Brazilian scientific publications of obstetrical nurses on home delivery: systematic literature review
This review study of national journals aimed at characterizing the scientific production of Brazilian nurses regarding home delivery and identifying the results achieved. A total of 27 studies were found, of which ten studies complied with the inclusion criteria, with eight constituting the analytical corpus in accordance with the Critical Appraisal Skills Program. Data were synthesized using the meta-ethnographic approach, following the interpretation of the reciprocal translation. Three categories emerged: The care provided by traditional midwives; Experiences of women cared for by health professionals in a home delivery; and Comparative experiences of women who experienced deliveries both at home and in a hospital. The metacategory 'respectful delivery in the embracing home environment' points to the need to assess the reality of the Brazilian home delivery. Results reveal the practice of traditional midwives and the satisfaction of women who delivered their child at home, and reveal an important gap regarding the production of knowledge of the obstetrical nurse regarding home delivery.
