Um estudo descritivo dos resultados obstétricos e neonatais em dois modelos de assistência ao parto em primíparas

Introduction: In the 20th century, childbirth went from being attended at home to the hospital setting. Inappropriate and unnecessary interventions were uncritically adopted, leading to a dehumanization of childbirth. This is the model that currently exists in most Spanish hospitals, which has been questioned by the World Health Organization as early as 1996. Objective: The aim is to describe the differences in obstetrical and neonatal results across two different models of maternity care (biomedical model and humanised birth). Method: A correlational descriptive and multicenter study was carried out. A convenience sample of 205 primiparous women, 110 biomedical model and 95 humanised model, were recruited. Obstetrical and neonatal results were compared in two hospitals with different models of maternity care in Spain. Results: The humanised model of maternity care produces better obstetrical outcomes (spontaneous beginning of labour, normal vaginal birth, intact perineum and I degree tear and less episiotomies) than the biomedical model. There were no differences in neonatal outcomes. Conclusion: The benefits of implementing a humanised model of delivery care should be considered by health policy makers and reflected in the woman and her baby.Introducción: En el siglo XX el parto pasó de ser atendido en casa al ámbito hospitalario. Se adoptaron de forma acrítica intervenciones inapropiadas e innecesarias que condujeron a una deshumanización del parto. Este es el modelo que existe actualmente en la mayoría de los hospitales españoles y que fue cuestionado por la OMS ya en 1996. Objetivo: Describir las diferencias que existen en los resultados obstétricos y neonatales en primíparas en dos modelos distintos de asistencia al parto (biomédico y humanizado). Método: Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal. Se obtuvo una muestra por conveniencia de 205 primíparas, 110 del modelo biomédico y 95 del humanizado. Se compararon los resultados obstétricos y neonatales en dos hospitales con modelos diferentes de asistencia al parto en España. Resultados: En el modelo humanizado de asistencia al parto se obtuvieron unos mejores resultados obstétricos (inicio espontáneo, parto eutócico, periné íntegro o desgarro de I grado y menos episiotomías) que en el biomédico. No hubo diferencias en los resultados neonatales. Conclusión: Los beneficios de instaurar un modelo humanizado de asistencia al parto deberían ser considerados por los responsables de políticas sanitarias y reflejados en la mujer y su criatura.Introdução: No século XX, o parto deixou de ser realizado em casa para ser realizado no ambiente hospitalar.

Objetivo: O objetivo principal desse estudo é descrever as diferenças existentes nos resultados obstétricos e neonatais em primíparas em dois modelos distintos de assistência ao parto (biomédico e humanizado). Método: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, transversal. Obteve-se uma amostra por conveniência de 205 primíparas, 110 do modelo biomédico e 95 do modelo humanizado. Os resultados obstétricos e neonatais foram comparados em dois hospitais com diferentes modelos de assistência ao parto na Espanha. Resultados: No modelo humanizado de assistência ao parto obtiveram-se melhores resultados obstétricos (início espontâneo, parto eutócico, períneo íntegro ou laceração grau I e menos episiotomias) do que no modelo biomédico. Não houve diferença nos resultados neonatais. Conclusão: Os benefícios da implementação de um modelo humanizado de assistência ao parto devem ser considerados pelos formuladores de políticas de saúde e refletidos na mulher e em seu bebê

Estudio comparativo de la recuperación postparto en base a los Patrones de Marjory Gordon

Objective: Analyse if there is any difference in recovery rate according to their puerperium stage depending on perineal lesion.Material and method: Prospective longitudinal descriptive quantitative study, following the Marjory Gordon’s Functional Health Patterns. Data collection will be performed in three phases (immediate, clinical and remote puerperium), through semi-structured interview completed in first instance in a face-to-face interview and phone call interview at 10 and 30 days, respectively. Results: In Spain there is an episiotomy, induction and assisted delivery rate much higher than recommended. Episiotomy technique lead to significant tear (16,7%) in this study. During immediate puerperium, women who were practiced an episiotomy shown mobility difficulties (p=0,0005), elimination (p=0,0007), baby care (p=0,015), rest (p=0,15) and perceived pain (p=0,005), whereas in the clinical puerperium are affected only mobility (p=0,05), elimination (p=0,042) and perceived pain (p=0,006). After 30 days, remote puerperium, there is not statistical significant differences in both groups. More research is needed to confirm these facts as well as provide new knowledge.Conclusions: Episiotomy produce more negative effects than spontaneous tears at the immediate and clinical puerperium of women. Pain produced by this technique as a short, medium and long term limit many daily activities of women.Objetivo: Analizar si existen diferencias en el nivel de recuperación en las distintas fases del puerperio según el tipo de lesión perineal.Material y método: Estudio cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo longitudinal prospectivo, siguiendo los Patrones Funcionales de Salud de Marjory Gordon. La recogida de datos se realiza en tres fases (puerperio inmediato, clínico y tardío), empleando entrevistas semiestructuradas que se completan en un primer momento en una entrevista personal y vía telefónica a los 10 y a los 30 días, respectivamente.Resultados: En España existe un índice de episiotomías, inducciones y partos instrumentales muy superior al recomendado. La técnica de la episiotomía produjo desgarros importantes (16,7%) en este estudio. Durante el puerperio inmediato, las mujeres con episiotomía tienen dificultades en la movilidad (p=0,0005), la eliminación (p=0,007), cuidado del bebé (p=0,015), descanso (p=0,15) y dolor percibido (p=0,005), mientras que en el puerperio clínico están afectados sólo la movilidad (p=0,05), la eliminación (p=0,042) y el dolor percibido (p=0,006). A los 30 días, en el puerperio tardío, no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos. Se necesitan más estudios que reafirmen estos hechos y aporten nuevos conocimientos.Conclusiones: La episiotomía produce más efectos negativos que los desgarros espontáneos en el puerperio inmediato y clínico en la mujer. El dolor que genera esta técnica a corto, medio y largo plazo es el que limita muchas de las actividades cotidianas de estas mujeres

Experiências de partos domiciliares e partos hospitalares de mulheres nos anos 60 e 70 na Espanha

El objetivo principal del estudio es describir la experiencia de las mujeres que vivieron sus partos en el entorno hospitalario y en casa, en España entre los años 60-70. Para las mujeres, el parto es uno de los momentos más especiales de sus vidas, de ahí la importancia de conocer los sentimientos experimentados en este proceso, lo que nos ayudará a mejorar estos cuidados en futuras ocasiones y saber qué es lo que las mujeres realmente valoran a la hora de dar a luz. En este estudio también queda reflejado que los partos en casa, siempre que sean de bajo riesgo y atendidos por personal cualificado, son seguros y que hay que dejar a la mujer que, con toda la información, decida siempre donde quiere dar a luz. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa basada en la Teoría Fundamentada.The main purpose of the study is to describe the experience of women who lived their births in hospitals and at home in Spain between 60’s and 70’s years. For women, childbirth is one of the most special moments of their lives, hence the importance of knowing the feelings experienced in this process, which will help us to improve this care on future occasions and know what women really value when giving birth. This study also reflected that home births, provided they are low risk and serviced by qualified personnel, are safe and we should be left to the woman who, with all the information, decide always where she want to give birth. This is a qualitative research based on Grounded Theory.O principal objetivo do estudo é descrever a experiência de mulheres que viveram suas entregas em hospitais e em casa em Espanha entre 60-70. Para as mulheres, o parto é um dos momentos mais especiais de suas vidas, daí a importância de se conhecer os sentimentos vivenciados neste processo, o que vai nos ajudar a melhorar essa assistência em ocasiões futuras e saber o que as mulheres realmente valor quando o parto. Este estudo também refletiu que partos domiciliares, desde que sejam de baixo risco e servido por pessoal qualificado, são seguros e quais devem ser deixadas para a mulher que, com todas as informações, decidir sempre onde você deseja entregar. Esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa, baseada na Teoria Fundamentada

Sexuality and affectivity after a grieving process for an antenatal death: a qualitative study of fathers’ experiences

The loss of an infant at the prenatal stage is one of the most traumatic events parents can experience. Prenatal losses have several negative implications for parents’ physical, psychological, and social well-being, including intimacy and sexuality. Fathers who suffer from this experience have to cope not only with their grief, but also with the physical and emotional suffering of their partners. The social context gives the father a masculine role of strength, insensitivity, and protection of the mother, with the result that his pain and grief become invisible. The objective of this study is to understand fathers’ experience of affective-sexual relationships after a grieving process for an antenatal death; A qualitative study based on interviews with 11 fathers in Spain who have experienced an antenatal death was conducted. Data were analyzed with the help of ATLAS.ti software to discover emerging themes. 6 sub-themes were developed from the analysis, grouped into two main themes: the invisibility of grieving fathers and the relationships between the grieving parents are influenced by the death of their infants. The sexuality of fathers who suffer an antenatal death is altered. Gender stereotypes and the lack of social and professional awareness make their grief invisible. Fathers need to express their emotions to cope with their own grief and break the stereotypical gendered bereavement. In most cases, the couple’s relationship is altered, from a close union to a more distant relationship, in addition to a decrease in sexual desire and arousal. However, other fathers experienced greater closeness and intimacy in the couple. A communication based on sincerity, exposing their own grief, feelings, emotions and needs could help the couple’s relationship

Impact of Perinatal Death on the Social and Family Context of the Parents

Background: Perinatal death (PD) is a painful experience, with physical, psychological and social consequences in families. Each year, there are 2.7 million perinatal deaths in the world and about 2000 in Spain. The aim of this study was to explore, describe and understand the impact of perinatal death on parents’ social and family life. Methods: A qualitative study based on Gadamer’s hermeneutic phenomenology was used. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 mothers and eight fathers who had suffered a perinatal death. Inductive analysis was used to find themes based on the data. Results: Seven sub-themes emerged, and they were grouped into two main themes: 1) perinatal death affects family dynamics, and 2) the social environment of the parents is severely affected after perinatal death. Conclusions: PD impacts the family dynamics of the parents and their family, social and work environments. Parents perceive that society trivializes their loss and disallows or delegitimizes their grief. Implications: Social care, health and education providers should pay attention to all family members who have suffered a PD. The recognition of the loss within the social and family environment would help the families to cope with their grief

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. Methods: A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). Results: In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p < 0.001) for tocilizumab, 0.82 (0.71-1.30; p 0.82) for IHDC, 0.61 (0.43-0.86; p 0.006) for PDC, and 1.17 (0.86-1.58; p 0.30) for combination therapy. Other applications of the propensity score provided similar results, but were not significant for PDC. Tocilizumab was also associated with lower hazard of death alone in IPTW analysis (0.07; 0.02-0.17; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situatio

Comparativa de dos modelos diferentes de asistencia al parto y su influencia en la satisfacción de la mujer con la experiencia del parto

Objetivos Describir las diferencias que existen en los resultados obstétricos y la satisfacción de la mujer con su experiencia del parto en dos modelos distintos de asistencia al parto (biomédico y humanizado). Método Estudio observacional de corte transversal con una muestra de 406 mujeres, 204 del modelo biomédico y 202 del modelo humanizado, en dos hospitales de España. Se usó para medir la satisfacción una versión modificada del cuestionario validado Women’s Views of Birth Labour Satisfaction Questionnaire (WOMBLSQ). Las mujeres completaron el cuestionario durante su estancia hospitalaria. Resultados Diferencias en los resultados obstétricos (modelo biomédico/modelo humanizado): inicio del parto (espontáneo 66/137, estimulación 70/1, p= 0,0005), alivio del dolor (epidural 172/132, ninguno 9/40, p=0,0005), tipo de parto (eutócico 140/165, instrumental 48/23, p=0,004), duración del parto (0-4h 69/93, >4h 133/108, p= 0,011), estado periné (íntegro o desgarro 94/178, episiotomía 100/24, p=0,0005). De la puntuación total del cuestionario (100) se obtuvo una media: 78,33 y desviación típica: 8,46 en el modelo biomédico y una media: 82,01 y desviación típica: 7,97 en el modelo humanizado (P= 0,0005). Analizando los resultados del cuestionario por ítems se obtuvieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas dándose las puntuaciones más altas en el modelo humanizado en 8 de las 9 subescalas (Apoyo por parte de los profesionales, Expectativas de la mujer, Contacto de la madre con el recién nacido, Apoyo del marido/pareja, Dolor durante la dilatación, Dolor después del parto, Entorno físico y Satisfacción general de la mujer). Conclusiones En el modelo humanizado de asistencia al parto se obtienen unos mejores resultados obstétricos y una mayor satisfacción de la mujer con su experiencia en el parto y puerperio inmediato que en el modelo biomédico. Palabras clave Satisfacción de la mujer; parto humanizado; modelo biomédico; matrona. Title A comparative study analyzing women´s childbirth satisfaction at two different models of maternity care. Abstract Objetives Describe the differences in obstetrical results and women´s childbirth satisfaction across two different models of maternity care (biomedical model and humanized birth). Methods A correlational descriptive study. A total of 406 women participated in the study, 204 of the biomedical model and 202 of the humanized model at two hospitals in Spain, where two models of maternity care are used. A modified version of The Women´s Views of Birth Labour Satisfaction Questionnaire (WOMBLSQ) was used to measure women´s childbirth satisfaction. The women completed the questionnaire during their postpartum hospital stays. Results The differences in obstetrical results were (biomedical model/ humanized model): beginning of labour (spontaneous 66/137; augmentation 70/1, p=0.0005), pain relief (epidural 172/132; no pain relief 9/40, p=0.0005), mode of delivery (normal vaginal 140/165, instrumental 48/23, p=0.004), length of labour (0-4h 69/93, >4h 133/108, p= 0.011), condition of perineum (intact perineum or tear 94/178, episiotomy 100/24, p=0.0005). From the total questionnaire score (100), it was obtained an M: 78.33 and SD: 8.46 at the biomedical model of care and an M: 82.01 and SD: 7.97 at the humanized model of care (P=0.0005). In the analysis of the results per items statistical differences were obtained in 8 of the 9 subscales (Professional support, Women´s expectations, Holding baby, Support from husband/partner, Pain in labour, Pain after deliver, Environment and General satisfaction). The highest scores were obtained in the humanized model of maternity care. Conclusions The humanized model of maternity care produces better obstetrical outcomes and women´s satisfaction scores during the labour, birth and immediate postnatal period than the biomedical model. Keywords Woman´s satisfaction; humanized childbirth; biomedical model; midwif

Métodos de proteção perineal: conhecimento e utilização

Objetivo: Analizar grado de conocimiento y utilización de los métodos de protección perineal durante el periodo expulsivo de los profesionales sanitarios implicados en el parto y si se corresponde con las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Método: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal dirigido a sanitarios que asisten partos en España. Resultados: Participaron en el estudio 57 profesionales: matronas (47%), ginecólogos (25%), Enfermero Interno Residente (EIR) (14%) y Médico Interno Residente (MIR) (14%) en Obstetricia y Ginecología. Hubo diferencias respecto al grado de conocimiento y utilización según el cargo desempeñado, siendo muy limitado para ginecólogos y MIR. Los únicos métodos reconocidos por todos los cargos fueron “Hands On” (p = 0,05). “Hands off ” (p = 0.002), “Control de pujos” (p = 0.0001) y “Posturas en el periodo expulsivo” (0.03) sólo son conocidos por las matronas y EIR. “Control de deflexión de la cabeza fetal” (0.035) y el “Control de pujos” (p = 0.011) son efectivos para matronas y EIR. La “Episiotomía” se identificó erróneamente como protector del periné por ginecólogos y MIR (p = 0.003). Conclusión: El grado de conocimiento y uso de los métodos de protección del periné de los profesionales no se corresponde con las recomendaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud.Objetivo: Analisar o grau de conhecimento e utilização dos métodos de proteção perineal durante o período expulsivo por parte dos profissionais sanitários implicados no parto e se ele se corresponde com as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde. Método: Estudo descritivo de corte transversal dirigido a sanitários que assistem partos na Espanha. Resultados: Participaram no estúdio 57 profissionais: obstetras (47%), ginecologistas (25%), Enfermeiro Interno Residente (EIR) (14%) e Médico Interno Residente (MIR) (14%) em Obstetrícia e Ginecologia. Houve diferencias no grau de conhecimento e utilização segundo o cargo desempenhado, sendo muito limitado para ginecologistas e MIR. Os únicos métodos reconhecidos por todos os cargos foram “Hands On” (p = 0,05). “Hands off ” (p = 0.002), “Controle de puxos” (p = 0.0001) y “Posturas no período expulsivo” (0.03) somente são conhecidos pelas obstetras e EIR. “Controle de deflexão da cabeça fetal” (0.035) e o “Controle de puxos” (p = 0.011) são efetivos para matronas e EIR. A “Episiotomia” se identificou erroneamente como protetor do períneo por ginecologistas e MIR (p = 0.003). Conclusão: O grau de conhecimento e uso dos métodos de proteção do períneo dos profissionais não se corresponde com as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde.Objective: To analyse the knowledge and use of perineal protection methods during the expulsive stage by health professionals involved in childbirth and whether they correspond to the World Health Organization’s recommendations. Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at health workers involved in births in Spain. Results: Fifty-seven professionals participated in the study: midwives (47%), gynaecologists (25%), nurse residents (14%) and resident physicians (14%) in obstetrics and gynaecology. The degree of knowledge and use of perineal protection methods differed according to the position held and was very limited among gynaecologists and resident physicians. The only method recognized by all positions was “hands on” (p = 0.05). “Hands off ” (p = 0.002), “delayed pushing” (p = 0.0001) and “maternal posture” (p = 0.03) were only known to midwives and nurse residents. “Flexion technique” (p = 0.035) and “delayed pushing” (p = 0.011) were used effectively by midwives and nurse residents. “Episiotomy” was erroneously identified as a method to protect the perineum by gynaecologists and resident physicians (p = 0.003). Conclusion: The degree of knowledge and use of perineal protection methods by health care professionals does not correspond to the recommendations of the World Health Organization
