SUMMARY:

The growing search for humanized approaches in puerperal care has driven the integration of Complementary and Integrative Practices (CIPs) into health services. For their effective application, the training of health professionals is essential, which justifies the development of a structured educational program. In the obstetric context, these practices have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing pain and improving postpartum recovery. This study presents a framework that identifies the benefits and challenges involved in incorporating these techniques into puerperal care, focusing on improving patient experience and optimizing clinical outcomes. This is a mixed-methods study conducted with professionals working in the obstetrics sector of a Maternal and Child Hospital in the Seridó Potiguar region. Data collection was carried out through two questionnaires—one administered before and the other after a training session on the use of CIPs as non-pharmacological methods in puerperal care. The qualitative phase was complemented by observing participants’ perceptions regarding the applicability of these practices and the challenges faced in their implementation. The results revealed an expansion of knowledge and increased awareness among professionals about the importance of comprehensive and humanized care. A positive shift was also observed in the acceptance of and interest in incorporating CIPs into the hospital routine, along with recognition of their benefits for pain relief and maternal comfort. It is concluded that the training significantly contributed to strengthening professional practice and promoting the integration of CIPs in the obstetric setting, fostering more humanized, participatory, and woman-centered care. The study reinforces the importance of continuous educational initiatives and institutional support to consolidate the integration of these practices into puerperal care.
