Abstract

Objective: to understand nurses’ perceptions of childbirth and hospital birth assistance on the
Franco-Brazilian border.
Method: a qualitative study, carried out with eight nurses who worked in hospital care, in a
municipality located on the French-Brazilian border, between the months of October and
November 2018. We used the semi-structured interview technique, recorded and transcribed,
analyzed based on themes founded in the Theory of Care.
Results: two categories emerged: Knowing and being with the client, in which the reception
and guidance were emphasized; Limitations to maintaining beliefs, doing for and making
it possible, whose main limiting agents were the lack of specialization in obstetric nursing,
precarious prenatal care, cultural diversity and teenage pregnancy.
Conclusion: employees highlighted the need of knowing the context in which they operate to
support the care plan. Deficient autonomy, due to the lack of training, as a complicating factor
for quality obstetric care was evidenced.
