Congresso do Parto e Nascimento do Delta do Parnaíba – I COPN

Abstract

Women's health and children's health are made up of several aspects and are intertwined, especially in childbirth care. In this sense, the social vulnerability of women and children to certain risk situations is a proven determinant of their morbidity and mortality, with emphasis on maternal and neonatal deaths, which, in turn, are preventable by actions of health services, that is, by prenatal care, labor or birth. In this context, the city of Parnaíba-PI appears as the second center for maternal and child health care, however, the post-pandemic scenario of this sector shows the impacts of the redirection of resources, with a decrease in the number of care provided at the Normal Birth Center and an increase in the rates of cesarean sections. Therefore, there is a need to address humanization and good practices related to Childbirth and Birth, providing alternatives that favor family-centered care with minimal interventions, for students in the health area. Therefore, the 1st Congress on Childbirth and Birth of the Parnaíba Delta aimed to contribute to the enrichment of the academic and professional careers of participants, through the dissemination of knowledge about humanized childbirth, which is little explored in the traditional curriculum of health courses. The 1st Congress on Childbirth and Birth of the Parnaíba Delta took place between April 4th and 7th, 2024, through lectures, in the format of expository-dialogue classes, round tables, mini-courses and workshops taught by obstetric nurses, physiotherapists, doulas, lawyers, psychologists, social workers and obstetricians. The abstracts gathered here cover the areas of Health Sciences responsible for Childbirth and Birth Assistance. The book is divided into four thematic axes: Pregnancy, Childbirth and Birth; Women's Health; Newborn Health and Cross-Cutting Themes. All presentations took place in person, led by classroom monitors and evaluators.
