Resumen
FARIAS-VELA, Adriana Patricia et al. Knowledge of humanized childbirth in Colombian residents and gynecologists. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.5, pp.299-306. Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v91i5.8430.
OBJECTIVE:
To identify, by means of a survey, the knowledge of specialists and residents in Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the benefits of respectful and dignified care for the patient at the time of delivery.
MATERIALSAND METHODS:
Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and prospective study carried out on a sample of obstetrician-gynecologists and residents from different universities and institutions in Colombia to whom a structured instrument was applied individually, in person or online, between December 2021 and August 2022.
RESULTS:
343 responses were obtained. Fifty-one percent of the sample were specialists with more than two years of experience. 37.2% of the residents were in their third year and 20.2% were in their second year. More than half of the respondents did not and do not receive any education on the subject. A gap in knowledge and implementation were identified. The entire sample did not recognize any maternal or neonatal benefit. 86.3% considered that there is no contraindication to the implementation of respectful and dignified childbirth and 94.8% expressed a correlation between misinformation and low implementation of respectful and dignified childbirth. 69.4% of the sample were aware of and implemented the birth plan in their daily practice.
CONCLUSIONS:
From the sample analyzed, it is concluded that there is misinformation about the maternal and neonatal benefits of dignified and respectful childbirth on the part of Gynaecology and Obstetrics residents and specialists. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the content of the subject in education programs. In addition, it is necessary to standardize adjusted protocols that facilitate their execution and implementation.
