Nursing care during delivery: concept frameworks

Abstract

This study reflects on the care provided by nurses during delivery. It aims at establishing a concept framework from Collière’s principles, developing a reflection on the nursing care provided to the woman during delivery and offering subsidies to improve the quality of nursing care. Its importance derives from the woman’s condition as a human being upon this delicate moment of her life and from the nursing care. It is relevant because it leads the nursing professional to rescue the sensitiveness towards the other person, to rescue the needs of the woman in labor and to provide her with the conditions to develop a sense of maternity and to welcome the human being that is about to come. The conclusion drawn is that it is a contribution to a more human attitude by the nurses upon the obstetrics assistance from concepts whereby ethical, technical and human values are present.
