| description | Abstract Objectives: to know the perception of obstetric violence for professionals who assist in labor and delivery. Methods: the research was qualitative. Research participants were 22 professionals providing or assisting women during labor and delivery. The sample was defined by data saturation. The analysis of the data collected was performed using the proposed content analysis of Bardin. Results: five categories were identified, professionals highlighted the existence of a process of change in childbirth care and the importance of respecting physiology and intervening when necessary. It was evident that verbal violence is one of the most recurrent forms of obstetric violence. The factors identified as determinants for the existence of violence were the interaction between the parturient and the team, the professional’s lack of preparation and institutional problems. Even with several statements about obstetric violence, some professionals stressed not experiencing it in practice. Conclusions: the need to invest in strategies to inhibit obstetric violence and humanize care is perceived through training professionals and guiding women on their rights. |
