RANGEL FLORES, Yesica Yolanda; LOPEZ PEREZ, Oresta  e  JUAREZ MORENO, Mariana. Resistance and Indigenous Syncretism in Tenek and Nahuas Women from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, on the Experience of Self-care during Pregnancy and Childbirth. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2022, vol.12, n.23, 00014.  Epub 27-Maio-2024. ISSN 2007-8846.  https://doi.org/10.21696/rcsl122320221409.

The objective of this paper is to document the experiences of Tenek and Nahua women in self-care during pregnancy and childbirth, and their perceptions about institutionalized care. Mixed methodologies research was used. Data was collected through surveys and group interviews. Resulted showed that women implement resistance strategies in order to continue the accompaniment of the midwives, and although they are incorporated into the follow-up of the health services, they conceive health participation more as a means of control than as a guarantee of the right to health. This article provides elements for reflection and analysis of maternal health in indigenous contexts. The value of this research lies in the fact that it questions the resistance to the institutional health service, revealing the gaps, omissions and violence in medical practice. It is concluded that family counseling is relevant to decide on their pregnancies and births, while health services assume an ethnocentric view that minimizes and undermines their knowledge and therapeutics.
