Influência das avós na escolha do tipo de parto

Abstract

The grandparents actively participate in the process of care of both the children as their grandchildren, which exert a strong influence on power behaviors taken by the daughter / daughter in law, but we question whether this power to influence also occurs during labor and birth of daughters / wives. General Objective: To investigate the influence of grandparent s in the choice of delivery of their daughters / wives. Specific Objectives: To identify which type of delivery desired by most mothers and grandmothers by checking whether the mothers are influenced by their mothers to choose the type of delivery; compare the desires of grandparents with the wishes of the mother. Method: This is a quantitative research where questionnaires were administered to a sample of 80 women (40 mothers and 40 grandmothers), held in a public hospital in the District. The results were subjected to statistical analysis simple and presented in tables and graphs. Results: 62.5% of the women said they had a good interaction with the mother / mother in choosing the type of delivery, but the grandmothers despite exhibiting his opinion, not influenced decisions regarding her daughter's choice of mode of delivery. Conclusion: The study is significant for enhancing women's autonomy in choosing the type of delivery, whether by influence of grandparents or by his own decision, but this is at least consulted about what they want to happen in yourdelivery.
