Abstract

Nursing, as a health profession, must provide physical and emotional care, as well as provide health promotion and care. The objective of the study was to determine the importance of nursing care during labor. The methodology applied was descriptive, non-experimental, transversal. We worked with a sample of 50 pregnant women, using data collection methods through surveys to evaluate patient satisfaction in relation to the care received. Results: The main findings indicate that 98% of the pregnant women were satisfied with the treatment received, 96% with the cleanliness of the area and the waiting time, 90% with the comfort, and 88% with the information about the mother and baby care. Regarding respect for their rights, 96% were able to choose their position, 92% had immediate attachment and 90% chose the position to give birth. However, 100% did not allow a family member to cut the umbilical cord or be consulted about the placenta. Furthermore, 94% had no support and 60% could not consume medicinal waters or light foods. Although the services were generally satisfactory, areas for improvement were identified, such as allowing the accompaniment of a person chosen by the mother. Conclusion: Nursing care during labor must establish a caring relationship, starting from respect and empathy to achieve a humanized birth.
