obstetric violence. In
addition, to evaluate proposals for improvement in health care that will provide patients
with better peripartum care.
Methodology: Bibliographic review of articles published from 2017 to 2022 in
PubMed, Scopus, Medes, Lilacs, Cinahl, SciELO and Web of Science databases. Search
terms: Violence; obstetrics; humanizing delivery; obstetric delivery.
Results: 1469 bibliographic references were located and after applying the inclusion
and exclusion criteria, only 17 remained and another 13 were included because they
were considered of interest to enrich the analysis.
Conclusions: Obstetric violence generates controversy not only in society, but also
among health professionals who directly care for pregnant women during childbirth.
Providing current and future health professionals with the necessary tools to treat
patients from a biopsychosocial model is essential to provide better and higher
quality care.
