EDUCATIONAL OFFER TO QUALIFY WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE IN THE PARTURITION PROCESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
Interprofessional education; Collaborative practices; Childbirth; Women's health
The parturition process is dynamic, complex and requires comprehensive and safe care. Despite this need, the logic of health work is still marked by the fragmentation of practices, typical of the professional-centered model. Based on this problem, interprofessional education can be adopted to qualify staff for effective teamwork in meeting the needs related to women's health care in the parturition period. The aim of the research was to systematize an in-service qualification process for women's health care in the parturition process based on the theoretical-conceptual and methodological foundations of interprofessional education. A methodological study with a qualitative approach was carried out with professionals and residents working in the obstetrics department of the Seridó Hospital, in the city of Caicó-RN. The study included establishing the conceptual framework; defining the competencies and objectives; constructing the items in the proposal; selecting and organizing the items. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The data collected was analyzed using thematic categorical analysis. The data analysis process allowed for the development of thematic categories, which in turn guided the development of the theoretical, conceptual and methodological structure of the educational offer guided by the assumptions of interprofessional education. The thematic categories found were: multiprofessional work: little interaction and team identity issues; user-centered care; limited understanding of professional roles; collaborative work X training process. The educational offer addressed the aspects identified in the thematic categories. The structure of the educational offer was organized into: expected competences, learning objectives, teaching methodologies, teaching-learning scenarios, learning assessment and evaluation of the educational offer. The entire proposal was guided by an explicit pedagogical intention to develop interprofessional competencies to provide comprehensive and safe care for women in the childbirth process.
